LEGO Brick Toyko Subway map
This map is very much, as close as possible in LEGO bricks, what you would actually see in the Tokyo Subway system, right down to the numbering of the stations. There is over one hundred – count them!
Creating this subway map had its fair share of challenges, but
you may be surprised to learn, size wasn’t one of them. It was
colours that presented the biggest challenge. The Tokyo Subway has thirteen lines, not counting other connected lines featured on the map, that’s thirteen separate colours that are required to build it.
One may think, LEGO has more than thirteen colours, and you
would be correct, however, not all the colours exist in all the bricks!
Designed by Ryan McNaught and Troy Walker, the finished mosaic measures a colossal 4.6m by 2.6m and took builders Troy and Claire 225 hours to build and over 31,000 LEGO pieces
