This Ship Goes to Eleven

Or, at least, it has the number “11” on the side… Unless those are Ls. Regardless, this ship by Nate Daly makes an impression. It’s his first attempt at build a space ship in the coveted 100+ stud class, and I think he’s done a great job.

There are plenty of nice details throughout, and the color blocking is well done. My favorite thing about it, though, is the crew. Many builders, when building a ship this long, declare it to be a battleship, or drednaught, or something else with a huge crew. Not Nate, though, he calls it a frigate, and gives it a tiny crew. Bravo, Nate.

Malle Hawking’s LEGO USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier is 16 feet long

German builder Malle Hawking (Weebleleezer on Brickshelf) has been working on a minifigure-scale LEGO model of the US Navy aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman (CVN-75). My friends and coworkers have been sending around e-mails with links to a site that has a few pictures of this huge ship, but doesn’t have much information — not even the name of the builder — so I did a bit of digging, found the builder on Brickshelf, and contacted him to find out a bit more about his massive project.
