MOC: Tyr Viking, a LEGO Anchor Handling Tug

[Konajra]

Hi all,

This is my latest build. It is a sister vessel of FAIRPLAY-33 I build back in october/november 2012. The FAIRPLAY was a comissioned build and is now displayed at the office of Fairplay-towage in Hamburg.

As a thank you for building the tug I received the bricks to build my own version. I decided to build it in the livery of Viking Supply ships AS. Copenhagen. So I'm more or less my own copycat .

The numbers for this ship are the same as the FAIRPLAY-33. about 20.000 bricks 125 cm long, 35 cm wide and 73 cm tall. It is a lilte more detailed then the Fairplay and has a winch on the superstructure that has been removed of the FAIRPLAY.

I also used PF to make the winches work, so now I can do some real anchor handling. :) Next modification will be the installation of towing pins at the stern. The technique for that comes from Barman76 (on Flickr)

here are some photos and the video:

Even though I've seen the Fairplay up close I still get awestruck every time I see pictures. You really are the shipmaster!

Amazing work. I never realized tugs had so much mass below waterline. Makes sense but never thought about it before I saw this.

[astra]

Amazing... absolutely amazing...

[Konajra]

Thanks for the frontpage and the kind comments. This ship is more or less identical to the Blue and white FAIRPLAY-33 that I build for fairplay towage. Designing that ship in Ldraw took me about 165 hours. The actual building time: I have no idea. For the FAIRPLAY-33 I recieved the General Arangement plans. I also used a lot of photos of the FAIRPLAY. The Tyr Viking is a non-existing ship so there were no photos to use, but since its a copy that was of course not a problem.

[Luza]

Love it. Just love it.

[LukeClarenceVan]

Phenomenal work, both in size and complexity.

[Kai NRG]

Great job! I love all the details and the size is amazing! Perfect color-scheme as well! Fantastic work!
