 | | LEGO Fans in Germany set NEW Star Destroyer™ World Record — Jake McKee
|
| | | As most of you remember, I'm sure, BricksWest attendees built the Imperial Star Destroyer in 1 hour 43 minutes. Quite a feat...one I rubbed in to my European counterpart, Kate Sutch. Last Saturday, July 5th, 10 German LEGO Fans took on the challenge (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.general, lugnet.announce, FTX) !!

| | | | | (...) Ha! Me and my fellow-builder Jan-Albert attended the Berlin 1000SteineWelt. We build the Pirates-part of the display. The 10 Destroyer builders had NO plan, NO training and only seen the thing in the showroom of Lego Direct! Nutricion was oké, (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

Now I'm not a mathematical genius, but I think 104 minutes with 8 people might be better than 77 minutes with 10...but maybe not. Which is really (...)
