Wednesday is LEGO day at Fenway Park, and that will include the unveiling of a life-size LEGO model of David Ortiz.

The model stands 6-foot-7 from his cleat to the top of his left finger, weighs 170 pounds and required 34,510 bricks to build.

We caught up with LEGO Master Builder Erik Varszegi, who oversaw the construction of LEGO Ortiz, at the company’s North American headquarters in Enfield, Connecticut.
