Lego landscapes and a balloon Monkey King loom large at Hong Kong games fair
Comics, cosplay and creativity shine on opening day of Ani-Com & Games Hong Kong
This year’s ani-com fair has a particular Hong Kong flavour, with a million Lego pieces yielding landscapes of Central and Chek Lap Kok airport, and a two-metre Monkey King made of balloons.
The Lego landscapes measure at least four metres long and illustrate past and present versions of Central and the international airport in great detail. There are even a dozen planes, the largest a one-metre 747 made up of 20,000 Lego pieces.
The youngster spent two weeks assembling the display, which includes four rooms and dozens of firemen. But he was most proud of the tuition centre room, which includes a Lego blackboard and computer.
“The hardest part was figuring how to transform an illustration into a life-like statue,” team member Wayne Chan Kit-wai, 24, said.
