2012 Olympics Pool Made From Legos

With the 2012 Summer Olympics in full swing, you're probably glued to your TV screen — or the computer screen if you find NBC's delayed telecast unacceptable. But take your eyes off the tube for a bit and treat yourself to this amusing gallery of Lego Olympians swimming in a blocky Lego pool.

Artist Gary Davis created this miniature replica of London's Aquatic Center, the 2012 Olympics' venue for swimming, diving and synchronized swimming.

In fact, when Tecca got in touch with Davis, he said he was going to tweak the replica to be even more like the real center. The image you see in the first slide is the enhanced version of his original creation. The small-scale replica of the Aquatics Center is currently on display at the Lego store in Stratford, London, located next to the Olympic Park.
