Boffin builds Star Wars AT-ACT in his garden

Madcap inventor Colin Furze has created a replica of the giant Imperial war machine outside his house.
It's the ultimate answer to what you get a young Star Wars fan for Christmas - a 20ft tall playhouse modelled after an AT-ACT from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story which debuts later this week.

The spectacular creation, which is a perfectly scaled up version of a smaller model, took one month to put together and even has its own retractable stairs to enable easy access.

Inside, the playhouse is a Star Wars fan's dream come true with everything from games and toys to working controls that enable the 'pilot' to move the head and front guns of the AT-ACT around.

A video showing what the replica is like both inside and out can be viewed below.
