“LEGO builders master Yoda in 100,000 pieces
Greg Monahan spends up to 20 hours a week building with LEGO, but it’s not just
that the Melbourne University student enjoys playing with toys. Mr Monahan, 21,
is part of a LEGO team that visits shopping centres to build models of popular
characters. Yesterday at Eastland shopping centre it was Yoda the Star Wars
Jedi master, a model that requires about 100,000 pieces.”

There’s a picture of him holding the prototype next to the partially completed
sculpture, which looks to be about 5x the size, each 2x4 brick translated to a
block 10x20x5 bricks high. I couldn’t find the article on The Age’s website, and
don’t currently have access to a scanner. It’s on page 6 if you’re interested.
