This priest recreated the Vatican using half a million Lego pieces

And to mark his coming to America, one priest has taken it upon himself to re-imagine the Vatican's image in Lego form.

Father Bob Simon spent 10 months crafting a model of St Peter's Basilica and St Peter's Square, reportedly using over half a million pieces of Lego.

And there you were thinking your model of the Starship Enterprise was impressive.

The sculpture is on display as part of an exhibition on the history of the Vatican at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
