Man builds Lego Lake District model
Jon Tordoff estimated he had used about 200,000 pieces of Lego on the model so farAn artist who has made a 100 sq ft model of the Lake District out of Lego is to put it together for the first time.
Jon Tordoff, from Derbyshire, said his model, which started as a replica of Buttermere, had nearly doubled in size since it was last displayed.The model is due to go on show at Belper Library in the new year.He swapped paint brushes for building blocks during the pandemic, setting out to recreate his favourite spot Buttermere."It's tranquil, unspoilt - there's only one road that takes you there - I love the towering fells, the woodland and waterfalls," he said.
Mr Tordoff said he had received a significant amount of praise for his work when the model went on display in a pub over Easter."People said it's not Lego any more, it's a piece of art."Image caption,Mr Tordoff said building it had become "a bit of an obsession" and so the model had expanded. "What was down in the pub was a valley of the Lake District with Crummock Water and Buttermere on it.
"Now I've come over the Honister Pass, up Borrowdale and I've got Derwent Water heading towards Keswick now in the next valley," he said.Mr Tordoff has estimated he had used about 200,000 pieces of Lego on the model so far.
