Volkswagen microbus made from 400,000 LEGO blocks

This VW van made of LEGO is amazing. There are more photos on the VW site.

The van was designed and built by Rene Hoffmeister, one of only 12 officially certified LEGO(R) professionals in the world. Along with colleague Pascal Lenhard, the duo used 3D modeling to assemble a plan for the van, including a precise figure for the number of bricks needed. Beyond ensuring the major flexible pieces like doors worked, the pair also had to ensure structural rigidity in the side walls and other vertical surfaces to keep all the bricks from collapsing.
