I don't like it - it has no point!
And that QR code at the beginning on the wall, what is it for?
It makes no sense!

if you have to use glue too keep stuff in place, you might just as wel use any other material available to create this...
and they didn't even finish it

Why do not these people target their efforts in something really useful. They are still engineers.

Why glue :( . I know, the construction would be to heavy. But you can never build something else.

Still very cool build.

Agree with #9
Lego doesn't need to be glued. That's a shame to glue Lego bricks :'(

It was interesting to watch but sad the video is incomplete and couldn't see the fully built engine.

I bet you can't buy these Lego pieces in the shops, probably a bespoke special order :(

probably a corporate build for rolls royce (like orange county choppers), dont want knob jockeys taking bits off of the model.
i'm nearly sure a lot of the models in legoland in windsor are glued..again defence against more knob jockeys.
i'm sure its meant to be a cut away model for the industry knob jockeys to look at the insides of the engine too.

Very cool. From the home page of Bright Bricks they say that this is "a working model of a Rolls Royce aircraft engine". I don't know what they mean by "working" in this context - it's hardly going to get an aircraft off the ground! But very impressive nevertheless.

Actually, they didn't show HOW TO make it, like the man at the beginning promised. Instead it was all about them doing it >:)

Looks like my question (at #18) has been answered in this BBC article:
