The SS LEGO by Julia Morley has been blogged by Brothers Brick, Gizmodo, Wired.com and Ripley's Believe it or Not.
Her story (in her own words) can be read at her mocpages web site, at this link: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/260956
Also at that link is a three and a half minute time-lapse video showing the build, which she says actually took 3 days (and a lot of expletives)!
