This model is 24 feet long (about 7.3 meters) and is almost the world's largest model of a Lego warship.　　 It is reported that when the fisherman Jim McDonald began to assemble this model in 2012, he had calculated that this 1:40 scale model would be the world's largest model of a Lego warship. However, what he didn't expect was that another Missouri model built by American Dan Siskind was 1.5 feet longer than his work. The latter model has a scale of 1:35 and used more than 10,000 Lego bricks.　　 McDonald’s model was assembled without glue, which made him very proud. In addition to this huge warship, his garage is also full of other models assembled with Lego toys, including aircraft carriers, airplanes, fishing boats, and landing ships.
