What would your school look like in LEGO?


A 12-year-old boy has built a model of his Merseyside school using 10,000 Lego bricks.
Laurence Duncan, who wants to be a structural engineer, spent 10 months recreating Merchant Taylors' Boys' School in Crosby (UK). His school was one of the first buildings that came to mind. "It seemed simple at the beginning," he said.
