So, at the moment I have started with the Ievoli Amaranth in real bricks and I keep on drawing on the Alp Striker.

This is the state of the Ievoli Amaranth ath the moment.

incredibly realistic....

[MaxSupercars]

Great models! Such many pieces... OMG.

Ever since I explored your models through Jutlandia (being featured ob BB) I title you the best lego ship builder. I have never seen other model with the same or higher amount of detail, especially regarding hull shaping. Extremely well done :)

[agrof]

WOW.

Superb detailing, although these are too big for my taste, more sculpting than "playing Lego". - no offense.

Do You make models for living? Must be a dream job.

[JJ2]

From far off these models look like they were not Lego! Good job!

Thanks for your compliment

I don't build models for a living. It's a just a litle side business

From far off these models look like they were not Lego! Good job!

Thanks, It is my goal to make them look like normal scale models.

I have been fascinated by your work for quite a while (well, ever since I first saw some of it), and I undestand why Edwin thinks of you as a "master" when it comes to ship building

Being a naval architect by education, and very interested in ship design, I am simply in awe at the details in these models! But the possibly most impressive aspect is the way the hulls are shaped so well

Great work, and looking very much forward to seeing more of your work in the future!

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

So nice to see them "lined" up in this single topic...lovely builds as I told you so many times!!! You have your self again some impressive builds going on...great!!!

Thanks for the compliments. I think that the hulls are still improving.

Thanks, I thought it was time to make my own topic here :)

This is what I am building right now:

The inside of the stern is gettting shape . by Arjan Oude Kotte, on Flickr

It is the internal frame for the stern. Just like the part I have allready built it will be placed studs down in order to create a strong rear section of the Ievoli Amaranth, When it is done I will post a photo of the two parts together,

Some work done on the Ievolie Amaranth. I have joined the bottom of the stern with the framework. Closed the side with plates and closed a large section of the deck. the onderside of the hull has partky been tiled

Wow, that's very impressive!

I love the addition of LEDs on the Grampian by the way.

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

I am always amazed what some people can build out of wood. I for one can't. everything I build is more or less skewed :)

some progress on the Ievoli Amaranth. Midsection frame has been built, and has the skin on the side. Frontsection frame is built, and now I'm putting the trusses on. After that I can start with what is the most time consuming part of this ship: putting the plates (skin) on the frontsection trusses.

But that is also one of the best ones since you see the bowshape appear

[MacKaiwer]

Excellent masterpieces! I like very much Fiona, Jutlandia, Zwarte Zee and Rainbow Warrior. Those threads/ropes are just amazing Awesome work, very well done!

[Sylvian]

Pretty much speechless,.. i know its been said before but the way you shape those hulls is truly a lust for the eye,. Not to mention the rest of all the details.

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

This is so amazing...thanks for sharing... :thumbup: :wub: :wub: :wub: ...so we can make a copy...if we would have enough LEGO...haha... :laugh:

So, after moving to a new house I finally had time to continue work on the Guardian. The hull is nearly finished as is the rear deck. last week I have been busy with installing LEDs in the cargorails and the winchhouse. at first I was pretty happy with the warm white color I had used for the lights in the cargorails but now the cold white LEDs are in place near the whinch I think I will also ut cold whit LEDs in the cargorails. Keeps me of the streets.

here are some photos:

the next photos have been taken during LEGOWorld utrecht where I was building durimg opening hours of the event

I only made some mistakes so back home I had to take the whole bow apart and start over. you will not see the difference but now the hull looks like this on one side.

At the moment  am working on the cargorails and winchhouse.

Wow! Your models are in-freaking-credible! I really like how they have tons of tiny detail on these huge models! Very impressive!

[Edwin Korstanje]

Great progress Buddy

[Jeroen Ottens]

Amazing. I just love those lighted scenes

[nostalgia] It reminds me of the old trainbooks from Lego where they showed the electric train layouts with electric lights [/nostalgia]
