did we sink it?

5/2/2009 2:25:54 PM

yes, during the battle of Okinawa

5/2/2009 2:30:40 PM

so is the boat built to scale based on the fact that the lego men are japanese or american lego dudes?

5/2/2009 2:35:51 PM

Lego men are asian, they are yellow.

This photoset documents a guy constructing the H.M.S. Hood in a similar scale:

that is nice. both are really. I wish i had the time/legos to do something like that

5/2/2009 6:16:14 PM

i wonder how much he spent on legos.

those things aren't cheap.

5/2/2009 6:23:02 PM

no they aint.

once your building on that scale you might as well buy a MIG welder and a plasma cutter and do it with thin steel, cost wise.

It is awesome though.

5/2/2009 7:02:42 PM

i bet you could get someone to commission you for a build like that and pay for the materials cost

legoy amato.

fucking sweet.

5/3/2009 12:40:52 AM

i wish i had an infinite number of legos, so i could build some shit like that

5/3/2009 12:42:05 AM

don't forget the infinite amount of time you would need as well.

that would be sweet though.

5/3/2009 12:42:43 AM

gay ass bruckheimer(sp?) music

5/3/2009 12:43:02 AM

my mom threw all my legos away i think.

5/3/2009 12:51:04 AM

mine are all at my mom's house, in the attic with the micro machines.

5/3/2009 12:52:01 AM

i got a bucket when i was like 4 that i still have...always kept the majority of them in there

5/3/2009 12:53:28 AM

i have like 3 or 4 crazy big boxes full of them. i have retarded amounts of legos.

5/3/2009 12:54:39 AM

i had so many legos as a kid, for a good 8 year period i think its all i ever wanted for birthdays, holidays, etc. i had a bunch of the castle sets and pirate sets. now, they are all gone.

5/3/2009 12:55:39 AM

i was more on the poorer side of growing up...i saw someones set once and was almost like "dude, you have too many legos" lol

5/3/2009 12:56:15 AM

i wasnt rich at all, but if i was gonna get a gift, it was gonna be legos

5/3/2009 12:56:57 AM

^^^ they were pretty much all i wanted as a kid too. i still get one little set a year for xmas as a tradition. i always laugh at the random ones my mom finds.

^yeah, me either. i'd sacrifice dinner for some legos.

shit i hope u keep them...i bet in like fitty yurs they gonna be antkes

5/3/2009 12:58:07 AM

serious question here. how does one go about building a model like that (regardless of the medium) without a set of drawings? Seems like it would be impossible to get the proportions correct just by using the eyeball method.

5/3/2009 1:00:39 AM

i'm sure there was forethought there. i wouldn't believe he just did that all in his head.

it looks like some of those pieces were custom too. at least, i haven't seen some of those kinds of pieces before.

5/3/2009 1:02:04 AM

man i wish so bad i had all my legos, i guarantee you i would bust them out and start building like i was 10 again. I want to actually go to the lego store when it comes to the mall. now that i have a job, i can see myself buying a bunch of legos again just because they are still so damn cool.

5/3/2009 1:02:33 AM

i got to check that place out a couple weeks ago before it opened (not sure if it is now). it looked fantastic.

5/3/2009 1:04:30 AM

so its about open? what all do they have there, do they have old sets as well as new?

5/3/2009 1:05:48 AM

so did y'all make your own creations or just follow the instructions?

i only had a couple of the kits, but i had a huge bucket of random pieces my mom bought me at a yard sale. i just made up all kinds of multi-colored shit. i had an awesome combine one time.

5/3/2009 1:08:36 AM

i used the sets and often modified them, like castles n pirate ships n stuff.....then had major battles and blew everything up n rebuilt it
