zider Posted October 31, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2011 From millis glashaus Germany. Whoever has the chance to visit the maritime museum in Hamburg, will have the chance to see the QM2 in a different version... as LEGO- model ! It sure is worth a visit, especially after you have seen, how it was built: Just to mention a few things: LEGO (the company) did not support this challenge. A LEGO-brick-builder-colleague of my husband (from a German "Adult Fans of LEGO" (AFOLs)-Group) and his diligent helpers designed and created this really very well turned-out model of the original Queen Mary 2 - in the Dock-Elbe 17 - during dry dock works... the welder is "active" (Glass-Fiber-lights !) Just a few facts: the model is 7m long, needed 1 ton (1'000 kg) of LEGO bricks and 6 months building time.... and even the keel-laying is made 100% professional - with luck-coins ! That guy didn't forget anything... only the model was built befor the bridge got the extension on the bridge-wing... This is a link with real brilliant pictures.... look at the details ! Queen Mary 2 in Legos Here is a film of a visitor (makes a bit disy due to heavy moving, but shows some nice details..) Lego Schiff "Queen Mary 2" Maritim Museum Hamburg - YouTube And here are some more pictures of the model being finalized in the Museum... STEFAN MALZKORN - Fotografie (215 pictures, you have to start with the last picture in the album -No. 215 and move "backwards" to No. 1, then it's the correct building cycle). This is good very good.

capnpugwash Posted November 1, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Very clever, a little geeky but clever nonetheless. I think that the little people are great, they all look like Bob the Builder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leucothea Posted November 1, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2011 At least the Hamburg version still carries the name "Southampton". Do you think they'll change that to "Hamilton" also? Oh please, at least give us the lego version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
