Hull inventory - not really a MOC, but...

Recommended Posts

I'd rather call this a very general WIP thread, but I thought I'd share this anyway.

Hello there! Long time no see. Hope someone here remembers me :). Just recently I purchased the white hull from the 41015 LEGO Friends ship, one day to be used in a - hopefully - decent looking white coloured sailing vessel. While adding this to my collection I decided to run an inventory of all the precious hull pieces I have right now, waiting to be used one day.

So here's the picture I took today:

I must say I was really surprised that there are so many of them. After all, I haven't counted them for quite some time, and the collection grew gradually amd over the span of many years - starting with the first Caribbean Clipper I got, yes, back in 1989.

BTW, as you might have noticed, some of them have been customised using the procedure I once described in this tutorial.

There's 16 hulls of bigger and smaller ships in the picture. So quite a lot of building awaits me. However, with my current rate of MOCing, this might take me a good 200 years or so... :-( Suffice to say I started work on my latest ship MOC more than half a year ago and it's still not finished.

Speaking of which... There are some things missing from the picture. First of all, I have a built 10210 Imperial Flagship, and two more middle hull sections in dark brown, apart from those seen above. One day I will disassemble this set, add those two to the four it already has and build something bigger. Next, I have the Black Seas Barracuda in all its glory - this one is staying as it is. This was the best LEGO ship ever IMO and I will let it remain intact on my shelf forever, hopefully. :-) There's also the WIP ship I mentioned in the previous paragraph - it's not using any of the pieces seen in the picture, in fact it does not use any of the hull pieces we've seen in the Pirate sets (including PotC etc.). But it does use a certain LEGO hull from outside the Pirate theme - try to guess what it is if you want. :)

And finally, just to make this post complete, the two finished ship MOCs I currently have on my shelves, are HMS Eternity and The Golden Stallion. Not many, I know, but hopefully they will soon be joined by the WIP ship, which I'd say is 85% complete. And then there's all these hulls ready to be used - but when I will find the time to build all these ships remains a different issue altogether.

Anyway, that's it! Thanks for reading and stay Pirate!

That's quite a hull collection, more than I have pir_laugh2.gif But I must say I'm not using all of my hull pieces either.

I hope to see some nice ship with those white hulls.

Did you have any luck with that small brown-blue hull? I made my worst ship on that combination pirate_laugh_new.gif .

Haven't tried anything with that one yet, however the brown and blue combination itself looks pretty appealing to me. It remains to be seen though how and if that will translate into a full and good-looking ship.
