Yes I have to agree that is a very impressive achievement. I suspect it is also very delicate, my experience of trying to go 3D has shown it can struggle to hold together. There are a lot of pieces I don't recognise but adult Lego has become quite a thing in the last few years. I will pass link to my son-in-law who has some very impressive constructions.

You get a great Darth Vader effect using Lego :)

"we like to improvise, we're inventors" - that would have given me a "proud dad" moment if it had been one of my daughters.  Good on her.
