Go behind the scenes with our incredible team of LEGOLAND® Master Model Builders, who work around the clock to bring your favourite LEGO® creations to life, including worlds like MINILAND USA, park-wide models and other seasonal builds.
Behind the Bricks: How LEGOLAND® Creates its LEGO® Worlds
At LEGOLAND® Florida Resort, every model starts with a detailed 3D design, which acts as a blueprint for the build. Our Master Builders then carefully assemble the creation brick-by-brick, using specialized techniques to ensure stability and precision. Large models are often built in sections, which are later joined together to form the final scene.
| Phase | Stage Name | Description & Core Techniques | Typical Timeline |
| 1 | 3D Digital Mock-up | Designing the model digitally to serve as a structurally sound blueprint. | Variable (Days to Weeks) |
| 2 | Sectional Assembly | Master Builders construct large models brick-by-brick in distinct, manageable sections. | Weeks to Months |
| 3 | Engineering & Joining | Individual sections are structurally reinforced and joined together to form the final permanent structure. | Days |
