According to Dezeen, the LEGO version took 250,000 bricks and 5 weeks to build.
Here’s a time-lapse video of the build process:

(And the original Henri Matisse quote: “There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever [...]
This dragon by elex on Brickshelf is 80 cm tall, weighs 14 kg, and took 5 weeks to build. Be sure to check out the work-in-progress pictures as well.
It seems like we’ve featured just about every creation the Arvo brothers (interview here) have built, but that’s because everything they make is wonderfully constructed and beautifully presented. Some creations are worth revisiting:

I don’t know why, but this jibbly creation by Moko makes me think of Furbys. Still an interesting creation, in a sort of creepy, wierd way…
Back on the old blog, I posted a couple times about a series of TV episodes in Japan called “LEGO King Championship.” You can read more about the show here, and see a YouTube video here. Unfortunately, the images I linked to in my original post quickly expired, and the YouTube footage doesn’t do justice [...]
