When Legos meet Gamers

While perusing the porn laden tubes of the internets this morning I stumbled upon this true gem of internet engineering.

According to the builder Steve Barker of Lair of the Legomancer the project in total took 11 hours to construct, after having to make a bulk order of red and black legos of specific shapes.

For those who don't recognize this fiendishly awesome death weapon, it's none other than a level 3 (see: Fully Upgraded) rocket turret from Team Fortress 2.

The resemblance to the actual 3D model is quite astounding. This guy knows how to build some legos. See, when I was in my lego phase I was lucky if what I was building looked remotely like a boat... my boats often had wheels... and were a myriad of colors as I just had a tub of shapes... and my parents often told me I would never accomplish anything if I approached life with the safe sort of shiftless dedication I approached my lego building with.

Seriously though, I loved legos but they were all pretty weak. Thanks Steve for making me feel inadequate much like my father.
