GEEK: Mark Kelso is Geekier Than You

What feats have you accomplished in your geek career? Stayed up all night playing Dungeons and Dragons? Consumed more Jolt Cola than Japan serves sushi? Do you have every Star Wars action figure from 1978 to present?



You ain't got shit on Mark Kelso.



He's spent the last nine months building a 30-pound, six-foot-long replica of General Grievous' flag ship, the Invisible Hand, out of Legos. Gizmodo has a gallery of photos taken of the completed model.



Mark kept a photo journal of his progress on his personal website. Click for more pictures, other projects, and to bask in his golden rays of superiority.



punk still has thousands of Legos stashed at his mom's house.

All that effort, wasted on something from one of the *shudder* prequel movies.

Also, dude: "yo", "pount"?

Gremlins, yo. Fixed.

This makes all those hours I spent trying to make dirty mosaics with my Legos look like a waste of energy.

Hehehe.

Gross.

Hahahahahahaah.

Legos are teh awesome. Nothing can beat Lego as the toy of choice for me.

I actually started trying top design a working model of an ATAT using Lego Digital Designer a while ago, but I discovered that a) the program is still a bit buggy and b)I need to upgrade my RAM.

Thank you.

Nerd!

Dang, I always think of legos as living room caltrops deployed by my 7 year old in an attempt to evade his Mom's wrath.

Must be getting old! Now if he modeled a Madcat out of legos, I'd be impressed.

it's not long enough for its girth. going just by it's length, the spire is tall enough, but it would need to be taller if the length was corrected.

that's Timber Wolf, freebirth.

and finally, i see your find of the lego Invisible Hand and raise you The Star Destroyer Project.

No , the caltrops are the D4 dice from your role playing games .

having trod on lego and trod on d4, i can safely say that lego has proven more painful and debilitating.

I see your non-Lego Star Destroyer and raise you one Lego Clone Wars era Star Destroyer. It's a Venator class ship, son.

Here's a side-by-side shot.

I've been going to comic book conventions since I was 11 years old...and I always thought of Ogre and his battle-cry whenever I would first show up.

while not nearly impressive on the massive huge-largeness scale, the Dork Factor (DF) on this thing is massive enough to share:


because it's this, only in lego:


that's some sentimentality, right there.

oh, and i think that these guys were really underpricing this.
