Iconic photographs recreated in Lego

Can't really describe it better than that. Just go look. The Tiananmen pic is just...

Thanks for that - nicely done images there. The use of the Empire symbol on the Tiananmen Square tanks is good.

The "vietnam execution" one made me gasp "oh No!" aloud.

In two minds about that one (and the other death ones) to be honest....

Brilliant but also disturbing in some cases. The photos of the Lego are brilliant, too.

The bag's in the wrong hand on the Tianemen Square setup - seems like a poor mistake to make considering the level of accuracy elsewhere.

I don't really know what to think. Are we not mocking these events by recreating them in lego, resplendant in smiling faces and home-made tanks?
Or is that the point, that they're over and we can reflect on them in different ways? Whatever, they're pretty cool.

Absolutely brilliant.

Although the smiling faces are pretty scary.
