DQ Blog – Skyscraping LEGO

Alice Blackwood and the DQ blog bring us the story of Adam Tucker, LEGO architect extraordinaire.

DQ Blog – Skyscraping LEGO

BY

February 22nd, 2011

It’s a fact of (DQ magazine) life, that there’s never enough space to fit in everything you want – a bit like going on holiday with a 7kg suitcase, right?

Well this issue, writer Peter Sackett whipped up an amazing story on a LEGO architecture exhibition, currently showing at the National Building Museum in Washington DC.

Unfortunately we couldn’t fit the complete story into the magazine… and lucky for us, we now have this fabulous forum, to give our stories a second life.

You must read on, as Peter’s a great writer, and the story of Adam Tucker, LEGO extraordinaire, is not to be missed!

Click here for the full story on certified LEGO professional Adam Tucker and his amazing creations.
