Living in a Lego wonderland: Family build Christmas-themed church ... with 250,000 bricks (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1093511/Living-Lego-wonderland-Family-build-Christmas-themed-church---250-000-bricks.html)
A family of Lego addicts with a collection of half a million bricks have revealed their latest festive model - a giant 250,000 piece Christmas church worth £10,000.
The Addis family took seven painstaking weeks to piece together the 7ft-high and 5ft-wide 100kg replica which now takes pride of place in their lounge.
Mike Addis, 50, and wife Catherine Weightman, 45, both Lego fanatics since childhood, each spent 170 hours building their pride and joy piece by piece.
Secondary school economics teacher Mr Addis based the design on All Saints Church in Earls Barton, Northamptonshire, a church he visited in his childhood.
