Toy Art: Check out London Olympic Park's LEGO replica

Warren Elsmore created a miniature, LEGO-built version of London's Olympic Park in England. The artist's reproduction covers the entire event square in Stratford, within the London capital.

Elsmore used 250, 000 LEGO bricks to build the structure, which weighs 80kg and is worth about $ 30, 000 (today's equivalent of $ 61, 300). To execute the project, the freelance LEGO artist took over 300 hours, which is about three full weeks working on it.

The toy sculpture is not an official replica and was made from informal research on the area - without official information from the IOC. This explains why there is no Olympic torch in the miniature Olympic village. Check out more images of Elsmore's beautiful work in the gallery below, taken from Pocket-lin.
