The designer, known as The Sketchy Maker, used 3D printed models, silicon moulds and concrete to create them.

The designs include an oil company worker, a train driver, a doctor, a wizard, a surfer and a pilot.

The Sketchy Maker said: "The project is to get me to smile a bit and get other people to smile a bit."

"It is a lot of fun making them, but it is also a lot of fun sharing them with people."

I'd like to do some in other cities and maybe more in Aberdeen. I've even had people contact me from Canada and America.

He added: "I'm working on something for Valentine's Day, it is still Lego-related but a bit different."

Lots of people have been getting in touch with the artist and sending him pictures when they've found the figures around the city.
