    • One of my favorite day trips from Tokyo was visiting the Great Buddha of Kamakura. Space2310 continues his series of excellent Japanese LEGO models with a microscale Amida Buddha.

    LEGO Great Buddha of Kamakura

    Like the real Buddha in Japan, this one has little windows on his back so visitors can look out. The cherry blossoms add a wonderful touch to the presentation of this LEGO creation.

      What a wonderful color selection for this statue. The design looks very good and the added cherry blossom and base mat captures a sense of tranquility. Very nice creation! It would be interesting to see what it would look like with some greenery/foliage in the background.

      Looks like the base is made with incense sticks.
