LEGO Helicarrier

For me, one of the nerd out moments in The Avengers is when the SHIELD helicarrier takes flight for the first time. While there is an official LEGO set available for about $350, a fan just built one twice its size at about 4 1/2 feet. It was built by ZiO Chao and his friends in about a month and a half using only reference photos from the film and about 15,000 LEGO pieces. Go check out his flickr album for this incredible build here.

And here's that scene from The Avengers which still gives me goosebumps!
