Around the world with Lego

Saturday July 19, 2013

If you could travel anywhere... where would you go?

Within the Lego show, I got the chance to travel around the world.... through the eyes of some pretty fantastic creations.

Hop aboard...





How about the Orient? With it's beautiful gardens...



I could easily picture myself stitching here... or enjoying some chocolate.
Or how about a castle by the sea?



Amazing detail inside too...


Not quite right? 
How about this one...


7,000 pieces
80 hours to build

that's all?


Not big enough...ok... got that covered...
off to Scotland


(complete with a giant, lol)
based on a real castle called Caerlaverock 

some of the detail inside this one...




Ok, so you want more land with your castle?
Got that covered too.. 
of course...




And look - this one's even got a dragon!


And another dragon...


I love how they used the Lego to make it look like it's breathing fire!




Can't imagine how long this took to build....
how they transported it... 
 how long it took to set it up again.

So, castle not your thing?
Something warmer?
With Palm trees?

Check this out.




Even the water was Lego pieces....


hmmm... want to go higher?


Perhaps a livelier building is what you seek...


Maybe you'd like to travel back in time to the Vikings?


Complete with an electric boat that circled the village.
In case you were wondering what's inside the buildings...


Returning to the present...


Why yes - that's indeed Mississauga's City Hall
didn't see hazel though...

Take a tour of the city...



High speed train...













 



There's even minifig people inside the buildings...




Pretty incredible tour.
Think that was out of this world?

You ain't seen nuttin yet....

but that's another story....
