Holmenkollbakken is the most famous ski jump in Norway, and also one of the most famous and visited landmarks and tourist attractions in this country (possibly even the most famous ski jump in the world). It's situated on top of Holmenkollen, which is a hill in Oslo, and it's very close to where I grew up, and I have also recently moved back to this area. From the top of the hill there's a great view over the city of Oslo, and there's also a ski museum underneath the ski jump. The ski jump dates back to 1892, but has been changed/rebuilt 19 times. The last rebuild was in 2011 for the Nordic World Ski Championship. My model is based on this newest edition. For more background story, see wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia....olmenkollbakken This model won me a third prize in the architecture competition at the recently held Eurobricks event in Billund. A big thank you to everyone that voted for it This is actually the third time I have made a ski jump in Lego inspired by Holmenkollbakken, but it's the first time I've tried to be true to the proportions and build it in a proper scale. A couple of pictures of the real ski jump:
