This is the world's first full-sized house built from Lego. James May’s colourful Lego home, complete with a fully plumbed Lego loo, bath and giant bed, is finally taking shape.

If building work goes to plan, it will be the world’s first full-size house made entirely from Lego – and the Top Gear presenter has promised to live in it.

It's not 100% Lego, but it's close. There's a timber "safety frame" inside the walls to provide an extra level of stability, which is probably for the best, and there are non-Lego lights and stuff, obviously. But it's still a whole lot of Lego. They have 3 million bricks on hand and may need more.
