Lego meets sci-fi! Well, most of us must have made a zillion attempts as kids to create spaceships out of our Lego blocks. But none like the effort of Thomas Benedikt. The man has created a stunning Lego model of the Mon Calamari flagship from Return of the Jedi. Facts reveal that some 30,500 bricks were used which translate into a price of $5,500.
Apparently, the 7-foot long structure was created to match the official Lego Star Destroyer, which has been made from some 3,104 pieces. Thomas reveals that his flagship was a tough endeavor because of the difficulty of its surfaces and the lack of right angles. A lot of building techniques were consulted before he decided to use studs joined by hinges.
