Glenn Waddingham populated his Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites model with everything from swimmers in the pool and guests on balconies to a co-worker walking to work with her signature super-sized drink
Making a realistic replica of the Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites out of 62,000 Lego pieces is impressive in its own right.
It’s an homage to the people he works with, but the jewel in the crown, for him personally, was depicting his birth parents relaxing on the balcony of room 1602 — the best room of the hotel. Waddingham spent a year and a half of his spare time researching, measuring, taking pictures and building the intricate scale model.
His project started small, with the construction of one level of the main hotel, but soon, he was consumed with what he calls his passion project. The standard Lego head has a smiling face, said Waddingham, but he wanted something different. “I wanted to find one — one with a pair of glasses — that looked like her. I went through 200 different heads to find the one I wanted,” he said. He also managed to find a dog that closely represented the one in the real sculpture.
He said a Rogers Communications representative was impressed that Waddingham portrayed the company’s most recent 5G cellular tower antenna on the roof accurately, right down to the colour.
