Using BrickStock, Charles found he already had about 8,500 of the 20,000 required destroyer pieces from various LEGO sets and lots he’d collected at garage sales and online marketplaces. He purchased some remaining parts from online sellers.

As Charles’s bricks poured in, he started assembling his destroyer using the massive 3,300-page custom instruction book provided by Studio 2.0. But by page 200, he says, “things started to fall apart.”

The engine end broke apart multiple times, and he explains that, “I had all these sharp angles that worked perfectly in my computer model, but refused to stick together in reality, and the tip of the model sagged at the bottom.”

But like Luke Skywalker storming the Death Star in his X-Wing fighter, Charles refused to give up despite all of the problems. And 15 months later, he finally finished his five-foot-long LEGO masterpiece.

While his model isn’t for sale, you can purchase his gargantuan instruction booklet, plus a list of the LEGOs you need. If you are up for the challenge (and have access to 20,000 LEGO bricks), may the force be with you!
