When you think of video game maps, the one forThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis undoubtedly among the most popular. Fans will be able to tell you where each city would be, and even point out some lesser points of interest. It’s probably the most traveled map in all of video games. However, one fan has brought his knowledge of the map to life.
YouTuberIan Roosmahas created perhaps the most detailed 3D map of Skyrim, using 73,761 Lego pieces. It doesn’t just include the major cities, but every landmark, lighthouse, shrine, shack, and giant cave that’s illustrated on the map from the game. This massive map is one of the most impressive Lego builds you’ll see.
Skyrim Map Made Of Lego Is Eight Feet Wide
As spotted byGameSpot, Ian Roosma’s creation took “more than 3 years to design/build, is 8 feet wide and 6.3 feet tall, and includes 292 locations/landmarks. There are 5,776 trees and full topographic details showing rivers, waterfalls, and elevation changes from the north sea to the Throat of the World.” It’s an absolutely stunning piece of art.
The detailing on the map is just unbelievable. Not many would pay attention to individual trees, but their dedication to the creation of Skyrim’s map has seen them place 5,776 trees. It’s not just green cones, they’ve even swapped out colours for the map’s frigid and warmer sections.
They’ve even raised and dropped the leveling based on Skyrim’s topography. Just to give you an idea, the difference between the lowest pint and the highest point is 44 layers. As you can imagine, a build as intricate as this would require a lot of planning. It took Roosma nine months only to plan the build. That probably includes mapping out what goes where, collecting all the pieces (which would not have been cheap), and even finding room to place such a massive project.
Before this they tried their hand at the map of Hyrule from the original Legend of Zelda. While it was pretty good, it was nowhere as impressive as this map of Skyrim.
