A guy named Paul Yperman spent the past two years constructing a scale model of the Star Wars Droid Control Ship from scratch, using schematics he found in a Star Wars Cross Sections book in a bookstore.
He found a software on the Internet that helped him figure out the orb in the middle and then he continued from there. 30,000 pieces later and 2 years of building, he was finished. The God sent idea was finally done, and as a result, he constructed one of the worlds most elaborate Star Wars LEGO creations. Forget the small 200 piece builds you can buy off the shelf. This one was carefully executed and took some custom ordering to fit the purpose.
This is just another amazing example of the super cool things that can be built with Lego.
steve, i didnt make it down. Have a basketball dinner tonight
this is too cool!
Lego models like this rock. Every time I'm in the Lego store with Ian (my son), I fight the urge to drop $500 on the Millennium Falcon or the Death Star kits.
You must be a fellow geek! Nice!
