Lego ArtistNathan Sawaya - one of the only six certified Lego professionals in the world , three in the US - will do a full - sizing scale of measurement Lego reproduction of yourself for $ 60,000 . You just have to order it from Neiman Marcus , send some picture , and Nathan will make your natural - size 8 - bit translation . give his rates , that amount is quite reasonable and , coincidentally , our remaining budget for the residual of the year . Now I just have to come in with an excuse to order one of myself and get another $ 60,000 to buy one of Uma Thurman . Update : Nathan came to us with some particular about this study .
Jesús Díaz : On middling , how many pieces would it take to do one of these ? Nathan Sawaya : I do n’t keep trail of how many pieces I use in a sculpture because it would get a bit tedious . But I am guess around 15,000 - 25,000 individual brick . JD : As you are an statue maker , you work straight from realness , no digitizing physical process needed . How many picture do you involve to do your study ? NS : Ideally , I would like 16 photos : Eight full body photos from 360 degrees , and eight of the face and promontory from 360 degrees . JD : Have you done one of these already ? Any famous masses ? NS : I did myself , does that weigh ? severely , the only other full body adult that I have done so far happens to be Stephen Colbert .
