And you thought modeling was time-consuming

I drew mazes, too, albeit circular, two dimensional ones. It is how I kept from falling asleep during boring classes or while on watch in my Navy days. There wasn't any Aderol back in those days.

That book sounds awesome!

I always got through mazes fairly easily. I especially loved the 3-D ones. If they got too complex with "gimmicks", I got disinterested. There were fairly few though that went that way. I liked the sheer inventiveness of some of the pathways in some, like when they went through landscapes and things like that.

I wonder if this huge maze will find its way to eBay?

I actually started a "super-maze" on a roll of cash register paper. I got about five feet of it done, and then got frustrated by the limited breadth of it. I still have that somewhere too!

Your mazes sound very cool. I'm sure we'd love to see some of them. If you can find 'em, definitely post some images.

I used to doodle mazes when I was a kid, too. I never completed any though. Too busy with my head in the clouds, I guess. I did love to find my way through them, though.

There was a coffee table book given to my parents that must have been published around 1983 or 1984 that had a bunch of wonderfully illustrated, themed, and complex labyrinths. I spent hours and hours with that book. When we moved to the lower 48, it was lost in transit. I can't remember what it was called exactly, but if I saw it, I'm sure I'd remember it. There is one maze in the book I do recall vividly: It was an Egyptian-themed pyramid.

Tim,

This is SO COOL!!!! And I have to tell you---I WAS THAT GUY when I was younger!!

I swear! I have a large artist's sketchbook with literally dozens of hand-drawn mazes--some 3-D, some in shapes of animals, guitars, etc--some themed, like ones going to some "fate" at the end of a turn here or there. I used to draw them for a period of a years. If I can find them when I go back home to Pa, I'll post some scans!

I am firmly convinced that the mental apparatuses and structures that I built or refined through the planning, drawing, and execution of these helped me in my grasp of intricate scale patterns and guitar playing.

Why draw them? Good question. I think it had something to do with being a master o one's own destiny and fate? ........

That's is where all the parts go that hit the floor!

That's actually the map to find where Jimmy Hoffa's buried!

That oughta confuse the old GPS!

Sweet mother of styrene, why?!??

If they print it, I'm getting one. If nothing else, it would look good on a wall.

I'm with you, Subfixer. I love mazes, and this looks to be the maze to end them all.

Looks like the software approval process here at work . . . or the salary approval workflow.

Judging by the photo of his work, he's the same guy that lays out streets and highways here in Baltimore Co., Maryland.

No, thats reserved for the first person who tries to find their way round it.

Now thats dedication, but i think i will stick to plastic.

I'm surprised he's not in a rubber room!
