That's glorious. I'm no raving Yamatomaniac, but that's an achievement.
I'd make one, but I work exclusively in the medium of Gummi.
That's fucking amazing.
That's impressive right there. 22 feet long and 200,000 bricks? I wonder how much that thing weighs.

Ah Poland. What a terrible place.
I wonder how much this stuff costs. Even little lego cars and things cost over £5 these days....
And where do they get all the special bits?
Awesomly awesome though, better even than the lego super star destroyer.
Actually, there's all kinds of LEGO builders for PC out there. One even offers supposedly photorealistic rendering:

I'd like to see pics of the insides from the construction process.
I wonder if Lego provide free/discount bricks for these guys.

The builder was a Pole. As such, he probably believes the national story that the Jews of the Holocaust were beaten to death by heroic Polish patriots, not evil German Nazis.

So Neil, why do you love battleships so much more than carriers? Is it the phallic symbolism inherit in the guns?

Because the dreadnought battleship was the apex of symmetrical, hierarchical naval warfare, which I find intellectually pleasing. It is also the most important naval weapon of the late Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian eras, a period that I am interested in.

Carriers are lame. It's not even a naval battle, the attack comes from the air. :lol:

Roughly. Depending on what was used for internal bracing, I'd estimate anywhere from 1,050 lbs to 1,300 lbs.

A lot of us "hardcore" LEGO MOC builders are also not adverse to painting parts or cutting them with an exacto knife, either.
