1 of 4. I’ve had a few requests lately for posters based on Latin word frequency, so here they are, a set of 15 colour coded posters. legonium.com/resources 2 of 2. There is quite a bit covered by the 15 posters. Here, for example, are the twenty most commonly used nouns, adjectives, adverbs and prepositions. You’ll notice that the number in each corner is their overall rank. legonium.com/resources

How do you create a Lego build of an entire country? You start with the world’s smallest county, Vatican City, which covers just over 100 acres and is roughly one-eighth the size of Manhattan’s Central Park. Images of this incredible build were released yesterday by artist Rocco Buttliere. The model has a 1:650 scale, contains c. 67,000 Lego pieces, took 500 hours in the designing and 300 hours in the building. It measures 131cm x 273cm. It has an extraordinary level of detail.

I’m sitting on a plane, so I will take my time and show it off properly. 1 of 8 The designer and builder, Rocco Buttliere, is a freelance Lego designer from Chicago, USA.
