![]() Vietnamese man recreates Hanoi’s street scenes with LEGO Hoang and his LEGO models also made headlines on Reutersearlier this week, and from what he told the international news site, he’s currently building 10 large-scale LEGO models to display in an exhibition. To make it, he had to use pieces from several other LEGO figures: horse saddles and mammoth trunks were arranged to form the tree’s roots and branches, ladybug wings and cherries removed from their original figures to create the flowers, and so on. Indeed, only thanks to a picture shared by Hoang in which he breaks down the tree can we grasp the true extent of how much dedication and creativity the man has poured into this model. ![]() Earlier this month, the 31-year-old man won the runner-up prize in a contest held by Brickset – a global community of LEGO players – thanks to his model of a bonsai tree growing on an apparently levitating rock. Given how amazing his works are, it comes as no surprise that Hoang is getting recognized by the global community. Hoang’s LEGO model of a train going through a street in Hanoi Image credit: in the room includes old school wooden chairs and tables, a rotary phone and an old TV, and a tea set with the iconic thermoflask that Vietnamese grandpas love using to brew their tea. Here, we can see a typical vintage Hanoi room featuring timeworn yellow walls and red-tiled flooring, equipped with a branch of cherry blossoms and a kumquat tree – the two plants that every northern Vietnamese family displays in their house during Tết – on either side. Image credit: piece worth mentioning is a recreation of a typical 1990s household during Tết, or the Lunar New Year celebration. The design appears to have been modeled in the likeness of the Cổ Vũ Temple on Hàng Gai Street of the Hanoi Old Quarter, an ornate building that captures the attention of any passerby. Image credit: course, rather than paint and ink, the entire “painting” is made from LEGO bricks and weighs approximately 15KG. On one side of the temple, a banyan tree grows into its timeworn walls, whereas on the other side is a humble streetside tea stall.Ĭổ Vũ Temple, the real-life inspiration of Hoang’s work One of the most impressive models that Hoang recently completed is an apparent “painting” of an ancient Hanoi temple, with curved tiled roofs often seen in Vietnamese religious buildings and wooden door nestled between two intricately carved pillars. It is clear that many of his works are inspired by traditional Vietnamese buildings often seen on the streets of Hanoi. Image credit: man in question is Hoang Dang, an industrial designer and LEGO enthusiast currently living in Hanoi, Vietnam. Incredibly realistic recreations of Hanoi temples and houses Just last month, a Vietnamese man from Saigon was featured on the official fan page of LEGO thanks to his amazingly detailed LEGO models of Tết dishes, and now, another man from Hanoi is also receiving global attention for his impressive LEGO recreations of Hanoi buildings, from ancient temples to vintage shops and households. Indeed, we’ve all seen on multiple occasions what amazing things LEGO enthusiasts can create with love and dedication to the craft. LEGO is one of the most popular toy brands in the world, enthralling millions of kids and adults alike thanks to its virtually limitless room for creativity.
