It may have been designed to help young children get to grips with how the world of construction works but it seems that Lego can still bring out the big kid in anyone, especially when it comes to scale models of passenger aircraft.
Lego enthusiast Ryan McNaught has taken his passion for building in plastic a step further than most by constructing a painstakingly accurate replica of a Qantas A380 plane from scratch.
The replica model of the 'Superjumbo' - in real-life, a double-deck, four-engine airliner that is currently the world's largest passenger plane - uses mainly white, grey and red bricks and took Australian McNaught eight months to build. It comprises 35,000 pieces, measures over 7ft in length and is 6ft wide.
The model moves too with automated touch-screen controls operating functions that include front landing gear, two rear landing gear doors and airbrakes on the wing. Surrounding the aircraft there are baggage carts, fuel tankers and airport employees wearing the obligatory bright attire.
