An autistic boy who built the largest LEGO replica of the Titanic when he was 10 years old was invited to unveil his creation in the US.
Brynjar Karl Bigisson from Reykjavík, Iceland, is now 15 and presented the boat at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Monday.
He built the boat which measures 25 feet long and 5 feet tall using 56,000 Lego bricks over 700 hours.
The huge LEGO creation was shipped from Iceland to America in three parts.
The teen said he first became interested in LEGO when he was five.
“I remember sitting and playing with LEGO all day long. I would sometimes build from instructions and sometimes I would use my own imagination," he said.
“At that time, I was obsessed with trains and shortly after that ships became my biggest obsession.”
He decided he wanted to build a replica of the Titanic when he was 10.
