Back in 2016, we told you about a Baylor junior who designed a 5,000-piece Lego Pat Neff Hall<\/a>. Over the course of two years, Stanton Bain had spent hours upon hours studying the walls of Pat Neff Hall, printing out pictures of aerial shots, close-ups and different angles, finding just the right blocks for accurate shape and scale, and selecting pieces worthy of representing the McLane Carillon and Judge Baylor\u2019s statue.<\/p>\n This year, Stanton — now a Baylor graduate — finally got the funding he needed to make his design a reality and have it displayed on Baylor’s campus.<\/p>\n At 23.5 inches tall on a base 36 inches wide — and now made up of more than 8,000 pieces — it\u2019s as close to scale as you can get using Lego pieces. And Stanton didn\u2019t skimp on the details, either. On the model\u2019s fa\u00e7ade you\u2019ll find the four phrases etched on the real Pat Neff Hall: \u201cWisdom is better than rubies\u201d; \u201cThe youth of a nation are the trustees of posterity\u201d; \u201cThe preservers of history are as heroic as its makers\u201d; and \u201cThy word is a lamp unto my feet.\u201d At the top are cone-shaped Lego rocket pieces acting as bells for the McLane Carillon. In the front lawn are green and gold Lego flowers. And in the corner of the lawn is a shaggy-haired brunette Lego figurine — a representation of Stanton himself.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t In total, Stanton told the Waco Tribune-Herald<\/em><\/a>, this Lego model Pat Neff Hall took between 18 and 24 hours to build — and that\u2019s after<\/em> two years of designing it. The model was displayed in Moody Memorial Library during Homecoming, then was moved to its current home in the Mayborn Museum<\/a>. Though you won\u2019t be able to play with the Lego exhibit (I know, I was bummed too), it\u2019s well worth a visit to the museum to see the masterpiece!<\/p>\n Sic \u2019em, Stanton!<\/p>\n You might also like:<\/em><\/strong> Back in 2016, we told you about a Baylor junior who designed a 5,000-piece Lego Pat Neff Hall.
