....explain it could be worse!

Went to Brickvention 2014 in Melbourne today. Some pics for you to refer to should you need to in the future!

Several massive railway/town layouts




There's a Bond exhibition on at the Museum at the moment (see further down), hence these


8 METRE (yes, 8 METRE!!) long suspension bridge


Lots of Star Wars stuff, because the kids love it apparently




Him again


Minifigure scale Kenworth plus trailer was enormous


Cue Crocodile Dundee voice:
That's not the Sydney Opera House.....


THIS is the Sydney Opera House!!



Lanc and Dakota



Replica of part of Nicholson Street that runs up the side of the Museum


Level of detail on these was incredible - they almost didn't look like Lego


Think you've got too much Technic? You don't. This guy has!



After all that I went across to the Museum and through the Bond Exhibition:

Skyfall Aston, complete with "drawn on" hole in the roof. They don't cut them up anymore, instead they use 1/3 scale 3D printed models.

Quite a good day, and my 5 year old son was extra happy.

ETA: I have no idea why some of the pics are on their sides - they are all the right way up in Photobucket frown I rotated them in Paint before uploading, and then rotated them again because they were back to original in PB. Bugger.

Get that lot over to Legoland Windosr, and with the right publicity, Berkshire would be gridlocked!!

Although not sure they have their pricing the right way round - cheaper on the day rather than in advance? Always thought it was the other way around.
Maybe a night at Tortworth Court beforehand smile
