Breaking Bad Meth Lab in Lego

Breaking Bad poorly written?? Now I've heard it all..

I love this show, season 4 was great except for the finale, which had an unrealistic ending. The storyline is great.

Hi after seeing the following http://gizmodo.com/5920276/lego-breaking-bad-set-will-never-happen-but-we-want-it-anyway
And some other images of this from around the net i am determined to copy it and maybe refine to make my own version.

I am new to lego after purchasing some of the lord of the rings sets but absolutely love the creativity behind it.

Any idea what some of the more unique pieces in this build are? The Central and side chemical vats mainly and the minifigures?

Thanks, anyone else into making a breaking bad lego diorama?

The vat is made from quarter tubes/cylinders (30562). There are lots of 1x2 tiles. Look through the catalogue on bricklink to find the ones you need.

I'd contact the builder - he might be able to give you hints and tips.

Cheers thanks for that, just the start i needed, found some uk sellers on there and i think im going to trawl through and find some parts.

Ill try and see if i can get somecontact details for the builder too.

Just a few more questions does anyone know if the grey in the pictures is light grey or light blueish grey? I cant really tell. Thanks in advance!

CCC

Light bluish grey is the newer colour, light grey is the older colour (ended about 2008). New parts tend to be cheaper / more available in light bluish grey - although it obviously depends on the part.

Given a choice, I'd go for light bluish grey, simply because this is what appears in new sets, and will be more useful if/when you decide to break the MOC and build something else.

If a show that has the main character making Methamphetamine (Meth, Crystal Meth, etc...) and selling it is your idea of a good show, than go for it. And we wonder why this country is in the state it is.

if you watched the show you would see it doesn't glorify it. it's shows how it turns the man making the meth into a monster and how his actions impact everyone around him. it's very well written and acted

I want to rebuild this. Anyone knows if there's a way to contact the original creator, or has anyone here who actually managed to reproduce something similar be kind enough to share instructions? Thanks!

Citizen Brick, a custom Lego pad printer made this Breaking Bad set a little while ago. I tried to get it it but it kept selling out. Unfortunately the prices have gone up on eBay.

I actually like the other version better than this. It's much more detailed, for one, and more accurate too. I think I'd prefer spending the $800 bricklinking that than buying the Citizen Brick version on ebay.
