The creator of The Pinokio 1 Lamp (which one can only assume has a functioning bulb) Shanshan Zhou, a digital media student at the Victoria University of Wellington in NZ, sez:

This 1:1 scale rebel fighter, built from 5,335,200 bricks, is 42 times larger than the LEGO 9493 X-Wing model it’s based on.
