Mr Opstad, who worked on Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror, said on Twitter: 'Been isolating at home with my wife and kids for a week now.
'For my contribution to home schooling my kids, I chose the most obvious thing - creating a shot-by-shot recreation of the jet pack sequence from Thunderball out of LEGO.'

Mr Opstad replied with pictures of Ollie and Alice working on the incredible Lego set.
Another person put: 'This is utterly brilliant... maybe you’ve just mapped out your children’s futures??'
And one woman added: 'This is wonderful! The effort and skill is remarkable. A somewhat intimidating example but a reminder for adults to just get stuck in with their kids, add to meditative activities like colouring-in or try Lego play at work (even virtual).'
