How many lego people does it seat?
Wow. I got these in an email from my mom. This puts a whole other spin on the 'megachurch' discussion.
It is called the Abston Church of Christ, made by a computer programmer named Amy Hughes. (My sister's name is Amy. And my brother is a computer programmer & he used to make really amazing legos, too. I wonder it there is a connection?)
A few quick facts about this lego mega church:
How big is it?
About 7 feet by 5 1/2 feet by 30 inches
(2.2 m x 1.7 m x .76 m)
How many pieces of LEGO to build it?
more than 75,000
How many LEGO people does it seat?
1372
How many windows?
3976
It features a balcony, a Narthex, stairs to the balcony, restrooms, coat rooms, several mosaics a nave, a baptistry, an altar, a crucifix (stoking the heresy - "Jesus isn't white, is he?"), a pulpit and an elaborate pipe organ. It even has a special guest list. It took about a year and a half of planning, building and photographing.
It even has the text of a sermon "being given."
