Hey everyone,

I've seen some amazing Lego builds recently, I've been looking at some
beautiful Lego statues, mostly the ones in the Lego shops around the world. Ones
like the life-size Lego Buzz and Woody from Toy Story.

I would love to make one as a project, I know it's an extremely long shot
but is there anyway to get instructions to a build to this scale like the images
below? I would love the instructions to a Buzz or Woody one. I know there are
catalog listings of a few but no instructions or how to acquire them are listed.

Thanks,
The Cute Giraffe

I thought that was how you got orders.  But maybe it only works for sellers?

How to get instructions? https://store.bricklink.com/wildchicken13

In all seriousness, I think the life-size LEGO sculptures you see at LEGO stores
are built by specialized artists. For example, this article about the LEGO factory
in the Czech Republic mentions what the LEGO Group calls "model builders":
https://www.lego.com/en-us/history/articles/h-setting-up-in-the-czech-republic

They may use some sort of plan to help guide the construction, but I highly doubt
that they go through the trouble of producing step-by-step building instructions
like those made for regular sets.

Wow what a beautiful build. But I don't know how they do that every day with
bare fingers. I would have expected some specialized tools. My fingers get
sore and scratched just building a regular set.
