Remarkable 5.7m-high recreation of Apollo 11. [View all]
This amazing recreation of the Saturn V rocket that launched Apollo 11 was made by Lego fan Ryan McNaught from 120,000 plastic bricks.
...
Father-of-two Mr McNaught will display his sculpture, which took 250 hours to make, at the Brickvention event in Victoria this month.
The Melbourne-based artist has populated his wonderful construction with tiny Lego astronauts, fuelling up the rocket ship, travelling in Nasa's astrovan and even stopping for lunch. A few droid stowaways are also amusingly scattered around Mr McNaught's impressively accurate rocket.
...
The astonishingly realistic model even has cutaway sections so that people can look at its workings on the inside.
...
The artist, who calls himself The Brickman, believes he 'never grew up'. The married father of twin boys was previously an IT manager and is now one of only 13 certified Lego professionals in the world.
