![]() ![]() And now, with my young family, films like The Lion King offer a nice way for me to talk to my children about our ancestral homeland. Later, when living in the UK, I also remember visiting my uncle in the Ashdown Forest, which inspired Winnie the Pooh, and we would play Pooh Sticks on Pooh Bridge. Talking about the inspiration for her mural, Lakwena referenced the Disney characters that inspired her creativity as a child, and those she sees sparking the imagination of her two sons today: “When I lived in Ethiopia as a child in the 90s, there wasn’t access to many films, so we would watch Disney videos on repeat. Since the first LEGO Winnie the Pooh set was unveiled in 1999 to the hidden time capsule in the new LEGO | Disney Castle, the two brands have helped fans share the wonder of Disney storytelling by inspiring children, and adults, to reimagine fan-favourite moments through LEGO play. The new LEGO | Disney Castle is a celebration of the playful joy and creativity that the LEGO Group and Disney have inspired in families around the world over the past 24 years. The Kaleidowaves mural was today unveiled in London with Lakwena’s children, Aroko aged four and Makelo aged six, placing the last of the mural’s 220,000 LEGO bricks in place. It should include 4 pcs of brick# 92593 (Plate 1x4 with two studs), white.London - 21st June, 2023: To celebrate the launch of the new LEGO® | Disney Castle and honour 100 years of Disney, London based artist Lakwena Maciver has unveiled her latest artwork, Kaleidowaves, a 4.5m tall castle window inspired by the storytelling possibilities of the new LEGO set.

Graphics for the Nameplate sticker are also included. ![]() The instructions call out specific colors for all parts, chosen by piece cost and availability, as well as to minimize lot count for an easier part sourcing process. The Instructions for this model come as a 50-page PDF manual with a Bricklink XML parts list. The parts list still calls out which internal elements may be replaced with an arbitrary color. All pieces are from the current pallet and can also be ordered directly via Lego's Bricks & Pieces Store (last checked in Oct-2019). Rare and/or expensive pieces have been completely eliminated in this model. When I had the chance to visit New York a few years ago, the entrances with the oversized marble arch and the iluminated glass framework was a sight to remember, and I wanted to capture this in some form in this model as well.Īfter some tries, i decided to model the different levels in color (the rotary doors, beam and glass) behind a clear glass mosaic that would again emphasize the Art Deco-style of the building. On the ground level, the black and transparent-black elements resemble the different shops to be found around the building.Ī highlight that came relatively late in the design is the glass mosaic at the main entrances. There is also a stylized version of the famous gargoyles on the mid- and top-level corners. In this case the appearance is broken up with the four columns of 1x1 white and light bluish gray plates that run through almost entirely from top to bottom. ![]() The iconic top marked the starting point for this design and was an interesting challenge at that scale, but in the end I think it turned out great, as it features both a steady slope and the characteristic leveled arches.Ĭontrary to the Empire State Building with its rather homogenous facade, the Chrysler Building incorporates different patterns, contrasting colors and even automotive motifs in its facade, which results in a more differentiated look. for inspiring this build with his minimalistic rendition of the Chrysler Building, and also to Jussi Koskinen for his awesome Empire State Building that set the scale for my model to go with. This is a mid-sized recreation of the Chrysler Building from New York City in Lego.ĭespite its lesser fame when compared to the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building is a prime example of the Art Deco-style and has been my favorite skyscraper for a long time.Ĭredit goes to Harald P. ![]()
