In 2006, a Hong Kong TV crew filmed a documentary about the passionate followings of brands like LEGO. Sean flew out and built a sculpture of the Great Wall of China using thousands of LEGO bricks, and was interviewed for the documentary. Fellow brick artist Nathan also came out to help; together, they were filmed building the Great Wall LEGO model over the course of about 90 minutes.

If you like this model, you can buy a framed gallery print or a mini-poster.

After the model was built, Sean and Nathan were each interviewed shortly about their passions for LEGO toys. The final documentary aired September 30, 2006 in Mandarin on Fuji TV in Hong Kong.

The completed model uses about 4000 LEGO elements. It's 30 inches long, 15 inches deep, and the highest peak is 8 inches tall.


Sean visited the real Great Wall in Badaling, China, (near Beijing) prior to building the model.
