Sébastien Cuomo with his creation.

Sébastien Cuomo didn't expect the 3000 notifications that animated his phone when he posted a photo of his latest LEGO build on Facebook. Although countless iconic buildings have been replicated in plastic and in miniature thanks to the versatility of LEGO, comparatively few landscapes have been built brick by brick.

Amazing. Small point - the angled tooth of the Dent Blanche? Did you mean the Aig Blanche de Peuterey?

Yeah two stories about LEGO in under two weeks! We must be heading into lockdown again...

Dent du Géant, of course. Not sure why Blanche came out. Too many teeth!

Do ever get that thing where everyone thinks something is brilliant and you just don't get it at all but you don't want to say something because all your friends like it and you can see how much joy they get from it so you don't want to taint it?  Y'know, like David Bowie?

I would love to see something similar for other mountain ranges or areas. Fitzroy and Cerro Torre would be my pick.

I do. But I keep quiet, and don't make snide comments about 'do you ever get that thing'...
