Legolympic

The Hong Kong Lego User Group takes their bricks and games seriously.

Like everyone else obsessed about the grandeur of Beijing's Olympic venues, they rave about the complexity of the Bird's Nest and the luminescent brilliance of the Water Cube. To pay homage, these fascinating structures are recreated in their complexity as Lego replicas, using more than 300,000 Lego bricks and 4,500 Lego people. The model measures nearly 25 feet by 9, and also includes models of the Sport Village, Resident Buildingd, and Equestrian Center. Not bad for 100 hours of work.
