lego colosseumAustralia-based architect and certified LEGO builder Ryan McNaught has built the world’s first model of Rome’s famous Colosseum using LEGO.

Made with 200,000 LEGO Bricks, the model measures 1m high, 1.3m wide and 1.8m long—presented the Colosseum in cross-section, with half of it showcasing the building’s present ruined form, while the other half showcasing the original Colosseum when it was completed in 80AD.

Half of the model is installed with a tiny LEGO bus with tourists; while the other half of the model is installed with LEGO gladiators, legionaries, senators, an emperor and a mob in togas.
