"You never get tired, you will never be finished with it - when you pass around it or see it against the sky... something new goes on all the time... together with the sun, the light and the clouds, it makes a living thing."When Lego's Architecture series meets one of my favourite buildings, I had to get my hands on it. And even better that I was able to buy it from the shop in the building in question.- Jorn Utzon, Architect, Sydney Opera House
It's been a long while since I had a new Lego set... so long in fact that about half of the bricks in this set didn't even exist yet.
I do like the Lego Architecture series boxes... simple, but classy.
The bricks came divided into three bags, with some large loose plates as well as the 83 page book that's mostly instructions, but also contains the history of the Opera House.
The baseplate, complete with specially printed name tile.
The two swivel plates are the key to getting the two halves of the Opera House to angle in properly.
The single sloping pieces make the stairs... and Guillaume at Bennelong starts to take shape on the right.
And the tiles make up the plaza... the colour is pretty spot on too.
Then the Opera Theatre (sans sails) takes shape at the back.
Followed by the Concert Hall (also sans sails) at the front.
The last step is to add the big white sails.
So there it is... my completed Lego Sydney Opera House!Current Mood:
