Developer victormustar asked Opus 5.5 to design a life-size Microduck buildable with real LEGO pieces. The model delivered a surprisingly complete result: a life-size design using 1,113 real LEGO parts, verified 3,204 connections with zero collisions, every step buildable and center of mass inside the feet, a 141-page LEGO-style instruction booklet (237 steps), plus piece-by-piece pricing with orders prepared on BrickLink. He has now sourced all pieces (total cost €95) and is building it in real life with his kids — success TBD.
