"When I tell people I'm an artist, most people probably assume I'm painting or drawing," says Nathan Sawaya. "I actually sculpt out of Lego bricks." But this is hardly child's play. His brightly colored sculptures sell for tens of thousands of dollars and exhibit in museums. "I take on all challenges, so there isn't anything I can not build." And that includes Lego Rachael! "I wanted to capture her smile, capture her eyes and make sure those looked right," says Nathan, as he reveals his masterpiece to applause. "I dig Lego Rach," says the real-life Rachael.

Online exclusive! Get a closer look at the sculpture, and hear Nathan's reaction to revealing Lego Rachael to the real Rachael in this backstage clip!
