Adaptation of the Gorssel model, with a quick to built and adjust model (LEGO instead of plaster). Inspired many simple models of watercourses, used in workshops (Lego water models)

Advantages:
- Easy to work with
- can be changed quickly
- Reusable
- Lots of fun, especially with water
- Many opportunities for discussing use of land, especially when figurines are used, symbolic forms (serious play type workshop)
Disadvantages
- Complete rebuilding of the model possible
- Lego bricks push solutions in a certain direction (known use)
- Bricks relativey large
- Discrete levels (due to thickness of brick), smooth transitions not easy
Possible use:
- Engaging, especially children
- Very interactive
- Lego serious play (symbolic use) like use,
- Especially in combination with maps, other more refined models like the CNC routes (static) model
- Useful after an introduction about the topic, otherwise lots of fun but off-topic.
