Excel Entrance Sculpture

I made a detour to the Excel exhibition centre to visit a friend from high school.  He works there and was able to meet up and chat for a while.  As I walked up the steps, I came to a sculpture that they have commemorating the workers that had made the docks the vibrant place they were for hundreds of years.  I thought it was a pretty cool sculpture so here it is!

Ice(Block)Breaker

I have already shared quite a few shots from the Lego Awesome exhibit in Seattle.  One of the creations they had on display was an icebreaker.  This was a big beast and, in keeping with a lot of the pieces, it was cut in half to show the interior.  The boat itself would have been an amazing build but the interior elements were fantastic.

To show all of the elements would result in loads of images and that isn’t going to be so good to work your way through so I have cut it down to a few shots to give you an idea of what they had done.  The internal parts of the ship were reproduced and there were all sorts of Easter eggs scattered throughout like aliens that had been recovered from the ice.  The ship was even pitching up at an impressive angle on a sea of blocks that was a great piece of work on its own.  I think icebreakers are neat looking ships so to have one made on this scale, in Lego, and with so much little detail was a lot of fun for me.
