Lego Awesomeness

For those of you that have watched the Simpsons, you may be familiar with the Homer’s bowling ball type of gift.  I got Nancy tickets to a Lego exhibition in Seattle and, of course, I got to go along too.  The show was based around some large scale and complex lego creations which could include various forms of reinforcement.  The group that builds them is from Australia and there is a tour of their work for which this was one stop.

I will post some more specific items from the show in upcoming posts as there were some specific pieces that justify their own coverage.  Today I shall just give a more general showing of what was on display.  The exhibits were well spaced out and there were restrictions on attendance numbers for COVID which meant it was pretty easy to get a clear photo of some of the builds.  The lighting could be a bit tricky but overall it was fine.  I did use HDR sometimes in order to address the deeper shadows on some items.

The level of detail in the builds was impressive.  For the more complex ones, there were plenty of Easter eggs to try and find.  Signs for each one would give you clues as to what to look for.  I am sure I could have spent even longer checking each one out if I had wanted and found more little elements that had been snuck in to their construction.  If it comes your way, maybe make a trip to see the work.
