Orrex, I didn't know you were an Ohio State Fan...
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A Columbus-area man has created a Lego replica of Ohio State's horseshoe-shaped football stadium, complete with a decorated archway and scoreboard made of the small blocks.

Paul Janssen used about a million Lego pieces to build the 8-foot-by-6-foot model, which has room for 6,000 Lego people.

The 42-year-old Ohio State researcher tells The Columbus Dispatch it was a challenge to create the rounded model out of the mostly rectangular blocks that fill his basement in stacked containers

1. I saw that article!
A really remarkable accomplishment. LEGO is tremendously versatile, but it can be hard to work in a consistent scale. Glad to see that Mr. Janssen has been able to do something with his huge investment!

I'm thinking it takes a special type of insanity to do that sort of thing...Same type of insanity that leads people to make elaborate chain mail suits and such...:evilgrin:
