Wow - that thing would draw a lot of water with that lower superstructure. So
much for landing near shore or in a bay.. it'd hit bottom if it's as big as
you're saying it should be! It's a neat looking design, though, maybe a micro
scale would be better suited for such a task. Or a large budget. Hmm..I wonder
if the NEA does grants for LEGO Art.... hehehe.
