    Magnificent work.

    I wonder how you get something like that from the basement to the lake and back?

    It should, it's plastic and Lego's have a lot of empty space for air in them, but I suppose that deck is very large...

    ...and would cause the center of gravity to be too high for stability.

    I noticed in the water pictures that it was attached to something underwater.

    But all those empty spaces fill with water unless the whole underside is sealed. They used to make comprtmentalized boat hulls that could float because they were sealed. They came with a weighted keel for stability, but the buld options were very limited.

    On a side note, If the X-wing kits are 30 bucks, That thing probaly worth more than my car... new

    They must have intelligence about nefarious doings at brickshelf.com.

    When you take a closer look, you can see he built it in segments. It is not one long block. Of coiurse, it is not really swimming. I guess, it is shallow water and some podest.
