Lego Models of Fenway Park, Wally the Green Monster to be Auctioned at MLB.com


Well, we just wrapped up our holiday party and ran back to the shop to put the finishing touches on the Fenway model a few hours ago.

I gotta say this was a great but challenging and nerve-wracking model to work on. Sheesh, there’s not a single right angle in all of Fenway.

So with all the interest in microscale building lately I thought everyone would like to see photos of the finished model. Here ya go.

The scale turned out to be something like 160:1 and one stud comes in at around 50 inches. The Wally model in the gallery would be a 160 foot tall rampaging green monster.

Remember the hinge plate is your friend.

Thanks for sharing these pictures, Erik! Its awesome to see the under-construction pictures of this model. Also, its kind of funny how small the green monster (the wall, not the mascot... I never understood the mascot) looks in this scale.

Anyway, great work!

-Alfred
