"Devotion" is not a strong enough word.

Did he actually complete the ship itself? I only see pics of parts completed, not the whole.

Never mind the building, think of the design work that went into it. All those sections shifting in different directions, plus making sure that everything's in scale afterwards. :shock:

I think after that he found the stuff fitted well together, he took it apart again to finish it up as you will notice that the first picture is last month while the "complete" picture is taken months ago.

I can't believe this kind of stuff. I didn't think legos were even strong enough for this kind of thing. I once tried building a ~2' Unicron and it kept falling apart before I could even finish. No, that didn't include his "ring"

Lego, not Legos. That looks retarded.

Unlike the models.
