My love of both Legos and the Olympicsis well documented. My son is also obsessed with the former and learning to love the latter.
I was thrilled, therefore, to see this astounding recreation of the Beijing Olympic facilities in Legos, including the Bird’s Nest, the Water Cube, the beach volleyball court, the equestrian arena, and more. (More photos here, including cutaways that show how they did the patterns in the walls of the Water Cube.)
Show this to your kids and hear them say “Wow!” (Then quickly explain why you can’t run out to the nearest Lego store and buy them enough bricks to do it themselves.)
(Thanks, Slashdot.)
