Warship using 250,000 pieces of Lego built

THE world's newest aircraft carrier has just been completed made from lego. The 22ft model of the USS warship Intrepid has been created by an artist using 250,000 plastic bricks. Model builder Ed Diment was inspired when he saw the real thing. The warship, now a museum docked in New York was launched in April 1943 and was decommissioned in 1974. Ed has been building models with Lego since the age of three, he says it was a huge project but worth it. BFBS
