There must have been a shortage on White Lego blocks the year this was built. I Can Imagine it now "I'm sorry Sir we have no more White Lego blocks, might we interest you in some Red Ones at a discount?"
The Painstaking amount of work and detail that went into this amazing Lego Diorama is just insane. Mark Borlase created a 5 foot by 10 foot Star Wars Hoth diorama using LEGO. The display took over 4 years and $3000 to create, and consists of over 55,000 pieces, 50 real LED lights and a remote controled mechanism which deploys troops from the AT-ATs. All the lights are controlled by 1-9v train regulator and the doors are controlled by a second 9v regulator. The diorama won the recent Star Wars LEGO creation challenge and will be featured in the official LEGO magazine. The photos below show the Sick bay with custom medical droid and bacta tank, a complete interior view of Echo base. You can see Chewie is doing some last minute welding work on the Millennium Falcon, as well as a custom gantry for the mechanics to work on the X-wings, complete with overhead and runway lighting.
You Can Even See the detail of the Storm Troopers and Ice Troopers as they walk across the frozen tundra on their way to attack the Rebel base!
The Diorama even has specific Scenes from the movie The Empire Strikes Back
including the memorable scenes of Luke Skywalker healing in the baca/kolto tank
and another scene of Luke getting ready to grapple up to The AT-AT Imperial Walker to destroy it with a lightsaber, grenade and grapple hook.
Seeing Luke Skywalker getting ready to ascend to the belly of the AT-AT Walker really shows you a sense of scale as you can now see the imense size of these Imperial Walkers.
