wrong channel but sure LOL
wonder if the flaps work
👈👈👈✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️😱😱😱😱😱😱
Ask him to make another one and the twin towers
NGL, eight year old me would totally have used that Lego plane for a Lego plane crash on the slopes of mount staircase.
It gives a whole new meaning to the words FLIGHT TEST!
Haha
LOL
🤣🤣
Hope you didn't have hardwood floors if the thing weighs 100 lbs. I'd be summary executed by my mom if I did that.
Amazing. I’m so glad we live in a world where people get to do something like this and get to share it to an enthusiastic audience
You don't seem that melancholic, duck.
@@billypilgrim1 Maybe he said it sarcastically, through gritted teeth. (-:
@@chrisphobia the single tear beginning to roll through his cheek
@@billypilgrim1 lightly sobbing as he holds his hands together tightly. "This is it" he exhales
QUACK!!!
For now. If you're american it may not be for much longer!
Awesome work, Jack!

hey it's beyond the brick
I was thinking of your interviews when watching this lol

Hi
Jack is a wonderful designer and builder. Loved following his builds over the years. So looking forward to seeing his VC-25 (B747), “Air Force 1” on display at the AF Museum at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, OH.
No way really??? I go there a lot I’m excited. Is it gonna be a permanent fixture?
do you know how long that will be there for? I visit Dayton about once a year and have been to the museum a couple times. Would love to go back there with that in mind
@@joedoerr6506 I think it is permanent. Once the museum receives a retired VC-25, then the model will be displayed with the VC-25.
What's so "wonderful" about choosing an airline that is owned by a Military Dictator that has kidnapped two of his own daughters?
That model is HUGE. Those massive wings made out of Lego not needing support is amazing. This guy is a genius.
Is he? In that case - why did he choose an airline that is owned by a Military Dictator?
@@angela1984a Do you thing he should choose American Airlines? It could be a good idea because of US just killed billions of people from Serbia, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and so on.
@@angela1984a Emirates A380s are the most iconic ones, and they are the ones who mostly operate them.
@@avaricee3 How is being owned by a Military Dictator that has kidnapped two of his own daughters "iconic" (You can google the part about his two daughters.) Answer: It isn't "iconic" in any way. It is in fact criminal in every democratic country.
Simply stating that Emirates has the most common A380s, which is why the guy used their liveries. (**You know nothing about aviation, so it's better if you keep your mouth shut.**)
That's impressive. I'd have no idea where to start with something like that. I hope Emirates sponsored this build.
I was going to say, if i was Emirates i would reach out to him asap.
@@drago7635 He actually got flown out to the Dubai EXPO for free. He wasn't sponsored though all made from the support of his TH-cam channel BigPlanes.
@@dimetap First class?
@@ItaloBarbiero yeah i think the images are on his flickr
@@ItaloBarbiero they better have flown him first class!!
This guy is some kind of genius. I wonder what his day job is? Structural engineer or something?
He's definitely an industrial engineer of some sort. Based off his other builds, my immediate guess is aerospace engineer
He's a college student studying Architecture.
@@dimetap Holy shit, how does he juggle school work with a hobby like this? Damned impressive
what make you think he has a job?
@@OptimusMonk01 because Legos are damn expensive
As a man who will always love LEGO, (my personal speciality is MECHS and CARS.) THIS IS BREATHTAKING!!! A incredible marvel of engineering...
yeah I'm so confused how he got the wings to be so stable, that's really impressive!
love to see Jack getting more recognition, he's an astonishing builder
He is so terribly clever & earnest. Such a nice young man.
Is he? If so - then why did he choose an airline that is owned by a Military Dictator?
I wouldnt be suprised if Emirates didnt come forward and offer buy this thing off him. It would be a cool thing to display!
I was thinking the same thing.
Or commission him to do a different one... possibly embossed with actual gold.
@@kyoko703 Legold
@@MeneTekelUpharsin 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's just so nice to see Norm get as excited over things as the project creators. It's just great to see people geek out over the details, the work and skill that goes into creating something. Kudos on the amazing build and thanks for the video tested crew!
