Over the years many people have made various Lego dioramas in an attempt to recreate iconic scenes or locations from their favourite films. I can tell you right now, that none of them will ever compair to the size and scope of the Echo Base project.
The idea to recreate the Battle of Hoth in Lego on such an epic scale was conceived by a man named Mark Borlase. The whole project took over four years and $3000+ to create and at completion, the whole display stands at an impressive 5x10 feet.
For most people, that might have been enough, but to then add 50 real working LED's in the hangar, motorised hangar doors and motorised winches on the AT-AT's really takes this diorama to the next level.
Marks work however didn't go unnoticed and recently he won the Star Wars Lego creation challenge and will soon be featured in the official Lego magazine.
