The London 2012 Olympic Park
The Forth Bridge: a slightly-quicker-to-paint six-metre Lego version in front of its larger train-carrying counterpart
London’s St Pancras International station, comprising an incredible 180,000 bricks
The Kelpies: Falkirk’s famous 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures

About Warren

The gift of a Lego Statue of Liberty set re-awakened Warren Elsmore’s childhood passion for the plastic bricks.

He became more and more ambitious with his models. After his success with the London 2012 Olympic Park model, he decided it was time to form his own company.
