Lego Space Shuttle

Posted by Miss Cellania in Lego on April 3, 2009 at 12:13 pm



No, this is not a real space shuttle. It’s made of Lego bricks!

Two Japanese LEGOsmiths used a whopping 65,000 bricks and 1,590 man hours to complete the stunning diorama, which even simulates a launch with flashing lights under the boosters and a vocal countdown. The only thing it doesn’t do is lift off.

Part of the “Nasu Space Center,” it appeared as a scene in Nasu Highland Park, an amusement park in Japan.

    The incredible detailed things people create with Lego never ceases to amaze me.

    Make sure all the Legos are on the bottom.

    I love it in the video- there are lego people standing around next to the shuttle as it "launches."
