The Original Love Boat in Lego Form
Posted on January 20, 2011
Princess Cruises' famous "Love Boat" - Pacific Princess - has been reincarnated in Lego by professional Lego builder, Ryan McNaught, in Melbourne, Australia. The lego ship measures 10.5 feet long and nearly 5 feet high. It is made from more than 250,000 Lego bricks. It took six months to build. Images of the Lego Love Boat can be seen here.
One side of the model features the exterior of the famous ship. The other side is an open cutaway revealing all the action inside -- from chefs in the kitchen to passengers working out in the health club. McNaught has also brought the cast of the famous Love Boat TV show to life with Lego models of the legendary Captain Stubing, Gopher and cruise director Julie, along with some of the show's most famous guests such as David Hasselhoff.
McNaugh says, "I wanted to do something with character so I chose the original Love Boat, Pacific Princess, and studied photos and deck plans to capture her features and her beauty."
