I don’t think this is funny. The ship design is uninspired and non-humorous.
The Adolf Hitler fig isn’t very striking, nor is he funny either. The
description of your MOC is pretty plain, and not funny. The only thing at
all amusing is the shock factor, but once it wears off, theres nothing else
to keep my interest. Plus, I think this sort of thing (especially that you

a Roman museum in Cologne Germany, and they had unearthed a Roman mosaic with

I also find some Bible Lego diarama’s to be in somewhat poor taste as well. I
