LEGO Battleship Yamato Completed!

You really have to admire the devotion, attention to detail, and possible nascent insanity of some LEGO builders.

Back in the fall of 2007, fellow GeekDad Don Shump wrote about a 100,000-piece LEGO recreation of the Japanese battleship Yamato that was then in process. LEGO craftsman Jun Brick (which, if the Japanese classes I took nearly twenty years ago are anything to go by, is definitely not his real name) has recently completed the amazing 1:40 scale model. If you think the picture here is impressive, see the full gallery on his website (with frames, unfortunately).

I hope he likes it where it is, though, because I can’t imagine how it could successfully be moved.
