A Boat Made Out Of Legos!

Ever since I first started making really good blobs of Legos, I have wanted to make a boat out of them. As a five year old I remember saying “I will create either a boat or a spaceship out of these” while triumphantly holding fistfulls of Legos in the air.

This was a dream that I later gave up. As I got older it become more and more clear to me that Legos didn’t have the strength to weight ratio needed for such an enterprise. Not to mention how difficult it would be to make a Lego-only structure that was water tight (or for a space ship air tight).

It looks like someone else did not talk themselves out of their dream.
