Universe of films about "Star Wars" - this is one of the most popular themes for creating new construction kits Lego … And a group of Czech enthusiasts built from this material fighter from the above-mentioned science fiction film, and, moreover, in full size.
While some authors create miniatures based on the Star Wars universe, others, like, for example, the workers of the LEGO store in the Czech city of Kladno, on the contrary, suffer from gigantomania (or do not suffer, but enjoy it). An example of this is the huge Star Wars fighter jet recently unveiled in Times Square in New York.
The length of this "toy" is 13.1 meters, the height is 3.35, and the wingspan is 13.44. As a result, it turns out that this object has dimensions similar to the original, and sometimes it seems that Luke Skywalker is about to jump out of it, having just destroyed the Death Star.
It took Czech enthusiasts about 5,335,200 (more than 5 million) LEGO elements to create this toy fighter, and 17,336 man-hours of work took them to construct the object. It is not said, however, whether this was done during working hours or in the evenings after its end.
The weight of this LEGO fighter was almost 21 tons (this includes the steel frame for the rigidity of the structure, on the basis of which this object was assembled).
Now the record-breaking LEGO fighter is on display in a special pavilion in Times Square in downtown New York, but it will soon be moving to California for the Legoland California theme park.
