Ed Diment flies to France on his LEGO Concorde at Mach 2
With his British Airways Concorde, Ed Diment gives Ralph Savelsberg’s B-1B Lancer a run for its money as the largest fan-built LEGO airplane model:
Even at this enormous scale, Ed has built functionality into the model. The landing gear can be stored inside the fuselage and the nose goes up and down:
Here’s Ed proving that even such a huge LEGO model is still swooshable:

This is awesome. I seriously need to start buying more generic sets and playing around with them.

Ed’s prowess with the brick is both annoying and inspiring to me. :-D

Wow, I have always liked the real plane, I saw a very interesting doco about the delta wing designed for super sonic speeds.
I wonder how many pieces are in this build?
A fantastic model, bravo.

Awesome stuff!

Thanks Doc I aims to annoy!
There’s roughly 10,000 bricks involved, not that I actually counted them all.

One word : Damn!

the nose does look somewhat out of proportion and at an exaggerated angle to the real thing. I would suggest a little more research would yield even better building results. Still it appears that the abilty to snap together a few plates and bricks will make up for a lack of design sense

Dear Titan, if you had a clue, you might be dangerous. ;-)

I want one! Do plans for these large scale lego models exist, or are these scratch built???

Ed> Hehehehehe. I’ll file that one under ‘Useful’
I’d like to point out to all that while it looks like Ed can swoosh this, less ridiculously large people would probably have trouble.

CustomSlotCars> I am afraid no plans exist as they are custom built. There are graphics packages that allow you to design these, so in theory plans could be done, but they would take a fantastically long time, so I am afraid I wouldn’t. There is a company: http://www.mechanizedbrick.com that do a few good custom sets that you might be interested in. Please note I don’t have any affiliation with these people. Hopefuly this doesn’t breech any ‘Brother’s Brick’ rules!
Hope that helps dude.

[...] Ce Concorde est peut-être moins gros que l’Airbus A380 Lego, mais il n’en reste pas moins impressionnant. Il est non seulement joli, mais il est également solide, puisqu’il maintient son intégrité structurelle pendant qu’Ed Diment le fait évoluer dans les airs autour de lui. Le nez et le train d’atterrissage sont articulés, ajoutant au réalisme déjà saisissant de l’ensemble. [Brothers Brick] [...]
