This full-scale Type R model is made from 320,000 Lego bricks and took 1300 hours to build!

 Only a few weeks ago McLaren revealed its latest Lego creation - a Senna made from 467,854 bricks, Now Honda has entered the fray with this Type R.

Being built primarily to plug the new ‘Lego Masters’ show airing on Australia’s Channel Nine in a few days, it’s arguably not quite as fancy as the aforementioned Senna, which had working doors and a beautifully-recreated interior, and you can’t drive it like Bugatti's drivable Lego Chiron.

But in saying that, the level of detail is undoubtedly impressive, with - unusually, for one of these models - all wheels and tyres reproduced using Lego bricks.

A chap called Ryan McNaught was out in charge of a team of nine for the build. He’s a bonafide ‘Lego Certified Professional’, by the way, which might just be the best job title ever! 320,000 Lego bricks are supported by a steel frame, and the awesome creation was assembled over 1300 hours.

working headlights, DRLs, fog lights, hazard lights, brake lights and reversing lights. All of these can be controlled via an iPad.

If you’re thinking the Civic’s rather angular design made it a tricky thing to replicate in Lego, you’d be right. “We’ve loved the challenge of this project. The car is shaped with a considerable amount of curved lines, making it a tough but interesting build,” McNaught said.

Fancy an up-close look? The Lego Type R will be displayed in various places across Australia in the next few months.
