Euromap

On the last evening of the LEGO Fan Weekend 2009 in Skaerbaek Bruno Kurth and I sat together and built one of the Architecture sets. This led to the idea, to build other buildings in this style. At the same time the plan was born to embed these buildings into an Europe-relief. After several months of planning, we could start in April 2010 with designing and in June with building. At the same time we obtained much building-support from many other European Lego fans!

Number of bricks: ca. 53.500 (only relief)

Area: 480 studs x 480 studs (3,84 m x 3,84 m)

Number of studs: 230.400 studs in the base area plus 453.026 studs additional

Time: April till September 2010

Building Stage

The relief was built by Vanessa Graf, Tanja Kusserow-Kurth, Torsten Scheer, Bruno Kurth and Tobias Reichling:
