吉姆 (Jim McDonough) 是位51岁的英国乐高迷。3年前,他开始用乐高打造约7.3公尺 (24英尺) 长的美国密苏里号战舰模型,是原尺寸的1/40,并在最近完工,而他认为这是世界上最大的乐高战舰。

Jim McDonough has painstakingly built a 24ft scale model of 890ft US warship USS Missouri out of thousands of toy bricks in his garage in Redford, near Arbroath, Angus, Scotland

 

没想到,在这3年内,美国的乐高迷,丹恩 (Dan Siskind) 也在盖1:35大小的密苏里号战舰模型,完成长度只比他多0.4公尺 (1.5英尺) ,让吉姆的作品略逊一筹。

But he's been pipped at the post by American enthusiast, Dan Siskind, of Minneapolis, whose creation stands at 25.5ft long

不过虽然在大小上无法拔得头筹,吉姆的作品还是令人赞叹,就连船上相关的军事配备都做得非常细致,难怪就连密苏里战舰纪念馆都认可他的作品!

He has even built accompanying military transport for the ships. The 51-year-old, has a garage crammed with a flotilla of battleships, aircraft carriers, planes, fishing vessels and landing craft - each one painstakingly built from Lego

 

而吉姆最骄傲的是,他的作品完全没有用到黏胶。对他来说,那样等同于作弊,因为把东西黏在一起谁都会。这就是所谓达人的坚持吧!

吉姆的车库放满了他的乐高作品。航空母舰、战舰、飞机、渔船、登陆舰…全部都是他用乐高做出来的。当中最抢眼的当然就是1:40的密苏里号战舰!

吉姆的家人都很支持吉姆的兴趣,这位可爱的小女孩是吉姆的孙女,根本可以整个人骑到战舰上了啊!

平常在捞网船上工作的吉姆,空闲时间几乎都花在乐高上。所以才能做出这么精细的模型吧!

He said: 'I think the biggest in the world is a few inches longer, but when I started building mine three years ago it was probably the biggest'

 

为了造这艘战舰,吉姆原本想把他做的第一个模型拆掉,好利用空间跟拆下来的乐高,但家人恳求他不要拆,于是…车库的空间就不够了!战舰的一部份甚至一整个冬天都占据着厨房。

Mr McDonough broke down his first models in order to save space and use bricks on later projects, but he is running out of garage room since the family begged him to keep them

 

下面这艘则是丹恩的船。重达45000吨的爱荷华级战舰模型,同样花了好几个月打造,而且还没完成!

The ship, a replica of the 45000 ton Iowa class battleship built by the New York Navy Yard, was painstakingly built over months

 

丹恩把这艘船暱称为Mo. ,他希望能在9月底前完成它。

Mr Siskind spent months working on the ship - nicknamed the Mo. He said he hopes it will be complete by September

 

为了完成这艘船,丹恩甚至曾经30小时不眠不休地赶工,真是太惊人的执著了!

Under construction:  Mr Siskind said that he had been working ‘30-hour marathon’ sessions to build his version of the USS Missouri

 

丹恩的密苏里号战舰模型分成10个部分建造,他自豪地说,自己的作品应该是世界上最大的。虽然也承认他有可能不是,但这样的规模绝对已经值得骄傲了!

Looking inside: Mr Siskin said he believes 'it's the longest ship of any kind built out of Lego in the world' - but admits he 'could be wrong'

 

不过吉姆也没有因为没得第一名就灰心,他还计画要打造萨拉托加号战舰 (USS Saratoga) 模型,他说那跟其他战舰的大小可不是同个等级啊!太令人期待了!
