I haven't seen the 1:1 scale Enterprise before. Ho-ly crap. I do wonder if he had to walk the whole thing when building (no flying around and running faster)? If it was all done with walking and jumping only; major points to the creator. Probably one of the most impressive ultra-projects I've seen done in Minecraft.
I wonder if all the decks would be furnished as well, and not just a shell?
...And I thought my scale model of Lavos was imposing...
EDIT:
If anyone can replicate the entire environment featured in my avatar (or anything rendered in mandelbulber), then they're building gods.
It was done by creating a layered floorplan in something or other from original concept art of the layout, then exported to minecraft, not built in minecraft. Ars Technica wrote about it.
Well, it's still impressive nonetheless. When I made my scale model of Lavos, I did it with a flight and speed-run hack, but I still built it all in-game. Making sure it was even and to-scale was a pain in a half to get done right. The hacks I used were necessary for all the reference points and everything. Even so, that was just the shell alone (and I couldn't finish it either). Only the shell head, and the shell were completed, and because I started it so close to the edge, I couldn't get the whole thing made. In place of the Lavos core, I put in my signature.
Simple explanation of "how I did it":
-Using the screenshot/sprite as reference, I made the base, made a series of vertices mirroring each other (counting tile distances), and then building from these key points.
-Checking the rest was a chore as well, I was using the inside of the shell as reference to make sure every block was precisely in place. I had to keep the grass spots visible (and grassy) as reference to what grid points I was working on. The grid, of course, was installed after the main spikes were made, and I worked from what would be best seen as it progressed, starting from the sides and top.
I was surprised at how well it turned out in the end, despite being just a mere shell. That was lots of cobblestone used, the head had at least 8 gold blocks (with a wooden beak), and the center was obsidian (of course, in creative mode, it doesn't matter much). However, if there's any intention to replicate this project, I wonder how to make mossy cobblestone, otherwise, that's one clean world-destroyer.