Buying parts from Bricklink etc is really expensive in my experience. This must have been a fortune! Or is there another way for these builders to get bricks?
There's one other way if you're a member of an established LUG (Lego User Group), but other than that.. Bricklink is really the only way.
Buying up peoples collections when they decide to sell them - you'll end up with a lot of stuff you don't want but you can sell that stuff on - of course as he mentions here, old bricks can be discolored or rough looking.
Sure Lego in general is expensive. It's usually cheaper than buying direct from Lego through Bricks & Pieces.
Jack’s channel is so awesome, his modern Air Force One (and Marine one) is in the Air Force museum in Dayton, Ohio.
He needs to add some speakers in the wings and pump realistic sounds from the airbus. Give it the feeling of the APU's running on the tarmac or the engines running.
Does it also fly? ✈️👀🤣 No but seriously tho, this LEGO build is freakin’ amazing! Great job
Maybe he'll branch out into SpaceX Starships.
It flies like a Brick 🤣
I wondered if it actually rolled on its wheels for transport.
It will fly once 😁
👈👈👈✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️😱😱😱😱😱😱
Those wings are beautiful, it doesn't even look like Legos anymore, it's amazing
The flaps killed me! that level of detail is absolutely insane
I will pay a frightening amount of money for this for a set
Man I wish that I had even 1 percent of the creativity of this dude. Wow, just amazing, this guy is going to be able to write his own career path if he ends up in a professional vocation.
This Lego plane still has better build quality than a real Boeing
The A380 is an airbus
@@Concorde-72 thats the point
I used to be big into aviation and this is just incredible, absolutely mind blowing, the scale, the design, everything, I cannot express how incredible this is
This guy is so young and yet so talented. He must have an incredible amount of intelligence and creativity. Brilliant.
Airbus should buy a few of these for their office!
If this plane were also scaled weightwise, the model would only weight about 15lb! That tell you how light the real plane is in composite material!
The paper thing and estimating bricks was useful information. I never really knew how people even began to create large true to scale builds like this. Wish I had the budget and space to do something like this
This is the coolest and most detailed mini-fig scale build I've ever seen, I'm absolutely floored with the attention to detail and quality of this build.
This is a nice reminder that humans do awesome things.
There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.
-J. R. R. Tolkien
Emirates needs to contact this guy and give some props, this is amazing!
I was thinking the same thing. If Emirates haven't seen this build, they need too......and give Jack a complimentary flight in one of their A380s.
Be cool if they bought the model off of him to place in their HQ.
The load bearing Lego piece are sweating from this impressive build!
F in chat to the landing gear
If a future employer would be so rude to demand a job interview, he could just bring this plane under is arm. Genius
Dude, the fact that these flaps actually work is insane. What a great build.
No motorized leading edge slats ... shame . Might as well scrap the entire thing :)
I love the cross-sections. I would really enjoy to see WW2 planes cross-sectioned in LEGO.
That would be cool but Lego generally avoids military things.
@@imperialspy3457 It's not Lego who makes it. People normally design it themselves.
@@MeneTekelUpharsin true.
어릴때부터 시티제품의 비행기는 피규어에 비해 비정상적으로 좁다고 생각했는데 이거 보니 속이 후련하다
I can just imagine someone’s little brother ruining all of this 😭😭
Emirates should give him an offer for this project and display it!
The way he added all the details forced me to prepare for a "yes and this actually flies" comment.
attention to detail really makes this build shines, from internal furnishing, to making it look like an actual airline plane, amazing job!
Absolutely amazing !! I wish he told us how he does the markings.
I will definitely buy that if it is released as a Lego product.
That’s insane! From the lights, the ailerons and air brakes working, to the cross section and fully decorated interior 100/10
Jack's Exciting vibes is so contagious, i literally nodded and goes "oooh! ya ya ya!" with his explanation.
its so fun to see someone that so passionately about what they doing and sharing it to the world!
good job Jack!
I could see moments where you sense Norm's surprise by the level of detail. Obviously, he did some research before the video, but meeting Jack in person must be like... Talking sound with Suzanne Ciani.
