[corsair]

this has to be one of the most amazing builds I've ever seen! The amount of detail this guy put into this is just beyond belief.

Ohio Stadium, build with just over 1 million LEGO pieces. Total building time is well over 1000 hours, over a span of nearly two years, size is 8 x 6.5 x 2.5 feet. I hope to be able to take better pictures soon. Update: Here are some answers to the most common questions I have been asked in the past week: The scale is very close to 1:120. I did not use any glue, and did not use any non-LEGO pieces. I did not cut, paint, or modifiy any pieces. Yes, I hope to be able to display it on the OSU campus one day.

It's a fantasic build. But I'm sure his wife is thinking...

"If he spent that much time finishing the basement instead of building that stadium the basement would be done by now."

another amazing thing is just the crazy amount of bricks this dude has. Check out the background of some of the pics... man I can only imagine the price tag on all that

[dr_spock]

Cool. That's a lot of bricks.

[legitimatealex]

If only I had that amount of bricks : )

Wow... I'm impressed, and ALMOST inspired. I'm an FSU Alumni, and think I could build a sweet Doak Campbell Feild/Bobby Bowden Stadium.... because my other option would require as many bricks to build as the cost of the actual staidium... talking about Jerry-World: Dallas Cowboy Stadium.

I thought I had a pretty impressive collection, but the background of his would seem to have me dominated. Wonder if he scalped his sets for the pieces to build his stadium, yard-sale hunted, massive piece lot sales on ebay, or if he did a nice chunky order at S@H for specific pieces. What do you guys think?

I'm thinking massive Bricklink orders.

Possibly 10's of thousands of dollars? I bet some one (a company, OSU, or mega rich lego fan) would buy it for $50 grand.

That is the most impressive lego structure I have ever seen! I hope he has a basement door to the outside and a tractor trailer to tow that thing. :) I can't imagine what that weighs.

Actually, Paul Janssen is a bricklink seller so he buys sets takes what he needs and sells the rest.
