Seeing The Rocketeer back in 1991 was my first exposure to the concept of retro-futurism. Dave Ware has recreated the wonderful art deco look of the movie poster as a LEGO mosaic:
A few key facts from Dave’s post on the brickwares blog:
- There are 30,672 studs in the mosaic.
- 3.75 feet wide and 5.5 feet tall.
- It took 70 hours to complete.
- The parts alone would likely cost $1,000.
