Building enthusiast Chris Melby has built a replica model of the U.S.S. Enterprise completely out of LEGO bricks. Some 18,000 pieces, in fact.
The ship is 68 inches long, 29 inches wide, and stands about 32 inches on its base. The wooden base is 22 inches in diameter, and the saucer part of the ship measures in at 29 inches in diameter. It took Melby some eight months to build the thing (including the holidays)!
Melby notes that the model was built through a series of intertwining layers and a host of custom pieces to allow the ship to appear smooth, as opposed to jagged with hundreds of LEGO studs showing.
You can check out all the pictures, and Melby’s full breakdown of the process on his website.
