Tag Archives: Miniland

“Miniland” is the name of the area at LEGOLAND theme parks where master model builders have created landmarks and cityscapes. Built at a scale about twice as large as the size of models built for minifigs, the building style is also popular with LEGO fans who aren’t professional model builders themselves.

What is the sound of one me talking? This is the Colbert Report!

Tommy Williamson (GeekyTom) recreates the complete set for Stephen Colbert’s The Colbert Report in Miniland scale, complete with trophies and bookshelves.

Matt Armstrong (Monsterbrick) has added another ingredient to his miniland scale rendition of the Powerpuff Girls, LEGO. I think he did an especially nice job on the shoes.
