Yep, that is really amazing.

One of my favourites is the U-boat With Dry Dock

Both of the Lego vessels are amazing. Good job.

Thanks for posting Jim and Meo.

Yes, very cool stuff. Glad you fellers had your eyes open... did they use any of it in the new Lego's Batman Movie?

...

Every once in a while, you think "that'd be a cool job to have..." and then I remember Christmas 2004... never again...

I do not have the patience to put much more than a tiny skateboard together, much less an airplane - or a carrier... Even Lincoln Logs stress me anymore...

Wish I'd had Legos when I was a kid; I did have Lincoln Logs, Tinker-Toys, and some sort of brick building kit whose name I can't remember; didn't have an Erector Set because my mother thought I might injure myself with the steel parts; the irony of the Erector Set situation was I was so good at assembling various things from the Lincoln Logs, etc., my mother would 'volunteer' my services to other people to aid them in assembling bicycles and other metal assemblies, which usually meant I alone did the work while my mother and her friends gossiped. At least, I did develop a knack for sussing out how to assemble and fix a large range of objects. Kids really should have a balance between being immersed in new tech and the opportunity to engage more manual, tactile experiences...

I think my son might have enough LEGO soon for a full-sized aircraft carrier
