N-11 Ordo Recreates a Mass Effect Vehicle Using LEGO

— June 25, 2012 — Life-Stages
N-11 Ordo is a Flickr user who regularly posts images of the inventive, accurate and playful LEGO creations he makes. His latest efforts yielded this remarkable recreation of the UT-47 Kodiak Drop Shuttle, a vehicle found in the Mass Effect game series. Truly stunning is the amount of detail N-11 Ordo put into his work as he replicates the smooth angles and details of the game model down to a tee. He also painstakingly made the Cerberus logo and other visual flourishes that adorn the sides of the shuttlecraft.

N-11 Ordo explains that the UT-47 Kodiak Drop Shuttle was one of the most difficult objects to build. Though a lot of stability had to be sacrificed for accuracy’s sake, N-11 Ordo nevertheless managed to fit working doors onto the LEGO creation.
