Mar 23 2009Epic 30,500 Piece LEGO Star Wars Ship
I know, it looks like the toy you found in your girlfriend's sock drawer, but trust me, it's not. This thing is like half that size. Thomas Benedikt went and made Admiral Ackbar's command ship Home One (not to be confused with going all the way with a lady) out of 30,500 LEGO pieces. It took 11 months to build, lays just short of 7-feet long, and cost $5,500 to complete. It even has LED lighting effects throughout (hit the jump for a picture). Good looking, Thomas. Next time I need a scale model of a Star Wars ship made I know who to go to. Or do I? Maybe I'll take my business to THIS guy. Now, I want you two to fight.
Hit the jump for a bunch more and a link to an even larger gallery.

Good looking indeed. But I like the red-white-and-blue galleon in the background better.

Damn. So is this what people with no job do? Or is this what programmers are really doing while things are "compiling"?
16. jez - March 23, 2009 1:50 PM
amazing!
17. Pew³ - March 23, 2009 2:03 PM
So when you take the time to build one of these, do you like make a room for it? Paint it dark blue/black, put little stars on the wall? Paint in some little planets?
Or does it just sit in your livingroom between the fireplace and television?
