Central, Hong Kong (1:265)

In 2012, Legend Bricks pulled off its first group project, a full replica of Tsim Sha Tsui district of Hong Kong. We had nothing at the time and everyone basically emptied one's bricks collection to make it work, and it did fabulously.
And then there was a dream - to make a model of the little island across the harbour, the heart of the city.

Years passed and things changed, and while it seems the time is not right yet, I am fortunate to have the bricks, the freedom and will to put together a section of Central, just the way we wanted 3 years ago.

The famous tram or 'Ding Ding' is the cheapest way to travel along the north side of Hong Kong Island. At the back is HSBC Main Building, with its iconic lion statues at the Bank's entrance.

2014 is coming to a close and I just realised that almost all of my creations during the year are replica of something in real life - Hong Kong Public Housing in 1970s, Batman, Disney Planes... and this, a scale model of an entire section of Hong Kong's Central.
It was a really serious and valuable learning experience (My research for building Public Housing in 1970s and Central had never been this extensive) and I think I had a pretty good brick year.

Due to numerous requests from my friends I have put HSBC Main Building and Old Supreme Court Building on LEGO Ideas, please support them if you like them!
