MOC: Smit Rotterdam

Recommended Posts

hi @all,

i´m reading eurobricks nearly 2 years and i´m fascinated of all mocs around here - and especially of the ships. 20 years ago (i was around 15) i tried to build a rc smit rotterdam (gfk+wood), but i think it was too difficult for me, so i stopped the building. exactly 1 year ago i started to build it again - with lego ...

the first step - how to build a hull:

ok - perhaps it looks like a ship ... let´s go and make a drawing:

the first line ups:

wow - very big (1:43)

the rear section is difficult:

at last new colors - black and white:

Excellent. A wonderful interpretation of the ship, I think it worked really well and it's full of detail.

Well Done to you, Thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

*oh2* This is just AMAZING! The sheer massiveness of this build is simply astounding! I could just imagine all the time, effort, and resources that you've spent to come up with this epic creation. Any statistics? (total piece count, project time completion) My hats off to you Sir, it's our pleasure to have you as part of our online community. :thumbup:

thank you,

it floats like a stone - only deep ...

statistics - cause 90% of the bricks i bought on bricklinks - the number of pieces and costs are very exact:

about 20.000 bricks (at first i calculated around 30.000) and i costs about € 1.600 (with shipping costs)

i´m dreaming of an oil rig and an oil tanker - but in a scale of 1:43 ... too big for the house und for my money :blush:

so perhaps i go to space - a small moonbase with landscape. i´m also planning an aerial cableway (schwebebahn?), cause i think the "standard" monorail is too "old shool" for a futuristic moon base ... but it´s very hard to plan.

as you see on my writing - i´m not a native english speaker - i´m from austria.

have a nice day

Ok, wow, just wow... That's really an impressing ship. The curves on the hull are very nicely done, and the detailing is really good. Thanks for showing pictures of the building processes, it actually makes it even more awesome. :sweet:

Gee, it must be the day/night for AWESOME boats, someone has posted a sailing one and now this.....man, this is good...no not good.....totally AWESOME....now that's better choice of words eh ? :grin:

I have rarely scene such detail on a model of a modern ship from the bow to top side :thumbup: - just fantastic work 'ibinsnur' - man, what a way of doing an intro to EB.....I'm a conformist! 'ibinsnur' I'm a conformist! ! :sweet:

Wow... just wow.

Whenever I see creations like this I always love knowing how many bricks went into it, the cost, how long it took, etc. Thanks for sharing!

This is quite impressive Ibinsnur. Looks like you spent some time designing this as well.

On a side note, EB does have an image size limit of 800x600, if you could please resize your images. Much appreciated.

Spectacular! Congratulations on a fantastic build. What an effort.

I'm certainly hoping for that moonbase. Would be great to see

another one of your builds. Best of luck!

for the moonbase - please be patient.

another projekt was abu simpel ... i started only at mlcad. my idea is to build abu simpel and hide a moonbase incl. spaceships in it.

Amazing MOC! The size of it is very impressive, as is the level of detail on it. It looks very realistic. :thumbup:

Very well done. :classic:

Brilliant model, I remember building a plastic kit of this model as a child, and I simply can't tell the difference. :sweet:

The hull looks really smooth with the slopes and the small detail on this large scale MOC is outstanding.

Holy craziness! I'd say it's too short, but I won't since this thing's already massively enormous! :thumbup:

That is cool.

I hope you find a way to display it.

A sfinx would look great next to next years pyramid set.

A sfinx would look great next to next years pyramid set aswell.

Great build! I really like the fact you build the complete hull.

The hull is nicely rendered in bricks, the brick flow of the hull looks smooth on the photos.

Thanks for sharing!

Kind regards,

Teddy
