When it comes to LEGO models, there are some that go by the instruction sheet, and others that go out on their own designs. But Mike Doyle does one even better by constructing his own 200,000 piece futuristic city, named “Contact 1”. I don’t think it would be a stretch to call this a SciFi LEGO Masterwork.

When it comes to building working replicas out of LEGO, Warren Seely is probably in a class by himself. The home schooled young man, enrolled in college courses at 15 years old, spends his time not building models on his parent's farm. Warren is planning to become an electrical engineer, and from the looks of it he is already off to a great start.

Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century after commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. It now covers a range of subtopics including power, electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications.

When Johnny was young, he was determined to build a Lego tower to the ceiling. When Johnny did that, his parents were amazed. When Johnny got older, he said he was going to build a Lego tower to the top of the house. When Johnny did that, his parents were amazed. When Jonny was in college, he told his parents he was going to build a Lego tower to the top floor of the dorm. When he did that, his parents were amazed. Recently Johnny told his parent he was going to build a Lego tower to the moon. After accidently driving by the tower pictured his parents have not been heard from.
You are looking at the largest Lego tower in history (Johnny would have been proud). Standing just under 100 ft, it incorporates 500,000 Lego blocks and is a contender for the new world record, beating the old record by more than 3 ft. (There are more of these things?) Due to the height and winds guy wires were used to stabilize the structure, and it took a fairly large crane to put the last blocks in place. But there is a method to the madness – this is done to commemorate the 50th anniversary of LEGO.
