Normally when people say they have a LEGO Master Chief, it's a little guy with a yellow head wearing green space equipment. Not Nathan Sawaya's Master Chief bust. No surprise, really, as he's a professional LEGO artist. (Thanks, Temidien) Check out the highlights for today:

I'm pretty sure he sells his art like any other artist (and I think Lego Land has some of his work). I remember reading about him a few years ago after he was featured in PSM (Playstation Magazine) for making a replica of the boomerang controller (that was originally gunna be the PS3 controller) out of legos.

just a bust? pfff. I'll be impressed when I see a full scale lego (or blocko) model.

Do you have any idea how much lego pieces cost nowadays?

A Professional Lego Artist makes 2-3 times more than a Mega Block Carver FYI

i bet a dollar that a program can be/already is written to take a 3d render of master chief (or anything) and map it out into a lego blueprint.

p.s. i recently fell into a small fortune ($70) and have narrowed it down to COD4, Mass Effect, and Orange Box. anyone with all three care to help a brother out with a recommendation?

Buy CoD4 (because of the multiplayer replayability) and rent Mass Effect (which is worth a play-thru).
I played Half-Life 2 on the original xBox so I am not going to get it for portal and TF2. If you have a computer, try and pick those two up as standalone titles.
