Brick Convention returns to Springfield with stunning LEGO displays
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The greatest Lego fan event on earth returns to Springfield.
22News got to preview it ahead of the big weekend, with some of the greatest Lego masters there are.
Flying back into Mass Mutual Center once again–The Brick Convention, setting the stage all weekend long. A dream for builders, including one you may know, Patrick Durham from season three of Lego Masters.
Durham told 22News, 'My grandparents raised me as a little boy to go fishing in the 70s I tried to play golf im left hanbded I swing right handed so golf is not in the picture and I dont like rocking chairs so December of 2017 I began on my Lego journey by gifting myself the little start wars bb8 set.'
Durham says he spends about 65-hours finishing a piece. Each one, created without a handbook, but with his own creativity, giving each one a story.
Lego master builder Tom Jacobsen told 22News, 'We've got a bunch of local talent here showing off their local art. We've got activities for both kids and adults for building and making mosaics.'
Lego masters have all kinds of displays, some have even created something like a bow tie that you can wear. Many are still wondering if the Lego life is for them. The pros say that those feeling inspired can just get started with no experience needed.
'Go buy a 3-in-1 set,' says Durham. 'You just built three things using instructions out of those pieces in front of you, now ask yourself, what am I going to build on my own?'
Brick Convention takes place on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are available online.
