With meticulous attention to detail and approximately tens of thousands of bricks, Buckingham Palace is reimagined with LEGO. The Royal Wedding, LEGO-style, includes Kate Middleton, Prince William, the Queen Mother, guards, and A-list guests (including Sir Elton John with new baby, Victoria Beckham expecting a baby) with a careful eye for fashion and placement…

“…The Royal Wedding scene including crowd, guests and balcony took model makers over 30 hours to build using 10,000 bricks. Each Miniland figure took one hour to build and contains 30 – 40 LEGO bricks. Buckingham Palace itself features 160,000 individual bricks and was built on a 1:50 scale and took 550 hours to build…”
—press release from Legoland

The display will be on view at Legoland Windsor themepark’s Miniland attraction.

“The skirt is comprised entirely of the illustrations from the books sewn together with metallic gold thread, and the bodice is made from the books’ foil spines.”