I feel like Googling blueprints for a commercial airliner gets you put on a watchlist somewhere.
LEGO is just the best. So happy to watch such amazing work like this. I would love to know how much something like this would cost parts wise.
High four digit to low five digit number I'd assume
according to first result on google, LEGO piece is like 11 cents on avg, this A380 is estimated to have ~40k pieces, so it will be around $4.5k parts only (+electronics; + some premium packaging if it was official LEGO set; + surely i forgot about something), so we are looking at $5-6k price tag for set :P
An Amazing Lego video
I'd love to see a model of the An-225!
RIP, Myria.. Russians destroyed it.
Yes! the Dream would be awesome. Seeing the two together would be amazing.
Too soon lel.
Never thought I'd see him on here! I remember eagerly waiting for each update until it was complete throughout covid!
If LEGO made a commercial set from this it be more expensive than the original.
Lego’s truly have infinite possibilities. Which in my opinion is the greatest “toy” ever created
What a beautiful MOC! Besides, it's a Minifigure-Scale! Wow!
Who came in to see the making process?
Adam I have a tattoo of a ruler on my penis, somehow my work keeps failing me XD
Wow the wings tilt and the round shape is really impressive. I would have had to spend a decade trying to make that
Wow. Amazing. Kudos to Jack.
I'd build it in a heartbeat given the plans and access to the pieces!!!!!!
I met Jack last year at BrickFair Virginia, displaying his Air Force One MOC. It is an amazing MOC, and he’s a really nice guy.
I did want to hear the actual scale because depending on going by minifig height or width that can vary wildly. I prefer 1/35. Just kind of 'feels' right to me, unless you're building something where height is more relevant, then you might want to scew more towards 1/44(42? I forget.) Or, vice versa for long mocs, more like 1/25? I forget the numbers, but I generally go for 1/35 or stuff gets cramped.
Anyway, all of this to say, asking builders their actual scale when they say "minifig scale" is appreciated. And I love the build.
@@HisCarlnessI It’s at 1/40 which I views as a compromise between 1/35 and 1/45
@@BigPlanesCustomLEGOaircraft See, the range is more like 1/25 - 1/45. If you assume the Lego guy is 5'8", 5'9"? I forgets the math. But yeah, as I explained, it's a big arbitrary range. A lot of people go 1/40 or 1/42, but I find 1/35 to be just roomy enough that it doesn't feel like things are too crazy squished lengthwise.
@@HisCarlnessI Sometimes I'll build at 1/36 because its twice the size of 1/72 which is a common modeling size, but in this case when I'm already building a massive plane I decided to go with the slightly smaller scale.
100 pounnds! damn, i'm surprised that the lego wheels and tires can actually hold up that kind of weight. Lego really is overengineered.
Even though Mirja was destroyed, this great guy could try to build the An-225 model - the biggest jet plane built yet. Blueprints surely exist, and this would be nice tribute. And it would be something new, since its a cargo plane, so you would be making an interior with air transport containers and a whole system for that, instead of the passenger seats. You could even try to make a loading system for it.
Jack's brilliant, been following him since his first b29 moc, make sure to check out his channel, amazing!
I like this! Hearing what this platics engineer has to say about the process and how he textually understands lego and its limitations and builds around it. Cool hobby & beautiful art
I flew on one of these less than 12 hours ago what are the odds
Did Emirates sponsor this or how did he afford this many bricks?
Been following BigPlanes for a few years now. Awesome to see him and his work on this channel!
O, that's the dog tribute, Reddit's Brickest Boi, from earlier this week. - 0:11 .
This man has a bright future in aerospace (in Lego land aerospace that is) very impressive
Im a aviation fan so im just here for the plane
His planes just get bigger and bigger!
I bet he could make an amazing Nuclear Sub or International Space Station.
I love the dog 3D pic in the intro! So many inspired choices of pieces and so expressive.
This would look great next to the Minifigure scale fc Bayern stadium
Thanks for the interview Norm!
