LEGO has been used to create so many things, but this creation by 'Marshal Banana' is surely one of the most magnificent. Marshal Banana, who is a huge Star Wars fan, has built a 3-foot-long LEGO sandcrawler from Star Wars. The LEGO sandcrawler is composed of 10,000 pieces and took nine months to assemble.
The gigantic LEGO version weighs over 45 pounds and is a full model of the real thing right down to the interior. The cock-pit is completely detailed in the three0leveled interior. There is even four battery packs inside because the LEGO sandcrawler is fully motorized.
LEGO really does provide incredible possibilities and Marshal Banana is just one of the many examples of LEGO art.
