Building ATLAS from scratch

Derrick Walker, a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School, has just finished his research project featuring the ATLAS LEGO model. As part of his project, Derrick found supporters to finance the necessary 9517 pieces, ordered them and spent more than 72 hours to build the model. Currently, Derrick’s model is on display at his school and he plans to show it various exhibitions in the Adelaide area.

Here is a few pictures of the final model …

Derrick also prepared a nice time-lapse movie of the construction …
