Built by 12 model makers using 215,158 Lego bricks, this astonishing creation uses plastic components from the toy box, but does almost everything a real caravan can do, with electric lights, running water and even seats that fold into a bed.
The brick brilliance continues inside, with incredible details such as eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes cooking in a frying pan on the two-hob burner, a vase full of flowers on the table, toothbrushes and a tube of toothpaste by the sink, a milk carton in the fridge and even a complete chess set.
Measuring 3.6 metres long, 2.2 metres tall and weighing in at 1200kg, the project took over two months to build and more than 1000 man-hours. Layers of Lego bricks were built on top of a conventional caravan chassis, proving how strong and versatile the plastic pieces can be. Only standard off-the-shelf Lego pieces were used, with no custom-made components.
Designed to mimic a classic T@B 320 teardrop-style caravan, this unique exhibit was created two years ago by Lego building specialist Bright Bricks as part of the National Caravan Council’s Freedom to Go campaign.
