That is so cool!  I plan to order one.
Like yourself, in addition to being a Clonewheel organist,  I'm very much into Lego.
(I have a 30" x 11' train layout made entirely from 100% Lego.  I'll no doubt prominently place the Hammond player in the town square giving a concert)

Again, nice job!

I've just designed a Lego Hammond B3 and Leslie in minifig scale, and it is
available to buy as a kit.
http://shop.lego.com/Product/Factory/Product.aspx?p=LFH002&mid=262b3276-e1be-4ec8-af5f-d5d95d18c8aa&CMP=EMC-BL6691080302&HQS=LFH002

The organ measures 4x8 pips and is approximately 4 bricks high. It is beige
(not all the bricks I wanted to use were available in brown) and features the
reverse preset octave on each manual (well, a black tile instead of a white
one!), a pedalboard, expression pedal, music rest, bench and even a little organ
dude to play it, complete with mirror shades and funky hat! The Leslie matches
the organ and has top and bottom louvres for that authentic sound... er... look.

The kit costs about £12 or $20 of which 100% goes to the Lego company and none
to me (gnashes teeth), but it's a fun idea and would make a great gift for
the B3 player in your life, or just a cool ornament. Instructions are not
included but can be downloaded fron the Lego website.
