The Unofficial 2008 Beijing Olympics Blog

There ain’t nothing like the read thing, but this comes mighthy close! The pics bellow are part of a huge lego represantation dubbed Sports City, a total recreation of some of the venues which we’ll see in Beijing.

HKLUG erected this awesome Lego sculpture which is both impressively realistic and pretty massive in size. The replica of the National Stadium itself took over 100 hours to complete, measuring about 40″ x 48″. Also included in the sculpture is the National Aquatics Center (”Swimming Cube”), and Olympic Village.

If you’re lucky enough to be in Hong Kong within the next month or so, you can check out the Lego Sports City yourself at Grand Century Place between now and August 31, 2008.
