[MOC] Lego Wimbledon Centre Court

[legomanijak]

As a huge fan of both Lego and tennis this project is something I didn't want to rush, so it took me a mere 6 years to finish.

Over 40 000 pieces used, around 1200 seats and one dream. All the functions seen in the video (synchronised player movements, the roof closing and opening, lights and cameras following the players) are controlled by remote control, 100% Lego. The most complicated thing to create was the mechanism for the player movements (which took me about a month to figure out) and the most fun part were the players themselves. The roof was also a big challenge since it has to hold a significant amount of weight, but the mechanism for opening and closing it couldn't be simpler. The court itself is minifig scaled whereas the stands are somewhat more modest when compared to the real thing. The dimensions are 180x100x50cm. A big chunk of the eastern stands is not present in order to allow people to see inside the court when the roof is closed.

Depicted in the video are also some of the most famous matches and moments that have taken place at this iconic court as well as some recent ones. Featured is the famous balcony, Royal Box, Rufus, draws, a strawberry and Pimm's stand and much more.

Ready...play!
