Talk about a Seriously Huge Investment in Parts, this massive Maersk vessel offers plenty of space for all your cargo hauling needs. Builder Simon Liu, one of the founders of the SHIPtember prompt, has created yet another masterpiece to add to the ranks of this year’s armada. Built to scale with the New Hashima city collaboration that Simon previously contributed to, this cargo freighter will be added to the display as they attempt to make the whole city three times larger. When landed, this gigantic hauler will fit right in with the towers of the current skyline.

Built for a crew of five, the bulk of the ship is taken up by the plethora of impressively designed containers, which Simon developed to be uniform but wholly customizable on the outside. He used some delightful color choices to reference classic themes like Ice Planet, Blacktron, and Octan. He also shows some representation with a pride container mixing a rainbow over layer with a trans pride flag laid underneath. Of course, fans were also quick to point out the Weiland-Yutani container. Hopefully nothing wayward is hidding amongst its cargo, otherwise the “Wake me up, when” will become the “Wake me up, never.”

Those in the know will recognize the sheer audacity of Maersk-blue pieces which Simon got his hand on through a much appreciated loan from builder Alec Doede. Those are pretty rare colored pieces for him to use in such quantities so it is almost ridiculous that he has as much as he does. In addition to the coloration Simon also decked the ship out with plenty of Maersk logos and typeface to make it fit the bill. A single pilot manages the navigation from between the enormous quad engines. Simon makes use of a mind ending amount of techniques in his complex builds and even if he was running a bit late thanks to life’s curveballs, he managed to pull it off.

Yet again, Simon Liu shows his chops as one of the most legendary AFOL builders out there. Those of us that attribute part of our inspiration to him keep coming back to his designs because of the character and timelessness of his builds. They’re always worth a closer look, even years later. Keep up the good work, LEGO Dad.
