The complex curves and concrete panels of Dundee's V&A Museum have been recreated in Lego.

Dundee father Bryan McNicoll spent six weeks building the impressive replica of Kengo Kuma's design using his sons' Lego, as well as sourcing specialist pieces.

The model museum includes around 3000 bricks but only cost a fraction of the £80m building.

McNicoll said: "There's a lot of different curves, bits that are sticking out, so it's not a traditional model you would build so it was really quite fiddly and I had to use really thin bricks to give the type of effect of the cladding.

"The biggest help was the Waterfront App you can download on your phone and it has all the 3D models of the buildings including the V&A.

"That was really helpful because I could look at the museum from every angle so that helped me build it.

"That was like the blue print. Without that I think I would of struggled."

Peter Nurick from the V&A Dundee said: "I am hugely impressed by this Lego version of V&A Dundee.

"The model amazingly captures the complex curves and structure of the unique building.

"Over 2500 individual cast planks have been attached to the outside, not dissimilar to the small plastic bricks that have been used in this model."

The new V&A, which will be the only one of its kind in the world outside London, will open its doors on Saturday, September 15.
