The Fort Worth Stockyards is an iconic Texas landmark, and it's about time we get it in LEGO form.

William Hicks is a 9-year-old from Grapevine who recently built the Fort Worth Stockyards to win LEGO's North American Mini Master Builder competition!


According to FOX 4, the piece took more than 45 hours and 6,000 LEGO bricks to build.  Hicks beat out 12 other contestants, who were all tasked with creating something to represent where they are from.

Hicks said, "! built the Fort Worth Stockyards and I'm very proud of my movement.  I have a horse that veers up and down and a working oil derrick and a mini figure that runs away."

Hicks was presented with a confetti shower and a ceremonial LEGO brick dump at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center at Grapevine Mills to celebrate his victory.
