We featured a number of Lego sculptures here on Geeky Gadgets, but this has to be one of the best we’ve seen. Constructed by Matt De Lanoy, this Futurama Lego world is a huge 5 x 7 ft in size and took over two years to complete.
The Futurama world started small and has developed over the years and has just been shown in Brickworld 2010.
Lanoy started with the Planet Express and major characters back in February 2008, then in December 2009 he expanded the buildings to include the sub pen, and surrounding area.
The Journey of Creation
Matt De Lanoy’s journey in creating this intricate Lego world is nothing short of inspiring. Starting with the iconic Planet Express building and the main characters such as Fry, Leela, and Bender, Lanoy meticulously crafted each piece to capture the essence of the beloved animated series. His dedication to detail is evident in the way he has replicated the unique architectural style and vibrant colors of the Futurama universe.
As the project progressed, Lanoy didn’t just stop at the main building. He expanded the world to include other significant locations from the series. By December 2009, the Lego world had grown to feature the sub pen and the surrounding areas, adding layers of complexity and realism to the model. Each addition required careful planning and execution, showcasing Lanoy’s passion and commitment to his craft.
Exhibition and Recognition
The culmination of Lanoy’s hard work was showcased at Brickworld 2010, where the Futurama Lego world received widespread acclaim. Brickworld is a premier Lego convention that attracts enthusiasts from around the globe, making it the perfect platform for Lanoy to display his masterpiece. The attention to detail and the sheer scale of the project left attendees in awe, earning Lanoy a well-deserved place among the top Lego artists.
The recognition didn’t stop there. Lanoy’s work has been featured on various platforms, including Cnet, further cementing his reputation as a talented Lego artist. His ability to bring the whimsical world of Futurama to life using Lego bricks is a testament to his creativity and skill.
