The project: LEGO replica of the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), a Nimitz-class supercarrier of the United States Navy.
Time to complete: "the better part of a year," according to Geekdad.
Truly an amazing feat, the Truman is made of 200,000 LEGO bricks and weighs 350 lbs.
The parts cost more than $20,000. The model is complete with electrical lights, moving radar dishes and elevators, LEGO aircraft ...
... and a LEGO crew to direct air traffic.
What good would a LEGO ship be without LEGO anchors?
I have no idea what all this stuff is, but at this point I'm willing to bet that it's actual stuff that you would find in/around the sides of the actual aircraft carrier.
You can see lots more pictures where these ones came from, at Brickshelf.com.
