Massive LEGO Mouse Guard Display at BrickCon 2015

The most impressive display we saw at this year's BrickCon was easily this Mouse Guard tribute. We chat with LEGO artist Alice Finch, who worked with the group ArchLUG to construct this incredible multi-section diorama, which consists over over 150,000 LEGO bricks.

Thanks for watching!

[@TheInflicted]

The terrain is by far the most impressive aspect of this build.

[@Pierrelilg]

Norman is such a good interviewer...

[@patrikmanni3559]

+Pierrelilg It's really great how he picks up things from his past experiences with a subject to try and ask better questions, too. Like how he phrased his question about the inside of the structure based on the answer he got in the last video.

[@Rejinx]

Love Mouse Guard! Glad to see awesome fan art

[@Theicemonkeyjr]

People respond so well to norms interviews because he asks the questions that regular interviews dont. Great job Norm.

[@AzraelCC]

Beautiful work and very enlightening explanations on the decisions involved in making the display. I love Mouse Guard, and Ms. Finch and her collaborators really did an excellent job! Thanks for featuring this, I always love your Lego content.

[@ASilentS]

Now that's a medieval castle!

[@buffgeek]

+SilentS Same guy in the other video also did this castle in this collaboration.

[@Pookias]

Dunno which came first but sounds kinda like the Redwall series.

[@swsephy]

That is very impressive. Also I like her shirt.

[@venturersunite4243]

The lady at 3:40 made me laugh. :P

[@vpamir]

@4:10 "When I'm doing my landscape, I like to have joints so that it comes apart, but I also want to conceal it." I also conceal my joints if you know what I mean :)

[@EthanfromEngland-]

+Vural Pamir I don't....I don't know what you mean...

[@EthanfromEngland-]

***** oh, yeh...imma just leave now...

[@teliots]

Her face at 5:27 "omg this noob can't even pronounce Rivendell correctly".

[@Emleung55]

The hills and cliffs look awesome!

[@Thaneii]

My college buddies invented a new game were every time she said "so" we took a shot. As a result, we got really drunk from this video.

[@baselinejumpers8597]

4:16-4:20 every drug dealer

[@AlbertoNoys]

Very very good interview, Norm!

[@nelsonchen7823]

such a thoughtful builder O. O she has a reasoning behind every decision she makes

[@Verithiell]

How is it that you have to wait till adulthood to have this much legoes?

[@kommanderkermit4874]

+Verithiell What is a single ten year old going to do with 150,000 lego bricks?

[@JogauVids]

this is so beautiful and full of details, I'd love to go to brickcon one day it's amazing ! Also it made me want to read Mouse Guard

[@Ali-Adamantium]

Mouse guard was my shit to read in elementary school

[@Chango110418]

That's legit! Thanks for sharing.

[@Babalooza]

This seems like a headache to build but thats only because I've been used to rummaging through a bin of every single lego set I've ever had.

[@fryncyaryorvjink2140]

yea I've been thinking about building an at-at with what i have but looking through all those boxes, oh god, and then 4 matching legs, I don't think I have the patience anymore. I may just buy the set

[@felixwalne3494]

AMAZING!

[@Moonchild1607]

With Lego, anything seems possible to create.

[@rob_boss]

where'd they get the mouse heads?

[@AngateWier]

+Robert Brown (Rb Artistry) www.kickstarter.com/projects/crazybricks/bricks-of-the-mouse-guard-for-your-miniature-figur/description

[@rob_boss]

I found that...went to Google...thanks!

[@TheFurriestOne]

Impressive! I liked the owl.

[@Tsumami__]

Screw LEGO, my eye immediately went to the tiny train

[@TheProjectOverload]

Cool video. Please make more topical videos like this in addition to regular programming.

[@SamSitar]

legos are very versatile these days.

[@whatsit50]

so awesome

[@caseythimm5522]

That display is 1024 studs long.... Wow.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Ey my poster of the toolbox finally came in!

[@gbondy]

Great interview, and interesting project

[@Jasonwolf1495]

And they say legos are just toys for kids.

[@NYManChild]

Love it. Mouse guard needs more press

[@RBTV4600]

I was there! I wish I had gotten to see Norm...

[@omarcardoso5208]

This woman must have a lot of money to build huge lego mocs WOW!!!!!!!

[@danieldalton8181]

89th view and my first time looking at this channel pretty much, not to bad.

[@jeanbarque9918]

1:07 these colors.. are they lego? I reconize the sand green but this yellow and this brown..

[@LarsOle89]

Turns out these books are hard to find and get to Norway for a ok price.. Does anyone know if they will come back in stock at..say..amazon ever? :-)

[@Billo1281]

Nice!

[@isegrim1978]

I would love to build that owl 1:01

[@dexskittles5533]

I stepped on a Lego once.

[@Moonchild1607]

+DexSkittles That moment you realize the quality of that piece of plastic is why it hurts so much. ;D

[@dexskittles5533]

I never realized that... And I didnt say it hurt. gawd.

[@Moonchild1607]

DexSkittles O geez! I'm sincerely, sorry to have troubled you.

[@dexskittles5533]

I didnt say it, but it did hurt. I was cut deeper than any lego ever cut me before :(

[@rcbif101]

+DexSkittles - I stepped on my PILE of Legos once.

[@josephcovell]

Where do you find the mouse lego figures?

[@EmiliospakmoErKul]

villaaaaaaaaage

[@XSpamDragonX]

6:10 That girl staring at the camera...

[@jerryjoe88]

Which color Lego tastes the best?

[@Babalooza]

+Jerry Joe The translucent green hands down.

[@CtrlAltPhreak]

+Babalooza Agreed.

[@kommanderkermit4874]

+CtrlAltPhreak I kinda like Classic Red but that's just me

[@CtrlAltPhreak]

Jaune Arc it was a toss up between that and clear green. They're both scrumptious.

[@werewulf22]

reminds me of Redwall

[@danielhert5045]

I was there

[@wankertosseroath]

She seems like she would own 5 mice and 10 cats

[@Rejinx]

That is tough odds for those five mice.

[@wankertosseroath]

+Rejinx She's a tough woman

[@nyrangersfan6325]

Rivendale? Really? It's Rivendell!!!!

[@kaisuhina8024]

[@Von_Langstein]

Redwall* my bad

[@tcshook13]

[@ExopMan]

+Zac Jones Congrats

[@WickedSpade]

now... what do you do with it once it's built... LEGO is genius. they invented a toy that's fun to play with...endless possibilities. but once you build something..... that's it... you can't do anything with it.. it just sits there. stupid. and people spend thousands on Lego

[@draky112]

why not just play minecraft, sure is a lot easier and faster :^)

[@caseythimm5522]

+Juul Dh And cheaper. :P

[@SirJamesIGamerfuzion]

+Juul Dh Because a virtual creation is not as exciting as the real thing

[@draky112]

its both a work of art, imagination should be the limit not a bunch op bricks :P

[@draky112]

that said, drawing/architecture is best ;)

[@malkavian5]

Where do they get the mice head from?

[@chrthiel]

+malkavian5 From Crazybricks I'd guess crazybricks.bigcartel.com/product/complete-set-of-six-mouse-guard-custom-minifigures-preorder
