LEGO The Fifth Element Taxi MOC
Tonight I finished building my largest #LEGO #MOC in terms of number of parts (2100+) and it's a model from a movie that's dear to my 14-year old heart, The Fifth Element (1997). I watched it so many time dubbed in French that I was disappointed when I first heard Bruce Willis' actual voice, much softer than the French voice actor's.
The model itself is sizeable and sturdy, with a detailed interior and intricate body curves. The roof is appropriately busted through and the bottom is fully detailed even though it's quite hard to see when the model rest on its accompanying stand.
The instructions aren't cheap, but they are almost 300 pages long with nearly 600 steps to accommodate the number of parts. A separate PDF can be printed on sticker paper to add the final visual touches to this model.
Finally, the parts, they cost me about US $160 to collect them. There are a few elements that are somewhat rare, but the rest is available and cheap.
