LEGO show Swindon - some amazing builds

[Top Banana]

Took my Lad on our annual trip to the Great Western Lego show in Swindon today. Some great builds this year with an amazing B52 bomber, and really well detailed 1960's BR railway layout.

Standout ones for me though were the Ecurie Ecosse transporter with D-type jags, and the FORD racing transporter with Lotus F1 car and Alan Mann Racing escort/GT40 combo.

Here are a few pics :


Massive mosaic that was being built tile by tile - you could join in with this build.



Rather large space shuttle

Superb!

Is this an annual Swindon show?

Some epic stuff on show!

So is this a display by amateur Lego enthusiasts or 'official'? I'm assuming the former.

Perhaps I'm sounding a little old but it's lovely to see Lego still going strong in this technological age. Fair play to them for moving with the times and ensuring they are covering the market with stuff like Star Wars, LOTR etc.

the show is organised by 'the brickish association'which is a club for adult lego fans/builders - most of the models on show were built by members of this club or other lego clubs.

date is normally 1st weekend in October, venue is the steam museum at Swindon - hence the show is known as the great western lego show.

i think there may also be a similar show in Manchester so might be worth a look on the web
