Photos: Roswell father and son build Lego cityscape

Arts and Culture

Harry Nijenkamp (right) and his 19-year-old son Austin set up a model cityscape June 26, 2014 at the Aurora Cineplex in Roswell built with hundreds of thousands of Legos. The display is only a portion of the full city, which they built out of millions of Legos in a room in their home.

Harry Nijenkamp became interested in Legos as a child, and was reintroduced to them when his son Austin took an interest. Things "got out of control," Nijenkamp said.

Austin Nijenkamp shows off a Lego model of the ambulance used in the Ghostbusters movies.

Austin Nijenkamp puts some finishing touches on the display, which is near completion.

Harry Nijenkamp makes some adjustments to the display.

The display includes a Dragon Con parade with sci-fi characters.

The tallest buildings in the display tower over Harry Nijenkamp.
