[Fires-storm]

This is just an idea for a paddle wheeler that popped into my head, I built it only using pieces I had laying around, and I simply love how it turned out. I'm probably going to buy more dark grey pieces at some point to refine it, but until then this beauty is pretty much done^^ My only very slight dislike is the armored upper decks, which I'm going to buy the pieces to refine probably in June, otherwise this is my best (and first) steamer yet!

A birds eye view of the ship

The main gun


the stern

one of the paddle wheels, I tried to make it look more industrial and jury rigged then original.

a picture of the steering cabin, the top deck is removable

a picture of the bottom deck, the main deck is also removable for playability. Please note, this isn't complete yet, a number of details have yet to be added^^"

a pic of either the boiler room or captains cabin, haven't decided which yet so its also not complete^^

and finally an image of the crew of the ship!


I tried to make this ship look very industrial and slightly recycled, because the back story of this model is it used to be one of the imperial noble's pleasure cruisers but when it got old he threw it away and as such the rebels reclaimed and remodeled it into a steam cruiser. My rebels motto is "If its not broken, don't throw it away, or at least give it to us." I hope you enjoy the pics!

Cool steam-punk paddle steamer - love that big gun on the front !
I would say make the rear end the boiler room where the smoke stacks are and under the steering/bridge - crew quarters and weapons storage !
Great MOC 'Fires-storm' and keep on bricking !

Nice MOC, but paddlewheelers are already steam punk.

Thanks so much, glad you liked it, and yeah, I'm probably going to end up doing just that when I get the pieces

True, paddle wheelers are already steam punk, but this one is MILITARY steam punk! thats why I added all the armored plating and guns, and most paddle wheelers certainly aren't military Glad you enjoyed it!
