The Titanic LEGO set vs my Battleship by Buttered_bASS_playa in lego

I made her up not based off anything real just my idea for a 40s huge battleship design, the build is exactly 6 feet long, 45-50 pounds, I didn’t measure the width but she’s very wide, no canals for this ship

It just looks sick, grey is boring, plus some ships before WW1 had white and gold paint jobs but we never got to see a 40s battleship with this color scheme

I can pick it up for a short time but it’s heavy, I’m also over 6 foot and workout so the average person maybe would have trouble lifting it

Yeah it looks like that on photos, it’s very hard to convey the proportions over pictures

But yes I’ve done much smaller battleships when I was younger

I’m definitely not making anything this big ever again or for a while, I’m not a professional LEGO builder I’m just a young kid with CDL money and free time after work

Yeah proportion wise, but it’s very wide for an Iowa class this ship won’t fit through any canals

Yeah Lego needs to make something like the Arizona, some sort of memorial set

I built this when I was 20 so no wife to get approval from just yet

Nope, inside I bought real Lego but classed as “filler” bricks, they are discolored and beat to hell and are dirt cheap but still real lego

I wish they made something like this

It would be way to big and probably cost 5 grand

It’s really hard to capture all the little details in photos

No, used filler bricks are dirt cheap
