The main model is intended as wall art, 40 cm wide and 65 cm tall. With a simple frame and a 3-plate-thick structured layer, Freddie’s body is ’emerging’ from the wall plane, giving a 2.5-dimensional effect to the build. The massive parts—legs, torso, and left arm—are fixed to the plane with stud connections, while the rest of the components (arms, feet, and head) are carefully put together with ball joint connectors. The model is almost entirely built from brick, plate, slope, and tile elements, taking advantage of the LDU ratios and the relatively large size of the model.

The wall art is accompanied by a minifigure-scale setting of Freddie Mercury playing Bohemian Rhapsody at Wembley Stadium in July 1986, on a Steinway concert grand piano—a magnificent and massive 9 ft instrument that became just as iconic for Queen’s tour as Freddie’s outfit.

The piece count of the model was created so that the total number of parts is 1986, honoring the year of Wembley… More here.

Would I buy this if it was released? Yes, of course I would.
