Nice.

But why a Swopwith Camel?

Not complaining, but just wondered why out of all the things they could have
done someone decided to make a sculpture of this.

Someone came into work one day and said, "I know, I will make a Swopwith
Camel".

Hardly top of the list of 'things to make from Lego' is it?

Makes you wonder whatever next.

If you were a Lego model builder, what would you make?

I would build a B-17 but that would force Lego to make military green pieces.
<drool>  Before any one suggests it I already bought a Mega Bloks set for that
color. [hides head in shame]  It will be good for a moss covered cliff in the
backround but not much else, espeically not the thin sleek constuction of a
B-17.  I think that this is a pipe dream but then again I never saw that
Sopwith Camel coming either.  I already backordered one.
