Hi Everyone,

Here's my Brickvention 2012 model.
120,000 Bricks.
5.7m tall
About 250 hours to design and construct.
there is some steelwork inside due to its height and public display needs.
The tallest thing I have ever built, and I dare say it I'm never going that high again. :)
there are some great behind the scenes pics which ill share with after Brickvention.

Questions more than welcome, plenty more high-res pictures on my flickr stream

Cheers

Ryan

Holy sh!it were the first things to come out of my mouth when I saw this. This is crazy huge. That's a serious structure there and is really spot on. I like the booster area down at the bottom. Great looking rocket.

Awe-inspiring :) and incredibly huge. I'm with the others on this, it's very impressive.

How about adding a link to your Flickr in the first post? I'm sure you'll get a bunch of extra visitors...

Wow, this is simply amazing. I had to share it on Facebook because this is the kind of MOC even non-AFOLs can enjoy. The sheer size of this is beyond impressive. Truly excellent work.

Thanks, but I don't have any problems finding the Flickr page. I was just suggesting that he add the link to his first post, to make it easier for people who aren't as super quick as you and I :)

Looking forward to seeing it at Brickvention this year. I have enjoyed the build and humour in the last couple of large MOC's you have created, the airbus in 2010 and the Love Boat last year.
