In an extraordinary display of creativity and dedication, a passionate Skyrim enthusiast has reconstructed the game's entire landscape using an astonishing 73,761 LEGO bricks. This monumental project captures every detail of Tamriel's northern province, from the towering Throat of the World to the bustling streets of Whiterun.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim features one of the most expansive open-world maps in gaming history, spanning approximately 15 square miles of explorable terrain. The LEGO recreation faithfully represents all nine holds, complete with their distinctive geographical features and hundreds of recognizable landmarks that players have come to love over the years.

The mastermind behind this incredible build is Ian Roomasa, a Guinness World Record holder known for his large-scale LEGO projects. His Skyrim map measures an impressive 8 feet wide and 6.3 feet tall (243 cm × 192 cm), constructed with 44 layers of bricks to achieve accurate topographic representation. The project took three years to complete, including nine months of meticulous planning.

Key Statistics of the LEGO Skyrim Project

  • Total LEGO bricks used: 73,761
  • Handcrafted trees: 5,776
  • Recognizable locations included: 292
  • Construction time: 36 months
  • Dimensions: 8' × 6.3' (243 × 192 cm)

Ian explained his motivation: "This project perfectly combined my love for Skyrim with the technical challenge of designing something massive yet detailed. Capturing the elevation changes, rivers, and iconic landmarks in LEGO form was incredibly rewarding."

The gaming community has celebrated this achievement as one of the most ambitious Skyrim fan projects ever created. When Ian shared his work on YouTube, fans flooded the comments with praise, many calling it the ultimate tribute to Bethesda's masterpiece.

This isn't Ian's first foray into LEGO cartography. In 2021, he set the Guinness World Record by building Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda using 25,000 bricks. His Skyrim project nearly triples that scale, shattering his own record for largest video game map constructed with LEGO.

When asked about future projects, Ian admitted he might take a break from large-scale LEGO builds. "After three years of working on this, I'm looking forward to enjoying The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered without thinking about brick counts," he joked.
