See the Beijing Olympic stadiums in Lego A Honk Kong Lego Users Group has reconstructed the new iconic Beijing Olympic stadiums entirely out of Lego
The finished display is certainly impressive, but the behind-the-scenes photos reveal the true scale and impressive techniques that went into the LEGO Sport City.
The iconic National Stadium was designed by Ming, an architect by trade. It took him over 100 hours to complete, and is 128×154 studs in size (that’s about 40″ x 48″). The outer shell includes thousands of hinge plates.
The National Aquatics Center was built by Vincent Cheung over the course of 120 hours, and has a three-tier design with a cell-like structure in the transparent blue walls.
The Swimming Cube is illuminated with a fluorescent lamp inside, and measures 148 by 148 studs, or 46″ on each side.
Chiukeung built the Olympic Village, which is 160 x 224 studs (50″ x 70″). Chiukeung spent 100 hours on the project.

That is truly amazing. I was a big lego fan as a kid so I can really appreciate just how much work went into that. The stadium itself is incredible – I wouldn’t even have know how to start that one.
