Vintage Lego Topographical Map

Thanks for all of your support so far :)

While I've had many requests to make a LEGO map of China, I didn't have time to get one designed in time for the Chinese New Year, so I hope this re-imagining of the UK map in the style of Chinese New Year will do instead :) 

新年快乐 / 新年快樂

Thank you for helping the Vintage LEGO Topographical Map reach 2000 supporters! 

In my last update, I mentioned that I was thinking about adding new map designs to this submission. I have since received a huge number of suggestions for new maps I could add. So many in fact, that I started a LEGO Maps Facebook group to track suggestions and share LEGO map ideas. 

If you'd like to join and add your own suggestion, just click here

The good news is that I have already started to work on the next map design. If you'd like to see a sneak preview, you can follow my progress on Instagram and Twitter

If you already follow me on social media, you'll also know that I like to post fun rebuilds of the LEGO map in different styles. Here's a winter map I made when it recently snowed across the UK.

I have more designs like this that I'll be releasing soon, including for the upcoming Chinese New Year and 6 Nations rugby tournament. Keep an eye out on social media and I'll also be updating this submission more regularly. 

Thanks once again for all of your support so far. And please remember to share this as much as you can to help get it to 10,000 supporters and having a chance at becoming a real LEGO set.

We've just reached 1000 supporters! 

Thanks to everyone who has supported, shared and left comments, I'm pleased to see that there are so many other LEGO map fans :) 
We're 10% of the way there, so please do share with anyone you think would be interested in helping us get to 10k!

I have two major updates planned for 2021. The first is that I will be building the map for real using Bricklink, I'll keep everyone posted on how that goes. 

The second is that I've been reading everyone's feedback, and the most popular suggestion is to to build maps for different places (like other countries or even fictional maps), not just the UK. 

So I'm thinking of updating the submission in future to make it more of a 'map building kit', where the map of the UK would be one of the different builds that could be made. But before I can do that, I need to know what the other maps should be, and I want to hear what YOU think.  

What other maps would you like to see included as part of a 'map building kit'? Your home country? A fictional map? 

Let me know in the comments section and I'll use your feedback to plan my next map, which I'll update here :)
