Hello again, dear readers! Once again, we see that LEGO material can be used to make just about anything. Of course, we’ve covered stories about the LEGO Lee Enfield sniper rifle and AK-47 in the last two weeks. Now here’s more breaking news about what happens with human imagination and LEGO building blocks come together to create something. Recently, Kuniko Maeda and Mario Minale from the Dutch-based design shop Minale Maeda made a full-scale model of the classic Gerrit Rietveld Buffet table.

That’s right, dear readers. After hearing Jack Streat’s LEGO gun creations for two weeks, now we find out about two guys from a Dutch design shop using LEGO blocks to create furniture. Furthermore, it took about twenty-five thousand blocks to make this replica of the Gerrit Rietveld Buffet table. As you can see from the photo above, the LEGO version bears a striking resemblance to its real-life wooden counterpart.

Now it seems that LEGO might have a future in the furniture industry as well as weapons development. However, I found Streat’s LEGO guns from two weeks ago to be more interesting than this LEGO table, though. Full-sized LEGO versions of real firearms that actually shoot projectiles are more fascinating to me personally. Thus, we continue to see evidence of the unlimited applications for using toy building blocks. Ah LEGO, is there anything you can’t do?

Recently, a defense contractor named Northrop Grumman was given a project to develop combat airships for the U. S. Armed Forces. These aerial vessels will be used specifically for deployment in Afghanistan to keep a constant watch on the country.

Furthermore, these combat airships will be housed and launched from an massive air base designed to float continuously over Afghanistan. This air base is called the Long-Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV), which seems to be resemble an aircraft carrier. The air base is intended to float over certain global locations of interest like Afghanistan at a height of 20,000 feet and monitor the landscape with a series of sensors. The LEMV’s sensory view is designated as the campaign view. Meanwhile, combat airships are also designed for surveying combat areas and their view is known as the Real-Time Strategy (RTS) view. Lastly, foot troops with helmet cams and embedded sensors will be responsible for the First Person Shooter (FPS) view.

Of course, the idea here is to gather more information for making better decisions during military operations on every level of personnel to achieve greater mission success and lower casualties in active duty. Personally, I have to wonder how realistic it is to be developing combat airships to be deployed from a huge, flying fortress. I’d hate to think how much Americans will have to pay in taxes to cover the cost for all that high-tech equipment.
