reload Posted January 12, 2012 Hi Everyone, Here's my Brickvention 2012 model. 120,000 Bricks. 5.7m tall About 250 hours to design and construct. there is some steelwork inside due to its height and public display needs. The tallest thing I have ever built, and I dare say it I'm never going that high again. :) there are some great behind the scenes pics which ill share with after Brickvention. Questions more than welcome, plenty more high-res pictures on my flickr stream Cheers Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
