There’s something mighty impressive about building large masterpieces out of LEGO blocks. Combining the disparate parts to form a cohesive and recognizable whole is to be applauded. That said, this fantastic LEGO Batcave from Carlyle Livingston II and Wayne Hussey ranks above just about any of the other LEGO projects we’ve seen. Not only did it take over 20,000 blocks and more than 800 hours to complete, but the structure includes lights and motors for added detail.
It’s worth nothing that the project was first unveiled at Emerald City Comicon this year. Construction of the entire thing took twelve weeks, and the finished product weighs over 100 pounds. That’s a pretty hefty secret lair. Luckily, the Batcave separates into three distinct chunks for transport. Lugging the three parts around must be a painstakingly frustrating experience, but it’s probably totally worth it just to be able to say, “Hey, wanna see my Batcave?”
