Your comments ladies and gentlemen? ) *sweet*

What a creative idea. Sort of a steam punk/castle MOC, with a Penguin/Baron at the helm.

I love the details, esp the wheel pieces in the back.

What set is the hull from? Is that custom paint, or from one of the police boats?

No, it's from some real old police set. )

Thanks for your comments! )

Great set, haha, never knew Dwarves can go into Sea machinaries, haha!! *sweet*

Just curious if u used this set for the Dwarves, because i feel it resemble much to this set of mine :-$

[Lt. Col. Thok]

Very nice! I like your steampunk style of building castle mocs. *y*

[Mr. Builder]

Great job. I like the castle-ey feel of it. It would be cool to see a dock put in front of the mine and that ship there. *sweet*

[The Penguin]

Thank you for your comments! ) :-)

The base for the boat was taken from this set:

Thanks for telling me which police boat u used. Really missed those classic police boats, haha! Nevertheless, u really did a great job. I was thinking my dwarf kingdom will required some mechanical engineering too, :-$

Fantastic work The Penguin, I especially love the wheel at the back, simply brilliant. I love these Dwarve mocs, and I love all the brown medieval details you've mixed in ,very clever. And good use of those Indy boxes as a pipe too, the whole boat looks fantastic!

To the Batbrick Cave! >:-)

[Tacitus]

Cool! This reminds me of something you would see in that old SNES version of Final Fantasy III, which add a lot of streampunk elements to the fantasy world.

[Asuka]

That´s a very creative work indeed, a clever use of that hull and a very nice paddle wheel. Well done! *y*

Hmm.... now all you need´s a dwarf magnate called Onassis.... X-D

[iamded]

Looks neat! Though I woulda thought, having spent so much time underground, the Dwarfs would dislike the open ocean. Still, it's a neat MOC, with a great use of those wheels and new crates. *y*

[The Penguin]

Thank you all ladies and gentlemen! ) I hope that you will also like my MOC-s that are to come! *sweet*

Any other comments, suggestions? )

[Dragonator]

That is really cool! I love the whole look of it; Dwarfs and steampunk boat. X-D

The wheel at the back is very creative too. Is there a storage area in the hull for the oil, it looks like there is an opening for one?...

Nice work, can't wait to see what's next! *y*

Thank you very much, dragonator! :-)

Indeed there is a storage area in the hull and the oil is poured through the opening that you can see on the picture. ) *sweet* (The only problem is that it's too close to the furnace: dwarven oil tankers explode sometimes.... >:-) )

And in my future MOC-s I will, perhaps, include my previous dwarven creations:

Good day, gentlemen! ) *sweet*

Nice job! Very dwarfish, but also sleek. Never knew that hull would come in handy for a Castle MOC.
