Guardian Building Reproduction Out of Legos

[Gistok]

Builder Jim Garrett of Royal Oak has a passion for Detroit buildings [[don't we all... well most of us...) And so he converts that passion into 3 dimensions, by building them out of LEGO bricks. Jim has spent 10s of thousands on his great LEGO creations of Detroit's building heritage, and among AFOLs [[Adult Fans of LEGO) he's garnered the nickname "DecoJim".

Here's many of his great Detroit building designs....

And FYI... there's over 300,000 adult fans of LEGO worldwide now... just 15 years ago there were fewer than a 1,000. The number doubles every few years.

There's an adult club called MichiLug [[which I'm not a member of)... Michigan LEGO User Group... that put on annual displays, mainly at The Henry Ford and The Max. I met the members back in 2007 at the NMRA [[North American Model Railway Association) show at Cobo, where many of Jim Garretts earlier buildings were on display.
