加油北京!LEGO style

Photos from the HKLUG 2008 Olympics Flickr Set.

In the grand tradition of Lego versions of Lord of the Rings, The Bible, and “Thriller”, the Hong Kong LEGO Users Group (HKLUG) have created the Beijing Olympics with Legos. They say that it took 300,000 bricks and 4,500 mini figures to create. Some of the projects, including the Bird’s Nest, took 100+ hours.
If you’re in Hong Kong, you can see this yourself in Mongkok’s Grand Century Place, where the exhibition will run until August 31st.

If you are not in Hong Kong, then check out the rest of the photos in their Flickr group. There is also an excellent behind-the-scenes look over at The Brothers Brick.
