Temperato, who goes by the name RevM, says he stores the kit – which took him 20 years to complete – at Lakeville’s Breath of Worship Church. The 56-year-old temperate works there. He also plays his massive game there. «I use it to worship God,» he told WTEN in 2011. «We love to get the word of God in a very different way.» At the time, the kit boasted a mere 340 pieces and OWR was not ranking the category.

This record is registered by the two major World Record Organisations, Official World Record, and Guinness World Records.
