Once paid a small fortune fpr an 8' pre-moulded fibre resin hull of the HMS Illustrious and most of the necessary parts for above deck (jets, choppers, lifeboats etrc.) in preparation of building a fully working radio controlled model.

15 years later.....still up in the loft gathering dust :cry:

Safety boots required for this project.
Leggo is the most painful thing to step on after rusty nails.

:yep:

I've stepped on my children's Lego so many times over the years that nowdays when that happens, the pieces fit into the block holes that were previously gouged out of my soles. :dead:

Don't feel too bad. I bought a 1/96th scale Revel model of the USS Constitution back in the mid 1970s and I still haven't finished it. Even worse every time i move it gets a bit more damaged.

I looked at those pictures and the first thing I thought was: "Needs anti-aliasing. When's the patch coming out?"

That is actually the new Royal Navy carrier, owing to cutbacks, it is all we in dear old Blighty can afford. HMS Legover.

However it does mean that it is easy to apply disruptive camouflage for operations any part of the world quite easily, by just mixing up different coloured lego bricks.

HMS Legover.
Sounds like a bad chat up line, only for use by men pretending to be sailors. :p

At least that way you'd find out for sure if it could float :lol:

I built a Lego submarine when I was a kid. It was designed to sink and it promptly did so to the bottom of our backyard pool. :oops:

I had the opposite problem with my little lego 688, darn thing wouldn't sink, had to open it up and put stones in it....then it wouldn't surface! :lol:

Lego needs to build mini compressed air tanks and pumps :yep: :lol:

It floats alright, but will it blend? That is the question.

not only that if you dont dry lego out it does smell after a while.
