POSEIDON GUARDIAN OF ATLANTIS Paul Hetherington Number of bricks: 25,000 Poseidon, Guardian of Atlantis. For thousands of years Poseidon has carefully guarded the secrets of Atlantis. As he watches over his underwater kingdom, he keeps Atlantis carefully hidden inside his throne. Many have tried to find the origins of Atlantis, but as long as Poseidon rules the oceans, it’s secrets are safe from the human race. He is made up from 25,000 Lego elements. There are 20 animated minifigures powered with Lego Power Functions motors. The mermaids swim and sway as the ruler of Atantis, Spongebob Squarepants looks on from inside his clam shell.

Poseidón, guardián de la Atlántida. Durante miles de años, Poseidón ha protegido cuidadosamente los secretos de la Atlántida. Mientras vigila su reino submarino, mantiene la Atlántida escondida en su trono. Han sido mucho los que han intentado descubrir los orígenes de la Atlántida, pero, mientras Poseidón reine sobre los océanos, sus secretos están a salvo de la raza humana. Está hecho con 25,000 piezas de Lego y hay veinte figurines animados que funcionan con motores de Lego Power Functions. Las sirenas nadan y se bambolean mientras el soberano de la Atlántida, Bob Esponja, observa desde el interior de una concha de almeja.

VICTORIAN ON MUD HEAP
Mike Doyle Number of bricks: 130,000
The third and final piece from this series began during the Japanese tsunami and nuclear disaster which served to inspire the mud theme. Here we have a peculiar house with an old refrigerator perched on the roof and a house surrounded by mud. La tercera y última pieza de esta serie la empecé durante el tsunami japonés y el desastre nuclear, que me sirvió para inspirarme con el barro. Aquí tenemos una casa peculiar con una vieja nevera en el tejado y una casa rodeada de lodo.

RIALTO BRIDGE VENICE
Anuradha Pehrson Number of bricks: 65,000 Probably the most visited and most photographed bridge in Venice, (Ponte di Rialto) opened in 1591, connecting the districts of San Polo and San Marco. The bridge is formed by two inclined ramps covered by a portico with shops on either side. This area has long been a market place for Venetians and Tourists. I chose to build this Bridge because not only is it interesting, but the surrounding area tells a story as well. It took around three months and 65,000 pieces to complete.

Probablemente el puente de Venecia más visitado y fotografiado sea el Puente de Rialto, inaugurado en 1591, que une los barrios de San Polo y San Marco. El puente está formado por dos pendientes que están cubiertas por un pórtico con tiendas a ambos lados. Esta zona se ha convertido en un mercado para los venecianos y los turistas. Escogí hacer este puente no solo porque es interesante, sino porque la zona que lo rodea también tiene su propia historia. Tardé unos tres meses y necesité 65,000 piezas para terminarlo.

NIGHTHAWKS OF THE LIVING DEAD

“Nighthawks” was inspired by an artwork by Travis Pitts, which I borrowed and turned into Lego.
“Nighthawks” esta inspirada en la obra de Travis Pitts, hice la adaptación zombie en Lego.

ZOMBIE PLAYGROUND
The zombie playground was another artwork by Jason Chan. Just like the movie scene recreations, it’s fun to take someone’s art and transform it into another medium.

The zombie playground es la adaptación de la obra de arte de Jason Chan. Al igual que las recreaciones de escenas de película, es divertido llevar el arte de alguien y convertirlo en otro medio.

MINIONS
Yen-Chih Huang (Rack Huang) Number of bricks: 3,400
The Minions are characters from a popular movie that I personally like a lot as well as my children. I created 12 types of minions and here I show you two of them. The eyes and mouth are the main features of this work, because it is what gives realism to the characters.

RIVENDELL Alice Finch & David Frank Number of bricks: 200,000
The seed for this project was planted the very first time we met. We both enjoy building castles, both historic and fantastical, and we decided to build Rivendell together as we are both tremendous Tolkien fans. We planned the layout quite carefully and included scenes from both The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Rivendell is built on 32 large baseplates and is built from approximately 200,000 bricks, including about 10,000 small slopes to create the patterns on the roofs.

La semilla de este proyecto se plantó nada más conocernos. Ambos disfrutamos construyendo castillos, tanto históricos como fantásticos, y decidimos hacer Rivendel porque los dos somos grandes fans de Tolkien. Preparamos el diseño con mucho cuidado e incluimos escenas tanto de El Hobbit como de El señor de los anillos. Construimos Rivendel sobre treinta y dos placas base grandes y utilizamos aproximadamente 200,000 ladrillos, incluyendo cerca de 10,000 pequeñas pendientes para crear los tejados.
