This year at BrickVention, one model truly stole the show. From this angle, it just looks like a large plane model - impressive already, but not particularly unique. The backside, however, shows a realistic cross-section of the plane - the entire QF A380 has been rendered in perfect minifig-scale, interior cabin and all. There are easter eggs (characters, movie references) and accurate details (three floors, chairs for first and second class, bathrooms, a cockpit, landing gear, etc). A mix of NXT and Power Functions components automate some of the features. Did I mention that the jet engines actually spin?

This model uses the very difficult approach of covering every single LEGO® stud. Slopes, curves, tiled plates, specialized parts and the sides of bricks make up every visible surface of the model. Some studs-not-on-top effects were used to make this work smoothly all the way around as well. I'd love to see how this looks under the hood!
This is Tuesday's model of the day
