LEGO fans are all about embracing their creativity. Although there are official LEGO sets for building just about everything, many fans prefer to create their own constructions directly from their imaginations.
One LEGO and Star Wars fan did just that by creating one gigantic AT-AT walker that's much larger than the one from the official LEGO AT-AT kit.
The largest official kit for the walker only comes with about 1,000 bricks. However, this particular fan-made unit has 6,000 bricks in its design.
Charlie Goldburg from BrickVault built the unit and used time-lapse photography to show how it progressed from just a few blocks to the final massive creation. In the video, Goldburg begins the build alone, but eventually requests help from his BrickVault team.
"Putting this thing up on its legs is extremely difficult and scary," says Goldburg in the video. "The model itself is amazing, it's so much bigger than I thought it would be when I started building it."
Goldburg used a design from Peter Brookdale, who originally created the 6,000-brick build for the AT-AT. Brookdale also designed LEGO creations for other massive Star Wars undertakings, including a TIE fighter and an Imperial landing craft.
The video is only 14 minutes long, but the build actually took a whopping 26 hours of work. The video also tackles a question about how something so large and seemingly so delicate stands so sturdy on thin legs after construction.
For those lacking the patience for something so massive, there are still a lot of Star Wars LEGO sets available, including a set to create the Millennium Falcon and even a set to build Kylo Ren's command shuttle.
Meanwhile, other creative LEGO fans are using sets and their own creations to create new artistic visions, including this Captain America: Civil War trailer done entirely in LEGO. Some builders have even created computers out of the bricks.
