He's built the ['Halo' helmet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-video-game-franchise) entirely out of these building blocks (with the exception of the visor of course), with the inside padded with cut-up squares of mattress for comfort. If this doesn't amaze you, you should know that this piece is actually [life-size](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifesize-lego-technic-mclaren-p1).
