British Ed Diment has successfully completed building a 22ft long Lego replica of the USS Intrepid aircraft carrier.

The model is now on display in the real life USS Intrepid in New York, which has now been turned into a museum.

ITN news has footage of the replica, and also spoke to Ed Diment himself, feel free to have a watch.
