For many of us, playing with Lego was a great pastime that eventually fell by the wayside as real-world responsibilities like school and work dulled our youthful spirit. Despite this, it remains legal for anyone to build with Lego, and there are many diehard fans that continue to create well into adulthood. YouTuber BigPlanes is one such builder, who has recently outdone himself by faithfully recreating the Airbus A380.

As shared by AutoEvolution, the build is a substantial one both in the effort involved and the actual physical size of the finished product. The model boasts a seven-foot wingspan, is six feet long, and the vertical stabilizer itself is a full three feet high. Over 40,000 parts went into constructing the plane, including several Lego motors for actuating the control surfaces and turning the engines. 

The plane is finished in an authentic Emirates airline livery, with attention down to the finest details. The plane doesn't just look good on the outside either, with the entire interior modeled as well. Removing the roof of the plane reveals the cockpit and upper deck, home to first and business class. Underneath, the lower deck contains the economy class seats, in a suitably desert-themed color scheme just as you might see on a real Emirates flight. Even the flight attendants fit the theme, wearing the characteristic hat and scarf of the Emirates uniform.
