4,867 Pieces, 2 Feet Tall, Most Detailed Design Yet


A LEGO Ninjango City model? NO. THE LEGO Ninajgo City. Well, at least the interesting bits that can be economically manufactured and fit economically in a box. The name may be slightly misleading, but the kit is no less impressive. Continuing his penchant for creating amazing LEGO build videos, YouTube user Bart van Dijk has another impressive stop motion video for the third largest LEGO model to date.

LEGO Ninjago City, is composed of 4,867 pieces, has a 24” (63cm) high, 12” (31cm) wide and 16” (42cm) deep footprint and features a slice of plastic life from the upcoming LEGO Ninjago Movie. Third only to the 5195-piece Millennium Falcon and the 5922-piece Taj Majal, this gigantic vertical building has more interactive parts than the previous two models combined and a build time of 7 hours 30 minutes.

Using some of the smoothest stop motion animation your eyes will ever see, Bart details each layer of the city as he builds it.

The first level consists of a series of shops located near a body of water. As a boat sails through the canals, you can see the little yellow people go about their lives, blissfully unaware of their creator. The ground floor also houses a taxi stand with a removable telephone, just in case Uber doesn’t have a boat driver on hand.

The second level features a commercial district, and includes moveable elements like a poster changing display, crab-grilling oven, and a working ATM machine. Bart even goes the extra mile to create a few scenes where the LEGO folk interact with the objects, complete with sound effects!

The highest tier of the model has a sushi bar (complete with a revolving sushi belt), radio tower, and an apartment for a LEGO person to rest in once they’re full of raw fish. The apartment can also be seen in the upcoming movie, and houses one of the titular Ninjago members.

If you want to see more fluid LEGO stop motion videos, Bart van Dijk’s YouTube channel has all this and more.

Winston Peters accused of 'race-baiting' attack on Chinese air crew

New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is being accused of "race-baiting" over an attack on Chinese airline crew moving into a former special housing area that was designed to help solve Auckland's housing crisis . In a statement headed " Mt Albert state housing land now in Chinese hands", Peters said some of the former Housing NZ land at 98-130 Haverstock Rd in Sandringham "went to China Southern Airlines people from China and not to ease the housing shortage for Auckland residents". He attached a photo showing a banner in front of a house saying in Chinese and English: "Warmly welcome the leadership from Aviation Services Department to China Southern Airlines Crew Apartment in Auckland, New Zealand." The property was given Special Housing Area status in May 2014, with a requirement 10 per cent of homes must be "affordable. These areas were disestablished when the new Auckland Unitary Plan came into force last Septe...

Atlanta time travel made possible through photo collection

Atlanta is a city of change, with construction constantly reshaping the urban realm. Buildings rise, buildings fall, and as the population of the city grows, so too has the skyline. Now, RentCafe has assembled 10 amazing, interactive “then-and-now” photos to highlight how Atlanta has been reshaped over the last 150 years. While some scenes are hardly recognizable, others illustrate how the city has actually saved some of its oldest structures. Off to the visual journey: ^ The first view is of Margaret Mitchell Square at the intersection of Peachtree and Forsyth Streets in the heart of downtown. The Candler Building in the background still stands today and is being converted into a hotel, while the narrow tower in the foreground of the 1938 image was reduced to just three stories to prevent its collapse during construction of Peachtree Center MARTA Station , which sits below the site. ^ Nothing remains today from this view of Whitehall Street in 1864. Now known as Peachtree, the road...

Questions on immigration, race follow Trump to Arizona - 3TV

By JULIE BYKOWICZ Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- Trying to recapture the Republican fervor that helped put him in office, President Donald Trump travels to Yuma, Arizona, on Tuesday to visit the nation's southern border and to Phoenix to rally thousands of supporters in a state where he's trashed both Republican senators.
