A miniature Hobbiton, Taj Mahal and Dunedin Railway Station were among hundreds of entries at this weekend's Lego event, Brick by Brick.
The event was hosted by Lego Users Group Otago. More than 6000 visitors viewed the 100 exhibitions on display.
Dunedin student Pieter Dennison picked up the People's Choice Award for his model of the train station.
The 22-year-old started work on the piece in 2015.
While it had been a start-stop project, he confirmed it took "many hundreds" of hours to complete.
"It was fantastic and I am really ecstatic that my build has won."
Miniatures were not the only drawcard.
Cade Franklin, a member of the winning duo from the Lego Masters Australia reality television show, was a guest exhibitor.
He was impressed by the standard of the pieces and praised those taking part.
"There really are some amazing displays down here. People have travelled from all over the country to be here and that is special and shows the level of commitment from the Lego community."
The 36-year old, who is a video designer, said Lego was something everyone could enjoy.
He still remembered the first bits he played with - a pirate ship.
And yes, he still buys it, not just to build but to play with.
"My mum still buys me Lego every Christmas."
Cameron Lindsay, committee member of Lego Users Group Otago, said the event, now in its fourth year, went well.
"We have a lot of kids who come down, then their parents come along - and their grandparents, so the age group is really great."
