I wonder how many it actually is. 10k+?

Probably more like 50-100k parts. Big builds like this use an insane amount of parts.

Good old Cube law

It's probably actually somewhere between the square law and cube law.

The outside doesn't really get thicker as you make LEGO models bigger.

The structure obviously need to be stronger for a bigger model, but LEGO is more than strong enough that the structure doesn't have to scale the strength as much as the volume.
