| Ideas on how to build a giant pear?!
In Denmark, we have a children's story "The Fantastic Tale of the Giant
Pear". It was a book, now it's a movie, too - and my kids LOVE it almost
as much as they love LEGO.
I really want to build it for them, and I have loads of ideas. BUT! I am struggling
to figure out how to best approach achieving the external pear-shape.
Does anyone have any ideas, or have come across something with similar shapes,
that could lead me to a guide or examples?

| | 3 minifig-scale storey high? With the interior too? |

Yeah, that's the plan. Basically, I am guessing it would be roughly the same
size as one of the smaller sets from the Modular Buildings Collection.
I'd want to build the interior, too. Like the modular buildings, I would
like to be able to take the roof and floors apart to look inside.

A modular pear?
Anyway, I would start by designing a modular building or using an existing
design. I would use one of the smaller buildings with a square footprint, like
You can then modify it to your liking, changing the footprint from square to
round and the color to green. LEGO bricks are naturally kind of blocky, so it's
not going to be perfectly smooth, but if you use smaller parts to build the walls,
then it will look less square and more round.

Yep.
You can build a modular to get the size and structure and then the shape is ‘just’
decor, roundish greenish panels attached around it.
You may start with the shape first but you need to get the size right.
Also, if you want to build it, and if you are using Studio (you are, aren’t you?),
start with the BDP4 palette: it has currently (well, 2025) produced bricks.
It seems to me that, among the greens, there’s more smooth parts in Lime (curved
slopes and Technic panels for instance).
Maybe a bit flashy… but then it’s for kids 
Or go Yellow.

Besides the box, the build, and the instructions not matching, this one also
has wider pages on the left than on the right

Heretics!
Too small, I fear (it’s too completely curved to serve only for some bits).
Also, a purple pear? 🤨
