I see what they mean by detail and a possible movie prop. Planning it must have been as meticulous as assembling it.

It's amazing what you can do with legos. My understanding is that LEGO has a program where you can send them a drawing and (for a price of course) they'll send you back a lego kit and instructions to build it. The most complicated one I've put together was a working mock up of a ballistic missle sub. it was suprisingly easy, if you followed the instructions

That sucker is huge!

I had heard that, too, John. It would be cool to try. How expensive was it?

Don't know. Just happened across a story in a magazine about it sometime back. Can't even remember how long ago so I don't know if the program is still offered. Sorry.
