Ever wonder what the Master Model Builders at LEGOLAND Carlsbad like to do on their California State-mandated, twice daily, ten minute breaks? Well according to my source, (a mole positioned deep within the Carlsbad California model-shop known as “The Encroacher”) many of the Master Builders use the free time to build. Who can blame them? With one of the world’s greatest parts-palette to work with, the temptation to put it to imaginative use must be overwhelming.
In my monthly meeting with “The Encroacher” he pointed me towards a posting from fellow shop worker Joel Baker. The model in question is a Miniland-scale interpretation of everyone’s favorite chair o’ doom, the Iron Throne from George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones. The model itself was actually constructed by a third Master Model Builder, Megan Correnti…yes this story is like a sweet onion, constant reader; layers upon layers.
Stay tuned for more tales from…”The Encroacher”…
(edit) I just saw that the model was also featured on BrickNerd. Tommy Williamson does a great job on the blog, and it wasn’t my intent to poach his post.
No such thing as poaching in my book :-)
If it’s cool, blog it!
^ Well, bloggers should credit where they first found something (including other blogs), but it shouldn’t be necessary to add credit if the blogger found it independently and wasn’t even aware that the other blog happened to have featured it first. ;-)
…yeah…but everybody knows not to mess with Tommy…or you wind up at the bottom of Lake Mead with a free pair of cement shoes.
