10,000 piece Lego Star Wars Sandcrawler measures over 3 feet long

Marshal Banana spent the past 9 months building this truly faithful recreation of the Sandcrawler in Lego. This massive minifig-scale model retains a high-level of details despite its size. The builder goes beyond to add remote-controlled steering and other functions such as a motorized crane and conveyor belt. A fully detailed interior completes this perfect build.

Pictures of the completed model can be found on Flickr as well as work-in-progress shots.

Here is the video showing the working features of the Sandcrawler.
