Lego Olympics

As the world watches the Beijing Games, enthusiasts from Hong Kong have unveiled their own Olympics - built entirely from Lego. More than 300,000 Lego bricks and 4,500 Lego people were used to create the display, by the Hong Kong Lego User Group, who said of the project: 'We believe that creations are not limited by resources, but by ideas'. The structure measures 10ft by 26ft and features most of the recognisable venues, including the Birds’ Nest Stadium and the Water Cube swimming centre.

I have no shame in saying at the age of 20 that I still have a bit of a soft spot for Lego!
