The Impossible Triangle

The Impossible Triangle (also known as the Impossible Tribar or Penrose Triangle) is an optical illusion created by Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934. It's Impossible because the corners contradict each other when you look at it from the right angle. I also made a black stand with a white plaque in addition to the blue triangle. (The print for the plaque is yet to be made). Picture 1 is the Impossible Triangle from the angle that makes it seem "Impossible". The rest of the images are the Triangle from other angles that are less "Impossible". I built this model because there are no other active Impossible Triangle models on LEGO IDEAS, so I decided to make the first one. Feedback is much appreciated, so feel free to leave constructive criticism in the comments. Thanks!
