Building history
McCOOK Neb. — A fresh and engaging exhibit has recently opened at the Museum on the High Plains, featuring a remarkable collection of Lego creations crafted by four talented local young men.
Jackson Dellevoet, Cole Graham, Van Keslin, and Colby Evans, who all graduated from McCook High School last year, have come together to share their passion for Lego building with the community.
The opportunity to display their work arose when a member of the museum board, and his boss, asked Dellevoet about organizing the exhibit.
“Of course, I said yes,” Dellevoet recalled, adding that he quickly enlisted his friends to join in on the project.
Among the stunning displays is an impressive 9,000-piece model of the Titanic, meticulously assembled by Dellevoet over nearly 80 hours spread across several months. Built to historic proportions at a scale of 1:200, this intricate creation captures the grandeur of the legendary ship.
In addition to the Titanic, the exhibit features several other captivating Lego sets, including a large 1,771-piece Yoda from the Star Wars franchise, a Batmobile, and various creations from the Lego Botanical and Succulent collections.
This exciting showcase highlights the creativity and dedication of these young builders, making it a must-see attraction for Lego enthusiasts and history buffs of all ages.
