Someone recreated the entire map of Skyrim using Lego, and it took close to 74,000 bricks and over two-and-a-half years to build.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of gaming’s most iconic open worlds, a giant fantasy sandbox that players can get lost in for hundreds of hours. While there are plenty of Lego fan builds for video games, including this impressive Lego Helldivers 2 Super Destroyer, and even official Legend of Zelda and Mario Lego sets, translating a massive world map like Skyrim’s into Lego is no small feat.
That, however, is exactly what creator Ian Roosma did–though it certainly wasn’t easy. As broken down on their YouTube channel, the build took nine months of planning and over two years to build. The map is eight feet wide and over six feet tall with 44 layers, as it’s a topographic map that accurately represents the landscape of Skyrim. Out of the exactly 73,761 Lego bricks used to make the map, 5,776 of them were trees.
