Even at Minifig Scale, This LEGO Saturn V Rocket Is Ginormous

Standing 5.76 meters (roughly 19 feet) tall and composed of nearly 120,000 bricks this recreation of the Apollo 11 mission's Saturn V rocket is as mammoth as it is detailed. LEGO Certified Professional Ryan "The BrickMan" McNaught included every detail, down the to the LEGO NASA Astrovan used to shuttle the astronauts across the tarmac. Only thing missing is a LEGO Crawler. [Brothers Brick - Image: The BrickMan / Flickr]
