Bright Bricks co-director Ed Diment makes building the world’s largest LEGO® model ship look easy.
The reality, however, can be quite different–as explained at Friday’s press event for this new exhibit at the Queen Mary, in Long Beach..
“Ed had to change the smokestacks three times,” offered Jordan Hays, staff member at Bright Bricks, Ed’s UK-based professional LEGO® building company. The issue? Well–getting the smokestacks round, while using square building bricks.
Quite literally, putting square bricks in a round hole.
As everyone admired this new permanent exhibit, Ed talked about his experiences as a professional LEGO® builder, and what it was like to create this 604-pound, 25-foot model.
