This amazing recreation of the Saturn V rocket that launched Apollo 11 was made by Lego fan Ryan McNaught from 120,000 plastic bricks. The Australian architect is dwarfed by his incredibly detailed Lego model, which is the tallest in the country at a remarkable 5.7 metres high. Father-of-two Mr McNaught will display his sculpture, which took 250 hours to make, at the Brickvention event in Victoria this month.
The Melbourne-based artist has populated his wonderful construction with tiny Lego astronauts, fuelling up the rocket ship, travelling in Nasa's astrovan and even stopping for lunch. A few droid stowaways are also amusingly scattered around Mr McNaught's impressively accurate rocket. On the launchpad, figures chat on walkie-talkies, while men in hard hats swarm around the ship adding finishing touches. The astonishingly realistic model even has cutaway sections so that people can look at its workings on the inside.
