Hi everyone,
These are the photos I wanted to post last week, but deleted them from the camera before downloading.
What is so special about this? As quoted from a sign next to the replica: "It's a replica of Green Bay Packer's Stadium, designed and built by 15 Engineering Students from Milwaukee School of Engineering. It was completed August 5, 2013" and is exhibited in the lobby of Bellin Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
"It took 1500 hours designing and building the project. The design is based on pictures and computer projections. The replica is built on a 1" : 6' scale. The replica measures 15' x 13" and is 27" tall."
"Over 130,000 pieces were used, equaling to approximately 500 pounds of plastic." Most of those pieces, if not all, are Legos.
It is pretty awesome to see that in the huge lobby of the hospital and boggles my mind every time I look at it. ha ha - I always wonder how many times the a chain reaction was started and it toppled. I think now they have it permanently affixed together so there is no chance of that happening. Mr. D says it was made out of a whole bunch of Legos!
Just had to share this with you because I find it fascinating.
Thoughts are with all our friends living in the southern states and Eastern seaboard. The latest winter storm sure is raising havoc down there. I can't complain about the 1 inch we received today. It's peanuts compared to what others are receiving.
Take care everyone - stay safe, and I hope your power stays on.
