I guess this man is often VERY bored. Otherwise he can't get such crazy ideas ;)

One absolutely surefire way to find out if you have too much free time on your hands.

Pretty cool though.

What about Japanese "creations", then ? After all, they've invented origamis and have ever designed more insane models...

Could you imagine buying that, only to drop it on the floor when you finally take it out of the box?

That would suck.

Probably it's like the models they have at Legoland where the bricks are glued together and rediculously strong!

I think that who can buy this lego model also has big enough rooms for it...
But perhaps it can frighten away dogs if you put it into your garden??! ;)

No, that's not the case for this Venator-class Star Destroyer... It has been delivered in retail parts to its owner... :wink:

i think if it drops down on the floor you have an activity for the rest of your life you build it up again (even with handbook :D)

I don't think the person who have succeeded in getting this LEGO model would be so awkward... :?

If he has enough money for the model he will also have enough money for paying a few workers for building it up!

"Working at LEGO is probably one of the best job ever created... Indeed, we're paid to play..."
This is a sentence pronounced by the author of this Star Wars Capital Ship, and believe me, you won't have to pay "workers" to re-build this model if it was in retail parts... :wink:

Not sure where you got that impression, would like to know. The following was taken from the actual ebay description:
Model is built around a steel armature that runs down the spine of the ship and includes a rolling steel display frame
Model took over 450 hours to design and build
You will need about 4 people to unpack it and mount on the display stand
while the model has been refurbished it does still show some minor wear from its convention tour this past summer.
All this I would feel would tend to suggest that not only is the ship already built, after all you wouldn't need 4 people to unpack some bricks, you could do that yourself. Plus I'm guessing that the construction instructions would be the size of a phone book! Anyway, still a nice model.
