Huge LEGO steampunk wheel keeps the ship rollin’

This LEGO steampunk galleon by Chris Wright fits the genre perfectly — a huge steam-powered mega-wheel with a central ship that seems to defy gravity.



Using 7500 bricks and standing at nearly a meter high (including the crows nest), the outer wheel is also 10 studs wide. This girth gives enough stability to allow the wheel to not only be free-standing, but roll! Thankfully Chris has a video of his wheely awesome Steampunk ship in action, without this we would be saying – prove it or it didn’t happen.
