66 large ATLAS models and a new one in China
Recently the University of Science and Technology of China in Shanghai received and built the 66th large ATLAS model worldwide (see complete list here).
Along the new model there are now also matching labels in simplified Chinese.
ALICE model 2.0
Earlier this month the second iteration of the ATLAS LEGO model was built at CERN for the time.
The construction manual for this revised version is online on the BYOPD website and this particular model was built by high-school students from Liceo Gandini, Lodi (Italy) and some ALICE summer students with the invaluable help of Johannes Nienhaus and Julia Els.

The ALICE experiment in 16.000 bricks
Last weekend, the time had finally come: after about six month of preparation, planing and design time in more or less weekly meetings, the model, built from over 16’000 LEGO pieces, was put together with real bricks for the first time. The construction took place both at University of Münster and Goethe-University Frankfurt. Here’s a few pictures. More details and soon also 3D models, construction manuals and parts lists are available on a dedicated ALICE LEGO model page.
