[MOD] 60266 Ocean Exploration Ship

[legotownlinz]

Here's a picture of my modded exploration ship with relaxed color schema (red parts removed), increased height, hidden crane gear box and a few minor details added.

I've started to make instructions so that I can upload it to Rebrickable, but I can't find the large boat piece in Studio. Any ideas how to add it?

Looks better for sure!

The large Hulls (item 18913c02) are not on Studio yet.

Good work on the updated color scheme!

I might have found a workaround! The part exists in the Lego Digital Designer and when I import the lxf file in Studio then it is also there. However, it is not possible to connect other parts to it.

Much better final result!

I've made some additional improvements to the 60266 Ocean Exploration Ship, the biggest one is a deck at the front of the ship. Not only does the front look empty anymore but the deck also compensates the additional weight of the increased height of the rear cabin so that it looks better when floating in water.

Instructions are now available on Rebrickable.

Simple but effective additions - very nice!

I'll be honest, I still prefer the 2015 set though...
