Hi all,
A few of the Brickville guys spent much of our weekend building an 8 foot model
of the Great Sphinx, which will now become part of a local Lego exhibit running
here in Vancouver until September.

Some specs:
- About 95% Duplo
- Used some System brick to "smooth out" some of the curves (face, etc.)
- About 35,000 bricks
- Approximately 70 man-hours to build
- A really fun build!
Big thanks to the builders that helped me; Scott Falez (not pictured above),
David Gagnon, and Paul Hetherington.
I'll be posting links to more pictures of this and other creations in a few
months when the exhibit wraps up.
If you're in the Vancouver, BC, Canada area in the next 4 months, come and check
out an awesome exhibit, "LEGO: Secrets Of The Pharaohs" at Science World
(Exhibit -

| Very impressive! I never duplo could do so much, and I don't feel childish playing with lego at all now ; ) God Bless, Nathan Visit my brickshelf gallery: (URL) (pic=link) (18 years ago, 26-May-06, to lugnet.duplo, FTX)
