    "The ship weighs more than a tonne," Ayaal Fyodorov, 28, told AFP, adding that it had taken him and his cosplayer friends around three months to build it. The sci-fi vessel, which stands four metres (13 feet) tall, has been made from fibreboard, metal and plastic foam. Image Credit: AFP

    The makers sought to meticulously recreate the spacecraft's interior and the vessel even has a lowering ramp and a seat for Baby Yoda, a small creature with whom the protagonist, Din Djarin, forms an unlikely bond. Image Credit: AFP

    "We were very much motivated to make it. As if we were inside the TV series and rebuilding the ship," Fyodorov said. He estimated the project cost more than 750,000 rubles ($10,200). Image Credit: AFP

    Fyodorov first used his savings, then sold his car, then asked ordinary Russians and companies to pitch in. He is proud of the result. "This is the only such cosplay ship in the world," he said, standing next to his creation. Image Credit: AFP

    "Honestly, I did not expect this to turn out so well," said Semyon Shishigin, head of Taragai Cinema, a local film studio, who recently brought his family to the park to look at the ship. Image Credit: AFP
