I remember hearing the one of the walls from 20,000 leagues is the same wall on the side of mermaid. Technically not a fully "new" building lol

You don’t use that many bolts and the only foundation for shoring.

But I'm sure TheZach will comment on how the unique and ingenious WDI team came together to create this iconic piece that harkens back to Walt's original vision for EPCOT Center, leveraging Disney storytelling.

Can you believe how ruggedly put together a decorative item appears to be? Steel and bolt construction for a big ship model.
I guess they don't want it falling on anyone getting their picture taken there.

It is a structure so it has to comply with things like wind load requirements.

Poppycock! It’s never windy in Florida

I’m curious how it’ll be themed, a ship like that would need some type of platform to land on so if they theme it well it could look great, if done badly it’s going to really detract from the ship though.
Have you seen what a Cat 3 or 4 hurricane can do to a decorative steel structure?
I'm sure Disney is complying with Florida hurricane codes.
Tell that to the 5 trees I've lost in "never windy Florida". The spinning 30 foot pine tree during Michael was fun to watch....not

For me, the more that is assembled, the less distracting the support becomes. Still seems an odd decision to have the support cover an arm, but hopefully they can put together a great look.Added a video showing some of the build in progress

Yes.
It's easy to focus on one thing, when it's one thing.
But not only will this ship be completed, it will be part of an overall landscaped area.
When it all comes together, few people will look at it and say "They should have made a less visible support."

Crazy to think that the MK castle is allegedly the most photographed structure in the entire world (going off of Instagram post).

It looks ugly.

It is what it is. This is what the ships on Xandar looked like in the movie. You may think it ugly, but it is accurate ugly.
