Demonstrating the kind of industriousness that Andrew Ryan would appreciate, Lego builder Imagine Rigney has constructed an incredible cross-section of Rapture, including the plane crash that opens BioShock and numerous meticulously-recreated locations from the game.
There’s impressive attention to detail in both the interiors and exteriors, with miniaturized posters from the game adorning the walls and blue-tinted lighting evoking the oceanic environment.
Rigney created this set for Chicago’s Brickworld 2011, going on this week. Be sure to check out the full gallery of shots.

Amazing! Truly.
Assuming Rigney thought process upon completion:
“It was not impossible to build Lego Rapture at my house. It was impossible to build it anywhere else.” 😉

well done
elliotaw | June 16, 2011 1:57 pm
Incredible! Lego remains a diverse modeling tool.
So uh… ahem… any news on official BioShock lego sets?

Wow truly an awesome piece of art. Everyone should def check out the full gallery of shots for all the impressive room shots. I got two questions, How many man hours this work took to compete? How many lego pieces went into it?!!!

Well, now I really want to get back into Lego building.
michaelm624 | June 16, 2011 5:27 pm
Wow Thats awesome 😀
Is there a video for this??
lustrick | June 16, 2011 6:49 pm
Wow. That look’s amazing, i’m so tempted to buy legos just for this. Great job.
artdecowhale | June 16, 2011 9:29 pm
My goodness, the builder’s attention to detail is commendable!
batchick21 | June 16, 2011 10:11 pm
That is extremely incredible, what amazing detail put into it all.

LEGOs have been some of my favorite toys for over 35 years. I *still* play with them! LOL. There are at least 6 or 7 sets right now in my living room. But this….this is a work of art. Stunning design elements and attention to detail. Since people can now create their own custom kits to be sold on Lego.com, I wonder how much all these parts would cost……?
chrisredfield | June 16, 2011 11:41 pm
To Rigney: Would You Kindly tell us just how many pices this took to create???
imagine | June 19, 2011 10:49 pm
You used the words no Bioshock fan can refuse. I don’t know for sure, but I’m estimating I used between 18,000 – 20,000 pieces. Thanks for asking so kindly. 🙂
warsmith13 | June 17, 2011 12:04 am
lol WOW now this is…how should i describe it: Epic, Amazing, Awesome, sweet, incredible. yeah think that pretty much sums it up.
excuseforjuice | June 17, 2011 12:13 am
That is friggin’ incredible. I can’t imagine how much time and how many pieces went into that masterpiece. I think this might be the unofficial announcement for LEGO Bioshock, the game!
artdecowhale | June 17, 2011 2:02 am
I spy with my little eye… Admiral Ackbar lodged in the building’s exterior wall? Incredible!
imagine | June 19, 2011 10:52 pm
Congratulations you found him! I try to slip him in to my builds. Now this is when he shouts “It’s a Trap!” and uses a teleportation plasmid and disappears.
justincavnor | June 17, 2011 3:36 am
LEGO plasmid!
rye0077r | June 18, 2011 12:09 am
HOLY CRAP! Very nice!
durandan | June 18, 2011 4:04 am
I’m glad I don’t have any LEGO creations near me right now. I think I would destroy them in shame. That is a really great piece of work you have there.
juan29zapata | June 18, 2011 12:45 pm
Oh, wow, that’s awesome! We need Bioshock Lego sets now!
