Hobbes Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 This is (gonna be) interesting... Note to self: order second Maersk asap. Quote
SuvieD Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 He's making it minifig scale? :oo That is costly hobby dedication. It is a good thing I don't want one of those ships. They will be gone before you know it. Quote
Hobbes Posted November 10, 2005 Author Posted November 10, 2005 I'd call it huge minifig-scale! This one's at a reasonable minifig-scale and shouldn't take more than two sets (and maybe some extra parts). Nonetheless, I can't wait till it's finished ;) Quote

Nonetheless, I can't wait till it's finished ;) i think the lego company and Maersk have build a very large ship like this as well. I guess it's on display at Maersk HQ : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=114781 i wouldn't want to build one, tho. the red and blue bricks would make it very expensive... Quote

The one in the 2nd pic isn't anywhere near minifig scale for me... look at the size of the containers, each one should be at least the size of a Lego car... God Bless, Nathan Quote

That ship had me interested from the beginning. At first I didn't recognize its scale, though. I thought it was about the size in the second link I posted. I came out of my dark ages a bit too late to buy it at S@H. So I had to buy it on ebay. Fortunately I found a good deal that cost me only a few cents more than retail (had to do without the box but I didn't care/mind). When I saw it was a bit smaller than I had thought I decided to one day build a bigger one similar to the one in the second link (that size is enough for me). ebay still was quite expensive, though. Then the 2005 edition came out but I still haven't gotten around to buying one. And at the moment my hobby room is a total mess which has to be "un-messed" before I attend big building projects. :) Quote
languages Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 WOW! Im definatley gonna get myself a Maersk ship.... Quote
Norro Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 before I attend big building projects.:) Well I'm looking forward to your works anyway : ) God Bless, Nathan Quote
