    Inauguration model still attracting crowds at Legoland

    Ten days after the inauguration of President Barack Obama, crowds

    still were lining up to see a facsimile fashioned from thousands of

    miniature plastic bricks at Legoland California.

     

     

    “I knew it was going to be a big deal, because of the importance of

    the inauguration,” said Legoland master model designer Gary McIntire.

    “I didn’t think it was going to explode quite the way it did.”

     

     

    At the Carlsbad theme park Thursday, McIntire signed autographs for

    camera-wielding visitors at the 7-foot-tall fake Capitol building and

    described his first Facebook message of the day. “It said, ‘Are you

    Gary the Lego guy from CNN?’” he said.
