Monday, January 19th, 2009LEGO artist Thomas Benedikt plowed hundreds of hours, thousands of dollars, and a shit-tacular amount of LEGO bricks (45,000+) into his mission that began with “building all the ships in the Trade Federation fleet” and then expanded to constructing other capital ships from the Star Wars prequels.
