Artist spends £4k to make replica of Lake District using 200,000 Lego pieces
An artist has invested £4,000 in making a replica of the Lake District using 200,000 pieces of Lego.
The impressive 150 sq ft to-scale model can be seen in this video shot at Derbyshire’s Belper Library, where it is on display.
Jon Tordoff started making the replica two years ago as a Covid-19 lockdown project.
What had started as a replica of Buttermere Lake soon went on to include Crummock Water, Derwentwater, Borrowdale and Honister Pass.
Mr Tordoff said: “It’s the first time I’ve seen it all fully completed together so it’s quite a special moment for me.”
