Ask any kid, everything looks better in LEGO. Inspired by a 5-year-old LEGO fan, a Rolls-Royce location in Derby, U.K. has debuted a replica of a jet engine made entirely out of LEGO bricks.

The LEGO version of the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine is more than 6 and a half feet long, half the size of its real-life counterpart.
