How To Build A Massive LEGO Ship
August 30, 2018 by John Konrad



Lego makes ridiculously cool MAERSK Lego ship kits but if you really want to impress your friends you’ll need to purchase haze grey blocks in bulk and build your own. You’ll also need to find an instruction manual. Luckily LEGO master builder John Hagerman has your back with detailed instructions for building a half dozen ships including the Titanic, Britannic and USS Missouri.

Here is timelapse video of John building his own 7’10” Model of the USS Missouri. His model weighs over 30 pounds, floats in his pool and contains over 10,000 LEGO bricks! Bravo Zulu John for a job well done but… why did you have to sink her?!?

On a serious note, though, that is one cool Lego project. . .

Pretty cool.

I wouldn't mind having the 10,000 bricks they used to make it.

The Amazing Life-size LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron that DRIVES!

The state fair had a 8 foot model of the Titanic. It was made from a Lego like system.
The model was driven up from Oregon and set up two days before the fair started. During the night, it fell over and hit the concrete floor. It didn’t shatter but enough pieces fell apart to make just putting it back impossible.
Learned later the team had to rush up from Oregon and work all night.
No, I never learned how the fall happened.

Fixed it for ya!

When I was a kid growing up in KCMO pre-1966 I remember going to a museum in an old mansion that had a huge scale model of the Missouri
that took up an entire room. Any one from that place and time remember where that was?
