On the second day of the heatwave, we're apartment bound. What to do? The Adelaide Convention Centre is across the street. A world renown Lego exhibit is there. Why not?
We must walk all of
514 steps (according to Fitbit) to the Convention Center. Years ago CJ saw a
Lego exhibit in a small mall in Brest, France. It was spectacular. Some of the exhibits took two man-years to construct.
Twenty years later, computer-aided design has significantly reduced the time it takes to design and build exquisite models. One wouldn't think it was worth $30 to view
Lego models; but it is. Check some of them out.
There were 39 displays. The one below is a bullet train where a number of compartments have cut away views. The level of detail is "awesome".
This one is a full sized Harley, again with amazing detail.
This is a larger than life mosquito.
The
Trieste two sea floor displays.
This Russian cargo jet is a complete cut away view on the other side. The detail in the exterior, interior and the support vehicles boggles the mind.
There is a full size
Camry.
The two most incredible displays were a Russian icebreaker where one side was exterior and one was interior. The interior level of detail was incredible: engine rooms, galleys, laundry rooms, bridge,
The other was a 20 foot tall rocket.
