Australia’s only LEGO Certified Professional, Ryan McNaught, has had one of his creations damaged in Cairns. The large model of the Elvis fire-fighting helicopter was on display at Cairns Central Shopping Centre when it was pushed over by what is believed to be a group of juveniles. Police will be reviewing the CCTV footage of the incident.
Mr McNaught is in Cairns to build a model of the Daintree Rainforest.
I was lucky enough to see the Elvis model at the Sydney Brick Show this year, and it was a very impressive model. Hopefully it get’s rebuilt, and the vandals are made to walk barefoot across LEGO.
Bricking Around has reached out to Ryan McNaught for a statement, and will update if we hear back from him.
