That's a Helluva Lot Of White LEGO Pieces

 

I've always been a fan of LEGO's.  There's just something about the little plastic bricks, and the fact that you can do a billion different things with them, that makes me happy.

 

Take for example, the above pictures.  Flickr user Brickplumber has posted up an amazing piece of LEGO art, which recreates the epic Battle of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back.

 

Using 60,000 lego pieces, the artist has recreated Echo base in loving detail (complete with lighting) as well as the trenches outside and the incoming Imperial Walkers. 

 

Be sure to check out the gallery for more amazing photos from this project, including numerous close up shots that give a better view of the detail included with this piece.
