If Brickmania sold this as a kit, it would cost more than the actual USS Missouri

[@Alastor1313]

Spot on!!

[@Mr101editz]

Well, seeing as the Missouri was around 90 million, I don’t think you’re wrong 😂

[@TheNavyShark]

It would cost $100 on Temu.

[@oliverwaynechang3098]

Where would it fit?

[@F4PhantomGaming]

@@TheNavyShark and it would be a crappy product made by child laborers, what's your point?

[@tron0x476]

I’ve been to the real ship at Hawaii and it’s massive. The builders did a really good job building it to scale and adding a lot of features that are actually on the ship.

[@EtonieE25]

I’m jealous 🙂

[@StarWolf2199]

As a fan of naval warships, this is just too beautiful to look at!

[@HistoryJohn01]

Yes!

[@EtonieE25]

Ditto 👍👍👍👍

[@dogemotion1643]

Yep spot on

[@Marie-ov6dn]

Hi, I’m the great granddaughter of Admiral Stuart Shadrick Murray, the captain of the USS Missouri when the Japanese surrendered aboard her - I’d be very very interested in knowing which Lego figure represents my great-grandfather - my family has always enjoyed Lego and being able to point to „our“ own figurine for one of our more well-known ancestors would be absolutely amazing!!

[@jeffs.4124]

She’s a beauty, should have done her deck in a brown to represent her teak wood decks.

[@calebvaldecanas8867]

She had a grey deck during WWII to help camo from above

[@ticklemeandillhurtyou5800]

The brown decking would break it up so that's too much Gray

[@doodledangernoodle2517]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@calebvaldecanas8867She and all other US naval ships had Navy blue decks in WWII

[@bmcallister1974]

People that build these huge mocs amaze me. The amount of planning in the design is just incredible

[@ConnorFoutz]

I love how historically accurate this ship is. As a huge fan of WW2 naval battles, this is totally awesome.

[@keddiels9843]

Love the storm trooper in the plane 😂

[@Jonbwriter]

Man! I could not imagine building a ship this huge, with so many parts! #awesome

[@F-Man]

I’ve been on one of her sister Iowas, New Jersey, a few times. The attention to detail - and the effort to render so much of it authentically - is spectacular!

[@spooky2bricks]

I’ve been waiting for this, glad you guys made it to the Mare Island location! It’s super cool to see 2 Brickmania locations with such massive builds.

[@michaelminch5490]

I love the Stormtrooper in the float plane.

[@claiborneeastjr4129]

This is unbelievable! What a beautiful Missouri! I can't even imagine all the time and patience involved. Magnificent!

[@mikecimerian6913]

A small correction, it wasn't a treaty but the ratification of unconditional surrender.

[@jason-hy8ci]

Yes! Thank you, nice guy, but he's GOT to get his history Right.

[@user-on8rn7id7d]

You need to add a Casey Ryback and Jordan Tate mini figures. Under Siege!

[@unclefredsbrickslot5824]

Wow, what an amazing build. Incredible detail and accuracy.

[@LeslieRC]

Absolutely breathtaking! Well done! Thanks for sharing.

[@unsunggosling37plays55]

It not capt Nimitz ihe was an admiral Nimitz

[@vascovalente3929]

Also the Japanese surrender was not signed in Hawai .

[@Limp_Cookie]

What scale, more or less, is this beauty? 😍

[@AsapAnimation]

1/35 scale

[@generalspitfire01]

Hello Beyond the Brick. I just want to say that I'm from Missouri. This model brings me some honor knowing that I live in the state that this ship is named after.

[@jenniferbeyer6412]

Spectacular. Does justice to the Great Ship.

[@bill4632]

Soo Cool !

[@OhhGeee]

I got to tour this boat as a child when it was docked at Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton WA. It was an amazing ship and I'm glad they are keeping it's legacy alive by preserving it in all it's glory. This model is spectacular! WOW!

[@AnAvgeek]

Wow, huge, beautiful, and detailed.

