Let's just say, an Erebus.

I'm really bad at math.Ugh

Big enough that I would be required to buy, and construct (assuming they had others than the Erebus, that thing is ugly)

If I am doing my math correctly (Which i am probably not), then a lego titan would be roughly CATS meters long. Which, given the prices of Lego items, would be about 10,000 dollars.

And just as a personal opinion, the Erebus looks exactly like CCP looked at a cloud in the sky and thought to themselves "That's what I want my ship to look like!"

Lego man: height 38.6mm, width: 15.15mm http://mathspig.wordpress.com/tag/lego-man-dimesnions/ (scroll down to chart)
Erebus length about axis: 14,000m (eve client)
Average height of human male in US: ~1.78m. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height#Average_height_around_the_world

If we take the lego men and stand them hip to hip along the Erebus' axis...

Average width of human male scaled to Lego man's width: 15.15mm / 38.6mm * 1.78m = .70 m
14,000m / .7m * 15.15mm * 1m / 1000mm = 303.0m

The Lego Erebus would need to be roughly 300m long. That's a goodly number of legos.



edit: Also, is there any piece of information, no matter how esoteric, that isn't on the internet?

edit2: Corrected to use the correct value of 14km for the Erebus.

You were spot on. I screwed up and was initially using the Avatar's length of 13km instead of the Erebus' 14km.

The average lego brick (4x2) is 32mm long.
So this lego titan would be 9375 bricks long , geez i wonder if there actually are enough lego bricks in the world to build a titan.

Quote:

•How many Lego bricks are produced each year?

Approximately 19 billion Lego elements are produced per year. 2.16 million are molded every hour, 36,000 every minute.

• Approximately, how many bricks they've ever made since Lego started to produce them?

More than 400 billion Lego bricks have been produced since 1958. There are about 62 Lego bricks per person of the Earth's population.




Obviously, some of us have more than our fair share...

today i went out and put a legaman on a battleship down in cape cod on the tour thinking of these thread. I got down real low to see the scale. Then imagined the ship we were on was made for people his size.

I chuckled. I suggesting bringing a legoman along with you on your next naval tour. :P

When I was a kid I went to Ontario Place and saw the HMCS Haida a Tribal-class Destroyer from WW2.

I thought it was a Battleship because I was small and it was very, very big.

I would love to visit Battleship Cove someday.
