This guy has way too much time on his hands....

His model is now the largest Lego ship in the world, measuring 4.5m (14.7ft) and weighing more than 160kg (353lb).

It has eaten up hundreds of hours in the planning and many more in its construction.

His mission was to copy the life-size carrier down to the tiniest detail, even its lifebelts.

He was undaunted by the fact that the real thing carries 85 warplanes and more than 5,000 airmen and crew.

...or how much did he neglect his kids to build it? I wouldn't mind seeing the small fortune he spent to build it either, probably blew the kids college fund. lol

Hell, I would buy it if I had the money. Wonder how much shipping would cost though... Damn. Might have to go by freight.

USPS and UPS both refused to ship something that big when I tried to get a quote on their site.

If there's one thing he forgot to make, an working engine from legos.

Yeah, but that would probably make it even less watertight then it already is. I can only imagine where he stores that thing; probably in a local museum or something.
