Anyone thinking they’ll compete with an Ohio man in a neighborhood Halloween decorating contest should just pack up the pumpkins, bury the zombies and try again next year.

Nick Meyer has built a nearly full-sized replica of an All Terrain Armored Transport from "Star Wars." Most people know them as AT-ATs, The Associated Press reported.

He used wood, foam and plastic barrels to build the four-legged walker from the "Star Wars" film franchise. It is almost the same height as his two-story house, Cleveland.com reported.

The building project was months in the making as Meyer started collecting everything back in April and has been working on the AT-AT over the past few months.

It took about two days to actually install the walker with the help of friends.

Meyer told Cleveland.com that despite appearances to the contrary, like the two-story AT-AT, he's not a fanatic when it comes to "Star Wars."
