My absolute favourite model on display at Shildon Brick Show this week was Mark Danforth’s mosaic of the Japanese kanji characters for “train”. Beautifully done, and I love the tiny trains that form the background! #lego #legoart #shildonbrickshow #legomosaic #legomodels #legotrains

The trophy for Most Death Star Built at Shildon Brick Show 2025 went to Matt Kirby and Jack Horner who built 10 bags out of 80+ of the Death Star in just one hour (even if they did get a sticker upside down!).
