Science fiction themed LEGO projects are a dime dozen but few are as impressive on a galactic scale as this incredibly detailed Triport Spire created by Rogue Bantha AKA Flickr user Tim Goddard. And just before you spend your precious office hours googling what a Triport Spire is, let us tell you that it is a sci-fi inspired space port (as in airport for spacecrafts) that can apparently serve as a hanger for several spacecrafts at a time. Built using only Lego pieces, the Spire features a working elevator, internal lighting running on a 9V battery that illuminate the hangers and even a whole fleet of tiny and detailed spaceships.
The best thing about this piece is that the creator has fine tuned every aspect of the design to make it look like anything but a Lego creation. Not only is the Spire a novel concept in terms of sci-fi inspired design, the project’s amazing detailing is what keep its audiences engrossed for hours and the creation could very well pass for a prop created for a big budget movie set!
The creator has not revealed how many pieces of Lego were used in the build and how many hours it took to create the piece (including the backgrounds) but we’re sure those figures would only be half as astounding as the creation itself.