Pls I so bored with me plain simple lego JUST GIVE ME THE SET I GIVE MONEY IDC WETHER IT TOOK 9 MONTHS OR LESS I WANT
Really cool to learn the process! Thank you!
No way! I've been subscribed to this guy for years! So cool to see him on Tested!
And Lego has denied his builds becoming sets multiple times despite getting overwhelming amounts of community support
This would cost like, ten grand if it were an actual lego set.
LEGOが自分で自分の首を絞めている例だと思うのだけど。。。
レギュラーパーツでいかにそれらしいモノを作るかを楽しむ人が多かった頃が一番儲かったんだろうなあ〜
マニア向けに高額商品を作って利益を出せても、レギュラー商品が低年齢にしか売れなくなった。。。
Awesome!!!..
I wondering if lego made it as the same size like this how much it will goes??..
For Titanic and Star Wars Mill Falcon like $850...
I think.. maybe this worth $3000 if lego sell it...or $5000??
This was absolutely incredible. I wonder how much the parts costed in total, excluding the lights.
You should have gone to Brickworld and covered the BIONICLE video game, Masks of Power! Come on. Wasted opportunity right there! Love this video though, what an amazing build!!!
Jack's passion and attention to detail is awesome. Would love more updates from Tested on him.
this man needs an oscar and a sponsor from lego and any lego youtuber becauee he is just i dont know like super amazing and deserves a mega oscar
Is there a feature that makes the airplane doors fly off mid flight?
Thats boeing.
If Lego would sell this it would probably be 25k dollars.. 🤣🤣 but i‘d love to build it 😂😂😂 … they should do more big planes anyway ^^
OMG was so stressed watching Norm ‘talking’ with his arms in such close proximity to this guys hard work - seriously could not focus on the conversation hahaha 😅
Expectation: this video
Reality: Lego Airplane sets in Walmart.
I wish Lego itself could release a set something like this. Not like the exact size in this video but smaller but bigger than the og lego cargo plane set
Flew with Emirates to Dubai in 2011 & 2018 to Connect flights to Down under 🇭🇲,Love this creation here Jack , Obviously had a lot of patience to build with Technic Bricks and the wires for the working parts and other bits ,Well done 👍When I was a kid born in 1973 when I heard of Lego growing up,I built all-sorts now looking at this I am like OH WOW 😲😮😲Well done young man ♥️♥️♥️Best of luck with your next creation ,Hello from Scotland 🏴
Where do you get all the bricks you need for this? Lego? Do they just sell you spare bricks? And how do you finance it? It's insane....
Great stuff, but that double red light on the top is not a strobe light, but what we call a beacon light. We use it to signal to ground crew that the engines are running and it helps with extra visibility. It only flashes once instead of twice like the white Strobe lights on the end of the wing. I don't know how he got this wrong as he got it right on the bottom. Both the red lights on the top and bottom of the fuselage do the same thing. The nav lights (the steady on green and red lights on the ends of the wing) are correct and everything else looks good though!
What did u do to ur 737 it looks worse now
where can i buy pieces to build one?
This kid will have great future if he decides to go to design engineering. He needs to learn of course the programs, but biggest design computer is brain and he has that power on use. Another important thing is going to gym. It might be new too heavy to move in one piece, but put the effort in and one day it will feel feather light.
That’s bad a$$. The makers of Airbus should offer to buy that for a lot of money and display it at their headquarters. That way it’s not just sitting around in storage.
Wow!!! 12 year old me would be in a coma after seeing this... just brilliant 👍👍
(Also, i hope you got some sweet sponsorship deal from Emirates... like a couple first class tickets somewhere... surely this deserves it!!!)
Uh oh.... I used to work servicing the emirates a380 at dulles. There are a few small mistakes. No one tell him. It will keep him up at night if he knows.
How on earth can this possibly happened. God . . . Genius.
Considering he likes building stuff and seeing how things work I would think he would like a me mechanical watch instead of an Apple Watch.
"Hundreds of these in operation" 251 made only 129 in operation. They are literally being scrapped as there is no market for them and they are too costly to store.
