'It got slightly out of hand and became a labour of love.'

I started with Buttermere which is one of my favourite spots - it is tranquil and I love all the fells, woodland and waterfalls. The project sort of became an obsession after that and before I knew it I was working seven hours a day on it. It got slightly out of hand and became a labour of love."
He plans to continue building the model to incorporate even more of the Lake District - including iconic landmarks such as Scafell Pike and Windermere. Jon has also applied to the Arts Council in the hope of getting funding to buy more Lego bricks to complete his mammoth project. “It's all square blocks but you can see the detail in it. It looks a bit like a pixilated picture that you’ve zoomed in too far on your phone. Most of the Lego was bought in lockdown. I bought one or two sets that I’ve had to leave the in the boxes.
