Chicago Finalist Are Chosen!

LEGOLAND California has 4 new Finalists for its MODEL BUILDER SEARCH!

Click HERE to see the Pics of the 4 Chicago Finalists!

Announcing - The Finalists:
Anderson Grubb
Arthur Gugick
Sarah Hall
Ryan Ziegelbauer

Anderson competed in San Franciso and really almost could have made it there with his red bird. This time he went for a sword with a skull through it. (Kind of reminds me of Norbert's sword Who you can vote in as a Finalist HERE! If I recall from chatting with him as he happily built away in the last spot in San Fran MBS... he works for a Senator! He said his parents would kill him if he threw away the career he paid for in college on a low-paying artistic career but he threw together one of the nicest birds I've seen on the tour in SF and I let him know it was great. Hopefully that inspired him to make his way to Chicago because HE MADE IT!




Arthur showed up with a killer portfolio showcasing a real knack for miniature architectural models in minifig scale. Impressive events and PR stuff in his portfolio, too - Lord knows we do plenty of that! You can check out his LEGO portfolio HERE

is there more? Google him, you'll see!




Sarah Hall is one of 2 Female Finalists - other is Mandy Jouan (thank goodness - we needed some girls) She and Mandy have a lot in common with their degrees in the art field, a diverse array of artistic skills and talents and really cute LEGO Models. I love Sarahs Mermaid!


Ryan, made a pirate face with a knife between his teeth - clever idea! I didn't get a look at his resume, yet, but it was quite sculptural! Good Job!
