The Large Scale Models - These are models not part of miniland which I feel are really impressive...

Statue of Chief Sitting Bull
One seriously cool model! This is apparently made of 1.4 million bricks, and took over 2 years to build by its sculptor, Bjorn Ricter. The detail on the face is absolutely amazing, the curves look really accurate. One minor complaint - the detail on the rest of the body is a little poorer - but still really good.

You can find it above the Mine Train in LEGOREDO.

Mount Rushmore Heads
The four heads of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevolt and Abraham Lincoln are built into a rock face near LEGOREDO.

A similar construction is being built for Legoland California, but that one is slightly more sophisticated, with blinking eyes and technic men cleaning Washington's ear with a giant cotton bud!

The Big Brown Mountain Bear!
You can find this model as a part of the LEGO Canoe ride in LEGOREDO. It's a great model, but they must of had to use an awfully large number of brown bricks to build it.

Once again, I find it a shame that only those who go on this ride actually get to see the model.

Dragon in the Moat
This dragon lurks around in Castleland, more specifically, in the moat next to the bridge.

It features smoke and (I think) noises. It is quite similar to the crocodiles in the moat at Windsor. I wonder where they got all of those green bricks from.

Adventurers Band
The Adventurers Band play, when they feel like it, near the reastaurant in Adventure Land. The models of these Spanish / Mexican style people are really cool, and they move with the help of animatronics.

Check out those stylish hats!

Safari Elephant
There are loads of great models on the safari, but the elephant deserves a particular mention. The realistic curves and fantastically life-like design of the elephant makes it one of my favourite models in the park.

This is also one of the largest which is standing on the ground.

The White House
This absolutely fantastic model of the USA's White House is to be found on the Family Boat Ride which, thankfully, everybody can go on, so everbody can see it. All the windows and lamps are detailed really well.

It seems to me that many models at California are just copies of those at Billund, upgraded a bit. Both this model and the Presidents' heads come under this catagory.

Apologies for the odd colour, really, it's white.

The Wat Phra Keo Temple in Bangkok
This temple supposidly houses the Emerald Buddha, a famous Buddhist treasure had of jade, with robes changed annually by the Thai King.

In Legoland, you can find it built of 340,000 bricks as an attraction on the Family Boat Ride. This absolutely stunning model is impossible to miss, and is a great source of inspiration. The Boat trip would be worth it if this was the only model to be seen!

Unknown Name...
This is a great model, but it don't really know what it is. To me, it looks like some sort of lost temple from one of the Indiana movies, but that's about the best I can manage.

This, however, doesn't stop it from being a great model.

There are loads of other great models in the park, and their main reason for exclusion is the fact that I have no picture of them!
