Micro-scale Colosseum MOC

[Creative Mind]

Hey guys,

I am rekindling my love for Lego but I am new to the world of MOCs and all the advances that have happened since I was 10...

I am trying to figure out of it is economical to rebuild the MOC in the following links;

Could someone give me an estimation on number of pieces required/cost? Also, any information you think I might need (assume that I am relatively ignorant when it comes to Lego)

Any help would be appreciated greatly!!

Just a very rough guess but I would say at least 20,000 pieces, and it would probably cost well over a 2000 dollars to buy the pieces for it.

Again this is just an estimate, but it definitely wouldn't be cheap
