The Brickmania Team builds the USS Vallejo (Pt 2) & Historic Mare Island Ship Yard
Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
October 18th-20th
During Maker Faire 2023, Brickmania's team of LEGO enthusiasts scratch built a 10-foot-long replica of the atomic submarine USS Vallejo, just yards from where the actual submarine was built during the height of the Cold War. Team Brickmania plan to return to the scene to not only finish where we left off, but also to build the actual shipyard and slipway where the actual submarine was built. Additions include complete detailing the interior spaces, including working lights, assembling the shipyard's slipway and cranes, and otherwise add the details that make our works "museum quality." The final model will be part of a full-time display at our location in historic downtown Vallejo for the public to enjoy seven days a week.
