Lego?

[Waynester]

Anyone build any big lego models?
My 9 year old loves his lego & making models from his imagination..(when he's not on his PS!)

Anyway, i thought that this was quite impressive!
Are these models one offs or can you in theory build one yourself?

6 years? Seems a very long time to build that. The guys as Lego Land can build stiff far quicker and larger...

But then they have an almost infinite supply of Lego lying around that they don't have to pay for.

These are the largest models I've built, sadly I lack the imagination to do a scratch build. These have over 3000 pieces in each

Did anyone see the recent Mythbusters episode with the lego ball? A classic
