A unique LEGO model designed by Luke Jenkinson showcases an intricate and colorful sushi boat, inspired by the traditional Japanese "funamori" platter. This 800-900 piece set features realistic-looking sushi replicas made entirely of LEGO bricks, including various maki rolls, tamago, nigiri, and even ebi shrimp. The attention to detail is remarkable, with color-blocking representing different ingredients and a complete place setting, including soy sauce, chopsticks, and side garnishes. The tiny sushi chef minifigure adds an extra touch, making this LEGO creation not just a model, but a whimsical homage to sushi culture.
At a glance, the layout hits all the notes: twelve assorted maki rolls, tamago sushi with a sleek black nori wrap, twin nigiri pieces, two generous scoops of ikura (salmon roe), and even a blocky ebi (shrimp) with exaggerated stripes that somehow look juicy.
The model, designed with a chef's eye for detail and a builder's obsession for geometry, swaps raw fish for ABS plastic, and the result is weirdly mouthwatering.
There's even a tiny sushi chef minifigure wielding a cleaver, with rolled sleeves and that classic black-and-white tenugui headband. He looks ready to defend his omakase at all costs.
The boat itself is a sleek, tan construction with a minimalist Japanese flag at the stern, and a mast at the center that's more symbolic than functional.