[@Anonymous..VQ3.5Lg35]

Looks like the real ship!! Great build!!!

[@LeonardCooperman]

How beautiful

[@SaperPl1]

That's huuge! I thought that's gonna be RC control of those turrets :D

[@venividiviking]

Outstanding result, i must say👌👌👌 As a danish sailor, it makes me proud, to see a huge ship, made of LEGO. I had 2 large boxes of LEGO, when i was a kid. I was spoiled 😄 Thanks for uploading. Cheers from a Viking🇩🇰

[@jasonsmith1143]

WoW so cool

[@Mike-mm4mx]

Mind boggling!!

[@EtonieE25]

Totally blown away ❤️👍

[@user-ll4lf5go1m]

Slight correction. The WW2 Peace Treaty with Japan was signed in Tokyo Bay, not Hawaii.

[@Kevin-go2dw]

At the time of signing, I am pretty sure number 2 turret was rotated slightly.

[@luskimo1]

and Nimintz was an Admiral not a Captain

[@gorillaguerillaDK]

What an amazing build! Every time I see such masterpieces it makes me both amazed and kind of sad! Sad that LEGO is so F'ing expensive - but also impressed at how creative and talented some builders are, and amazed of the results!

[@battalionbricks]

Mare Island was the first Brinckmania store I went to. Love it!

[@joseramalho3297]

One word: Insane!

[@stephenschlachter5151]

This Lego battle ship is awesome.

[@Joumae_Saori]

This is so beautifully accurate! Ive always been a fan of the Mighty-Mo eversince i watched the movie 'Battleship'

[@allgood6760]

Far out! 👍

[@bellissimo4520]

Building a war ship to minifig scale is insane... and amazing!

[@danielvandersall6756]

Don't look now, but some Stormtroopers snuck on board your battleship... 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😁 Oh, it's ok. You have a knight on board. Not a Jedi knight, but probably good enough.

[@bf6159]

Nice!

[@ClassicalGoldies]

Correction, you said "Captain", Chester W. Nimitz was the Fleet Admiral, whole 5 grades above Captain.

[@Anonymous..VQ3.5Lg35]

Had to search the ship on google, couldn’t remember if i was on it or not, can confirm i’ve been on this beautiful ship! Pearl harbour was amazing!!!!

[@user-pu9qz2ww1h]

Bro this is sick

[@thomasschafer7268]

Nice lego work. If the deck would be brown like the teak wood would be more realistic. The grey bricks shimmer a lot. 👍👍👍🇩🇪

[@historybricksbyd]

Awesome! Will you do a complete tour?

[@DominusObiscum]

I think you all meant the japanese surrender was actually signed in Tokyo Harbor but the replica maybe in Hawaii.

[@nerderonofficial]

So proud of you, Connor! You've come a long way from our garage! :)

[@mathiasemmens3451]

Sweet

[@DisneyWish2023]

As a person who’s been on the Missouri this is accurate good job 👍 😊

[@user-of5dx4ev8z]

すご😮 ミズーリだね

[@edwardphilipmarianafzger9800]

Not Hawai but Tokio Bay was it signed

[@HistoryJohn01]

It's really great! I'm history fan.

[@shitpostxy7272]

wow

[@m.8809]

Yea im just 10 years old and i fall in love whit missouri i have lego and i built it bigger than me but THIS IS A NEW LEVEL OF AWSOMNES ♡♡♡♡♡

[@matveyshkurupiy6909]

Really big baby)

[@charlieheywood7401]

RESPECTS. GRATATUDE. Thank u 4 video and explanation. Love what u have done. Regards from DOWN UNDER.

[@user-wv5nj4he8u]

おおぉーーーっ！ すげぇーーーっ！

[@ghostywarrior]

5:57 Even got the hat right for that one man with a different hat that the others

[@natus1]

So cool that’s like 10000 bricks to build also funfact: a stormtrooper is in the plane on the battleship the stormtrooper is inside the plane in the right

[@nlb137]

Are there plans for some of the smaller parts? One of the 5" mounts would be cool to build as something that would actually fit the average persons home (and budget).

