This past weekend we got to go and meet the one and only official Master Lego Model Builder. They have Master Lego Designers, too. This guy does designs also, but primarily he is sent out by the Lego company to these events to build intricate lego sculptures. The project he was working on that day was building an 8ft tall R2-D2 with the help of all the children who came.
Each child was given instructions to build one or more giant lego bricks.
As seen above... 
Then they gave the "big brick" to the builder and he added it to the R2-D2.
You can see the small model of the R2-D2 that he is copying in picture to his right (to our left as you look at the picture).
This guy was totally cool and talked to the people as he built and even posed for a picture for us. You would think that being a Model Builder would be a kid's dream, and for many it is, but this guy did mention that most people don't stick with it because Lego doesn't pay that well. That's too bad because I know one little boy who would see it as his dream job. I guess it's one of those jobs where you do it because you love it!
