After a two-year building hiatus, Turkish AFOL Metin Delikurt returns with his most ambitious creation to date – a sprawling diorama of a town beset by zombies. Featuring eight full-size buildings in varying states of decay, multiple vehicles, and dozens of zombies and survivors, its a truly epic LEGO look at a world where the dead rise.
In the past, the builder focused on historical settings, such as the age of piracy or the Old West. For this project, Metin wanted to challenge himself to explore a more modern world, and he proves every bit as adept. Buildings are close to Modular scale, but Metin sticks to earthier tones and more intricate brickwork, the better to showcase the cracks and overgrowth of a world in decline.
Boarded up windows and broken glass are especially effective in scenes of survivors barely holding on.
Metin includes humorous moments in the grim diorama, like an oblivious survivors strolling through the mess with eyes closed and headphones on, a zombie suiter wooing his corpse bride, and a zombie painter covering up some graffiti.
It’s a beautiful model that deserves to be seen in person. Unfortunately, Türkiye is a country that has yet to host any LEGO fan events, but that looks to change in 2026 when Brick Eurasia debuts in Istanbul.