[@puirYorick]

Any thoughts of one day including the ship structures below the waterline?

[@seanbarraclough2484]

Does it have a Casey Ryback figure in the Galley?

[@blitz-kun005]

What an insane build! But did the dude really just addressed Admiral Nimitz as Captain? Like bruh.

[@jason-hy8ci]

Right!?!?

[@Exiledz_]

and he said they signed the surrender in hawaii💀

[@lorenzogiuliani9144]

W O W

[@StealthWS6]

Neat, Time to level up and play a survival builders! imagine what you can build in something like empyrion

[@therailfanman2078]

Beutiful

[@TheWareek]

have you considered doing a video on how you go about designing and building something like this. have you ever gotten partway into a build and discovered that something will not work i.e. another part of the ship will have to be to big or to small.

[@kellyherald1390]

And I thought building the official Lego kit Titanic at 9000 pieces was an undertaking. This model at over 600,000 pieces is just gorgeous. I would love to know how much it cost in just the pieces to build the Mighty MO.

[@AYILDIRIM]

Even in the world of warship game, if you have a missouri ship, that signed desk chair is there.

[@jerrycallender9927]

I like the Unicorn atop the island...

[@danielburke911]

my great grandfather was one of the officers on the Missouri during the Japanese surrender

[@mikeymikeFType]

Should see the size of the bath it’s going in !

[@ElectroDieselLocomotive]

recently i thought to myself "it would be so cool to have a minifigure sized battle ship in a lego city" this video made me realise that's not happening lol, also fantastic model!

[@davids5566]

Amazing- next you need to do a Ted talk on where you get so much patience!

[@fencanrc6705]

👍👍👍

[@tibchy144]

Lego should totally put out more production items related to weapons and warfare.

[@SofiaGaming006]

*holy guacamole that is huge*

[@JustinBeiber-bj9qb]

I'd love to see a lego recreation of Le Chateau de Versailles.

[@jason-hy8ci]

Right.

[@googleuser3163]

Fun fact: If anyone ever made a minifig-scale Hindenburg airship it would be just a little shorter than this.

[@jeffreypeterson3072]

I want Lego to make a set like this in the scale of the Titanic set that they made.

[@josedurbano2730]

Are the Steven Seagal and Taylor Kitsch minifigures there?

[@stevelenox152]

That is a thing of beauty how much would she cost as i would love to get one

[@alanrogers7090]

I noticed another Easter Egg, the pilot of the scout plane is a Star Wars Stormtrooper.

[@daefaron]

I wonder, does it include detailed interiors or just support structures?

[@AmeliaRomanov]

Ah mighty mo the very ship that star'd in battleship

[@affirmedbeet5336]

I have a small model that looks exactly like that ship they builded

[@ramonsanchez6903]

Oh the USS.Missouri

[@ybing]

Lego please make a 6,000 pieces scale down version for us to buy 😆

[@PCrailfan3790]

I wonder if it floats

[@darthvirgin7157]

that’s Admiral Nimitz.

[@A.S.028]

How the hell have I been going to the surplus store around the corner from this multiple times a month and have never known about this?

[@HKTimbo]

😎

[@tomnewham1269]

Will this ever become a set that the public can buy?

[@fabiofilardi7736]

RAPAZ, FEITO COM LEGO VERDADEIRA OBRA DE ARTE. PARABÉNS 🇺🇸🇧🇷

[@kabouterwesley83]

The ship was in Tokyo when the instrument of surrender was signed, not in Hawaii.

[@____tyrael_______3437]

She is perfect.. but you didn't tell one thing - how many beers did you have during the build?

[@mikemartin5073]

Is it properly scaled?

[@petersun77]

They signed the treaty in Tokyo bay, not Hawaii.

[@frankrosenbaum3471]

The Queen Mary in California has a Lego of itself as well.
