I thought is was Duplo at first...holy crap!
That's a lot of time just to make the scaled-up pieces!

But you can't argue with the results! Beautiful!

... If those little men are pose-able, ... I'm so there.

@Ghede: Or rather the big little men.

Aww memories, I had this set when I was a little guy. I gave it to my nephew a couple of years ago, but apparently it's not as cool as the new castle lego sets so it sits in a box.

not impressed

@brutek: that yellow brick is not impressed with you either

@brutek: Interesting how reacting to such creativity can leave one smelling of troll.

I wonder how much it cost...

It isn't six times bigger is is 6^3 times bigger. It is a 6:1 scaled model, but that means that each dimension grows by 6x, which in three space comes out to this set being 216 times bigger than the original.

Looks like a lot of fun and brings memories back from walking barefoot over Lego....sweet sweet memories

@comedian: Good point.

This is SO cool. Especially since they were kind enough to pick my favourite set of all times.

You even had to build the horses out of bricks those days...

I think I'm most impressed by how they recreated the weapons, especially the halberds.

That is so... epic. I want to rub my nipples on the towers.

@jackfrost132: Thank you. I just spewed coffee out my nose from reading that.

Nice. I cant wait for a mindstorm set to build a 6:1 version of itself- and so on and so on...

I will welcome our new studly overlords.

"You don't frighten us with your silly knees-bent running around advancing behavior!"

"Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he will be very keen. Uh, he's already got one, you see."

@comedian: Thanks for the math! I've updated the post on Brothers-Brick.com. :-)

Is there an update on Jesus' Millenium Falcon in the works?

@ninjagin: Iiiiiiit's coming.

God, I always get nailed for this with every LEGO post.

I can't look at it without thinking Simpson's...

OMG that is awesome....I can't wait till I graduate college so I can go to my parents house and get my 15,000 dollars worth of legos and start building again.....homework really puts a damper on imagination

"Looks Bigger than Most Apartments" ~ Maybe in NYC. There is a bigger, much better world on the other side of those bridges. However, we still don't want you down in the south, NY and NJ has reached their southern immigration quotas.

I had two of these sets when I was a kid! I still am sad from when they switched to the large grey panels instead os the individual bricks.
Lego needs to sell giant sets of Duplo for making big things.

again with the lego's? i dont get it...where's the plug or battery...i thought this was a tech site?

@killthebabysitter: GADGETS! That covers a vast array of really cool stuff, powered, not powered, stupid or genius. If I see a post here that doesnt interest me, I just dont read it, I also dont bitch about it. Hint Hint.

@comedian:

Well I have to totally disagree with that logic. A 6:1 scale model is by definition 6x bigger than the original. (Now if you said the volume was 216x bigger then you'd be right but I really don't think that's what people mean when they say something is 6x bigger)

All this math makes my head hurt.
Can't we just build stuff outta Lego?

using Duplo Blocks meant for 2 year olds in not impressive_

Adults should be building shit this big out of the standard bricks_ I'd be more impressed with these:
kid vehicle

life sized figures

and the best:
Bite My Shiny LEGO Ass !!

[edit]
using Duplo Blocks meant for 2 year olds is* not impressive_

.

@uberfu: OK, I have to ask, whats the the "dot". I have seen you post it several times, and I am just not "getting" it. Is this some really cool code (which would explain why I dont know about it)?

@Jesus Diaz: stubs = studs. E.g., you are a stud. Not a stub. And LEGO has studs.

I think.

I love how they snuck in Lego Batman as well as a few Mr Men

@Sockpuppet... I think you have some reclaimin' to do!

They should have made the bricks out of marshmallow. Yum...

@Curves:

I think its correcting a typo .

I LOVE lego castle, but this looks like a Lego Castle set mated with a Lego Duplo set or Lego City Set.

Its just sad. Lego castle has a much darker look these days, and is just a poor tribute to it.

@jackfrost132: Are you on the child predator list?

@Jesus Diaz: The yellow brick doesn't even know him.

@LindsayJoy: This is the original castle made with regular bricks.

@uberfu: RTFA. And TFSU.

This would be the perfect place for my dolls to live...
I mean action figures.
...I mean girlfriends.

I call shenanigans...those are just tiny people.

That castle would be a perfect place for my dolls.

Er...I mean action figures.

...I mean girlfriends.

@InTheCeiling:

nice post

@InTheCeiling:

nice post

@Jesus Diaz:

Sorry....

(Hangs head in shame)

But still could have been cooler....

Hey can I just buy actual Lego pieces on this scale? That would be so fun to build in all the time.

@Jesus Diaz:
Better hurry up before I lap you. After taking mine to one MichLUG meeting and two public displays, I'm already itching to dismantle each individual section and rebuild it (should go a lot faster this time, as I won't have to hunt for parts amongst the ~80 part bags), but this time I want to beef up the superstructure in key places. Particularly, I find that the ventral hull has design problems. There are three main sections that are mounted studs-up by just snapping them onto the underside of the superstructure, where in reality they should have some sort of hangers because a couple dozen studs aren't enough to carry the weight long-term (and especially not when it's moving at freeway speeds in a car). I also changed a few aspects of the dorsal hull almost immediately, lowering the dorsal gun pit one plate height and filling in some of the more unpleasant gaps with my horde of extra 2x4 wings because I just couldn't stand the look of a ~1/4" gap ringing the gun pit.

@killthebabysitter:
Hey, one of the guys in our club figured out how to make minifig-scale LEGO cars drive around a section of layout with no obvious means of control (i.e. they aren't train motor bogeys disguised as automobiles with the track tiled over to look like a road surface). There's another guy who designed LEGO cows that will "watch" LEGO trains pass by (as the train goes past, they will swing their heads from one side to the other). There's another club that has a motorized King Kong atop a compressed minifig scale Empire State Building. Just because they're plastic bricks doesn't mean you can't mechanize them. There are dozens of different official LEGO motor bricks, at least five "smart" bricks (usually found in the Mindstorms line), a bunch of sensors, and all kinds of gears and gear-related items. The two biggest limitations in anything you could choose to make are your imagination and your wallet.

@davidgun64:
That's not how it works. A 6:1 scale model means that for every 1" in the original source, the scale model measures 6". Size, however, is measured by volume, which incorporates all three dimensions unless it's a scale replica of a flat image. If you wanted to make a 2:1 scale model of a Fort Knox brick of gold, you'd still have to buy the equivalent of eight bricks of gold to make it, not just two.
