Minifig scale US Navy aircraft carrier
One of the most amazing LEGO models I’ve seen has recently been making the rounds of all the LEGO blogs. And this one is no exception. It’s just that good. It’s the USS Harry S. Truman, minifig scale - complete with a full complement of aircraft!
Wow!
I mean really, wow!
Click the image to see the rest of the pics.
The creator is a German LEGO fan named Malle Hawking, also known as “Weebleleezer.” Lacking skills in the German language that’s about all I could find on him. Look at his Brickshelf account for a few other creations which are quite good, but not nearly on the same scale.
What I want to know is, where did he get all those grey bricks? That must represent a fortune in LEGO plates and bricks. I’m not sure I could build a ship that big even without regard to color, but all in grey? Like I said before, wow.

Hi Bill,
Malle sent me some details about his ship, which I posted on my blog a while ago (before he completed it).
It’s an amazing accomplishment that shows great dedication to his subject matter and to our hobby. Wow indeed.
