Large Models lego projects

Brickvention 2016!

I’d like to thank everyone who came along to Brickvention in Melbourne over the 16th and 17th of January and helped us build one of the worlds largest LEGO classic space sets at 64 times its normal size! Using over 550,000 bricks, we finished it with a few hours to spare at 3pm on Sunday.

Occasionally we build something that tops our usual standard of awesome, and occasionally we get to play with really cool stuff, like Dr Who.

I remember as a kid watching the Doctor and his adventures around the galaxy, never for one minute did I think I’d ever get to build a life sized Tardis out of LEGO though!

Our latest Exhibition opens in Sydney shortly:

Sydney Living Museums presents Sydney Harbour Icons with LEGO® Bricks , a world premiere
exhibition at the Museum of Sydney from 7 November 2015.

Here’s our latest world record build, the worlds largest LEGO flower.

100,000 bricks and over 400 hours to create, all it needed was a bit of water to grow 🙂

Its grand unveiling is at the Ballarat Begonia Festival for the long weekend of March 7-9th and after that the model will be on display as part of my upcoming tour www.brickmanexperience.com.au

For the first time ever you are welcome to come along and experience my complete collection of LEGO models, along with those of my colleagues the other LEGO Certified professionals who have each created a unique piece for the show.

Come and join in the fun as there is plenty of hands on activities where ill be getting you to help build some giant LEGO models and masterpieces.

Ive got a stack of new stuff never seen in public before so for your only chance to see them come along!

Here is the latest model to leave our workshop, Made for the Disney premiere of the movie Cinderella.

(I’m thinking I need to wear the glass slipper as she has me covered for height!)

She was about 2 weeks in the making, and approx 25,000 bricks.

Thanks to everyone who came in and helped at Brickvention 2014, we managed to build 2 of the most amazing LEGO mosaics.

Each mosaic is 170,540 LEGO pieces!
They are 4.2m wide and 2.4m tall.

On Saturday we completed the LEGO movie mosaic and Sunday we did the Royal Exhibition buildings, I’m sure you will agree they came up really well.

My first ever solo exhibition of LEGO works in conjunction with Sydney Living Museums.

Go along and see what our whole team spent many months building and working on.
This one pushed us to our limits with intricate details, complex curves and architectural geometry.

The exhibition celebrates tall and extraordinary buildings from Australia and Asia. Some are engineering head-turners while others are technical marvels.
(To be honest we are still not sure how we managed to pull off some of these buildings!)

Towers of Tomorrow with LEGO Bricks is on now at Museum of Sydney.

Easily the tallest model I have ever made standing 10m tall. 450,000 bricks and weighing in at 3,500 kilograms.

Everything about this tree and its surrounding models is epic, featured int he Pitt Street mall in Sydney until Dec 27th.
The light and sound show is at 8pm, 8.15pm, 8.30pm and 8.45pm every night.

If you are really keen you can see the behind the scenes timelapse of how we build it

And for more great pictures of the tree don’t forget to check out my Flickr page.

For those old enough to appreciate the movie “Ferris Bueller’s day off” you can probably remember this car.
I certainly will never be able to afford a real one (they are over $10 million bucks!) i figured id build myself a real one.
At over 1.8m long and 50,000 bricks, I think you will agree that it is “soooooooo choice”

Last year saw us complete a 3m tall Yoda for May the 4th, this year we went a little bit further, a world record 4.6m tall Darth Vader!

One of my colleagues from the USA Dan Steininger came down under and together we managed to pull off the worlds largest LEGO darth vader.

Thanks to everyone who came out to help out we had a blast.

Sometimes, just sometimes we get to have some fun, this poor guy is simply called “Oh Noes!”
