The couple spent 320 hours assembling a huge booth from Lego (6 photos + 1 video)

An elderly couple built a life-size Lego phone booth in 320 hours. They have been making similar Lego sculptures for 30 years to please their grandchildren before the holidays. Cool hobby!





A married couple from the UK, 60-year-old Catherine and 65-year-old Mike, live in the small town of Huntingdon - and love Lego. The couple recently unveiled their giant creation: a life-size phone booth made entirely from Lego pieces. They assembled the booth for two months, about four hours a day - it took them half a million parts and 320 hours. Now the 2.5 meter high booth flaunts in the living room of their house.



In addition to the booth, they assembled a telephone, inscriptions, and even a book and a fox from Lego. This is not the first work of this creative couple: it has already become a tradition for them to make huge Lego sculptures for Christmas for their grandchildren. They started collecting such creations 30 years ago. During this time they built a Lego replica of the old London Bridge, a life-size polar bear and a two-metre high Victorian dolls' house. When the holiday season ends, the family removes the sculptures.

"It's like a Christmas decoration for us - after the holidays we put everything away. Taking the sculpture apart is also a difficult process and takes a lot of time. We have to destroy it first and then put the parts in boxes," says Katherine.





According to the couple, the most difficult part of the construction was making the roof of the phone booth and the fox because they are made of different parts.

"Usually people come into our house and think it's part of the living room, but then they realize what we've done. The booth looks very realistic considering it's Lego," says family patriarch Mike.
