Tempus fugit
Rolls Royce created a Lego block working replica of one of their jet engines. The Lego jet engine is 4’9” long and 6’5” feet wide, weighing 676 lbs. It is a replica of the Rolls Royce Trent 1000, which is used in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. According to Rolls Royce, it is the world’s first all Lego working jet engine. The Lego engine took four people eight weeks to build and complete, with over 152,000 Lego pieces.

Yes, one can now build with LEGO anywhere and everywhere, well, certainly throughout Australia on Google Maps. Don’t worry if you are not located in Australia or New Zealand, as it seems to work fine for users in other countries e.g. for me in the U.S.A.
As of now, this Google Maps ‘feature’ (I’m not really sure what it is… it doesn’t seem clearly tied to Google Play which is a games platform) is limited to a single continent. The website “About” page indicates that other parts of the world may become available for LEGO homesteading in the near future.
The site address, Build with Chrome map reminds me that it may be necessary to use Chrome browser for this to work, or perhaps a Chrome Netbook, if you have one (I don’t). It functioned well on my laptop, but I don’t know if it would on any of those high end fancy devices like iTablets…
Yep, this is a real working 4x5 camera made out of legos.
The best part? It’s name: The Legotron, Mark I.
