Recently, a discussion about whether Lego bricks can only be built according to the set instructions has sparked heated discussions. However, Richard Paules from Washington has given a negative answer with practical actions, and he has just unveiled a stunning LEGO replica of Dulles Airport.
The massive model is modeled after Dulles Airport in the United States, and according to Simple Flight, Paules spent nearly a year building it using more than 45,000 Lego bricks. The sheer scale and the richness of detail are impressive.
Displayed inside a real airport, this LEGO airport measures a staggering 4 feet 8 feet, including a large terminal and a control tower, and even inside the terminal there are models of people checking in their luggage or greeting a LEGO car outside the door.
Pauls, a local, has a long history of building quirky LEGO buildings, having previously recreated Florence Cathedral and Westminster Abbey with bricks. Although the Gothic architecture and intricate stonework are lacking, replicating modern buildings such as Dulles Airport is also challenging. As reported by the local news **abc7:
After its completion in November last year, the replica was quickly purchased by Dulles Airport and proudly displayed in the terminal. Today, Pauls has reclaimed his workspace and says his next goal is to recreate another U.S. airport with Lego bricks, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. And "Simple Flight" further adds:
After creating the creation of Washington's National Airport, which building do you expect Pauls to use Lego bricks to freeze forever? Maybe it's some strange building beyond imagination, like the Peterson Museum?
