Are those real Legos ? It looks like a graphic, not real legos.
Pretty cool though !

I used LEGO Digital Designer to build it, so for now it only exists digitally. It would cost around $220 to build, at the current rate of roughly $.10/piece. The program does compile parts lists and create building instructions though, so it is possible to make this a real model.

Wow! Will it actually compile a list and put together instructions? If no one else is willing, I'll take a stab at it.... Let me know how I order it.

LEGO used to allow you to create custom sets with Digital Designer, then order them, complete with custom packaging. Unfortunately they put a stop to the practice 2 years ago. I can still create instructions and parts lists, but from there you have to source the parts yourself. LEGO offers the Pick-A-Brick service, and there are a few independant sellers online. The real trick is making sure all the pieces in the required colors are available (chrome gets tricky, but can sometimes be replaced with light gray). I can customize the model to specific departments, and I have been doing the later noses. Decals are up to the user.
