Cool Stuff: This Custom LEGO AT-AT Is Six Times Bigger Than The Official Model
Lately,LEGOhas been putting together some pretty awesome sets that are just as cool for adult collectors as for kids. In fact, some of them are probably geared towards those older master builders, such as the massiveGhostbustersfirehouse and the recently revealed 1966Batmanseries Batcave. But when it comes toStar Wars,most of their sets are still geared towards kids, and some builders just want their LEGOStar Warsvehicles bigger and better.
That’s where master builderPeter Brookdalecomes into play with his custom LEGO AT-AT fromThe Empire Strikes Backthat was created with over 6,000 pieces, making it six times bigger than the official LEGO set. Check it out below!
The folks over atBrickVaultput together the custom model based on Brookdale’s design (viaGizmodo):
If you don’t have tie to watch the time-lapse video, here’s some photos of Brookdale’s own set:
What’s cool about this design is that you may actually get a hold of the directions of how to put it together. In order to actually build it, you’ll need to round-up the pieces fromBrickLink, and that’s probably going to be rather expensive. But if you’ve got the money, then you can build yourself this awesome LEGO AT-AT. However, now that the official LEGO AT-AT set has been retired, a custom job might be the only way you can build thisStar Warsvehicle for awhile.
