Lego

HI

You think you're bored..? Take a look at what this guy did with all the time on his hands! "THE LEGO CHURCH " This is amazing! Someone certainly is talented and patient to create such a masterpiece .

A few quick facts:

How long to build it? It was about a year and a half of planning, building and photographing.

How many pieces of LEGO to build it? more than 75,000

How big is it? About 7 feet by 5 1/2 feet by 30 inches (2.2 m x 1.7 m x 76 m )

How many LEGO people does it seat? 1,372

How many windows? 3,976

It features a balcony, a Narthex, stairs to the balcony, restrooms, coat rooms, several mosaics, a nave, a baptistery, an altar, a crucifix, a pulpit and an elaborate pipe organ.

Lis@~~
