You've taken the time for such nonsense like Charlie Sheen, Obama visiting Germany and the Rugby world cup final... but not the Japanese Tsunami, Earthquakes and nuclear plant explosions which killed over 10,000. Nice work.

Fabulous!

Lots of people seem to have been inspired by the gallery, so just for fun we've set up a group for the news in Lego too for more creations to be shared

Awesome. I am struggling to imagine the sort of twisted soul who would have built a Lego diorama of the Japanese tsunami??

I saw this gallery, and I actually ran a blog (in French, but pictures are in English too :lol: ) during this year, presenting news in LEGO (just as in your gallery)… There are 29 articles in all for 2011 events, including Kate and William's wedding, Rio-Paris investigations, Steve Jobs' death, the financial crisis, Roland Garros etc.
I let you enjoy ! : lactuenlego.over-blog.com/
And congratulations for this gallery, I am a great fan of LEGO and some pictures are breathtaking !
Good year's end to all !
