Big!

How far are you in the building process?

[neonic]

DAMN  
It's gonna be huge. 7feet ... about 2meter long? Wow
Looking impressive already.

Wondering where you gonna put it when it's ready. Guess you need a big shelf  (and firm)

the underwater part of the hull is near complete,the other pics is from a completed model for a customer but the current one will be fully working,both are the same ships be it Njord Viking and the completed Magne Viking (TENET)

nozzle to make yet around the prop

[jim7564]

some more done now waiting on a few 1000 red tiles and slopes from Bricklink

motors installed for side thrusters

motor for steering ram

steering ram for both rudders

 

[Shiva]

Good thing I don't need to buy red bricks :)

Atleast in any bigger quantities :D

Looks nice.

[jim7564]

Motor for one of the 2 main props

the 2 main corridors that run down each side for pipework and crew protection

stern roller

 

how many of you would think it would be wrong to paint the props bronze or is it better to leave them as is

 

[jim7564]

[Fuppylodders]

Mental!  Absolute huge too!!
Personally I'd leave the props as they are. A minor detail that doesn't really get noticed whether it's bronze or dark tan (I think that's what it is?) when there is so much more else to look at! The rope winches with the S-brick logo look really good, as does the rest of it.

[MB Scale Models]

you know what you are doing LOL

[jim7564]

Bow section done up to the waterline

2 side thrusters motorized with LED  lights aswell

cut out bottom of hull for the telescopic Azimuth thruster which is completely motorized

Azimuth thruster in its lowered position this rotates 360 degrees

I enjoy following this build. So satisfying to watch the flow of the squared parts into an organic shape. 

[jim7564]

ROV A-frame this wil be motorized with a door also motorized once the hangar is built around it

ROV hangar is 3 decks high which should give enough clearance for the frame to fit inside

[jim7564]

ROV still needs work but overall the shape is kinda there

ROV door can turn 180 degrees atlast the axle goes beneath the main deck where the motor/reduction can fit

waiting on Bricklink orders to get more done

now to change the A-frame to blue as it is on the ship so I found out today when it came in to the harbour

Thanks Edwin that means alot from such an expert as yourself.studying your builds and Konajara,s makes this build possible,

[Toastie]

This is totally crazy. It is, as if you were building the original. No welding though - no nuts and bolts. Just studs, pins and so on.

Crazy. But totally cool and fascinating. You must have very very detailed plans of the original, right?

(On your post from January 1st, 3rd photo down, on the very left: That glass is used to have a nice sip of Whiskey, when you call it a day, right )

I am looking so much forward to enjoying this ship once finished!

Best wishes,
Thorsten

[jim7564]

Azimuth thruster tested and working be it a bit fragile

thrusters tested and working

anchor and mooring winch

a few problems setting the S-brick to work the azimuth and thrusters through a 9v transformer

Hi Jim Love the way off details and that you got the towing pins get to work. The only minor is the lightning system and looks odd to me. Ore make it your self ore order lights form this website and you have only loop them and ad a USB cable and with 220V ore 110V phone adapter to 4.5 volt and is plug and play. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnl.aliexpress.com%2Fitem%2F4001132330260.html%3Fspm%3Da2g0o.detail.1000023.7.3fdcdf14e7S1o7%26fbclid%3DIwAR3vQzlR_g0zgoiUIvhNvhkKsCUXb-CZ2OvNP1rx-URCD4WbDa77toXYiT4&h=AT2LnJZHO73HFBgMQKI2G10KPTQhbt3_9eaMX4u59MxXu4HmL1xZqPE3JO_4XM5kdewg77jdcqapebJM79HTwAjVNDNlLmi1aEHQXytmo44mwP3vtg7jB-CpPWEY7wafxHOP&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT1N1UABvMNmyDSfncaFvTSQmnmMWFCUHEaiC3l6PXmnmdmcpZOInvS4mvQwU_d8HbX0FLiYQGTQAZQmaLjiVO6wOMHpT40FuHSltLnER98--X9zxcOA9Wy8HewmmiOOJnyA_7fhjIyhoWpig6d2Num2jQ

thanks Edwin that is good of you I may be in touch for your help and advice,studying your building makes this possible but not wanting to just copy what you do that would not be right,this is the second build (first being the Magne Viking) so its slightly easier to tweak it here and there changing parts that was too late to do in the first build plus motorizing everything,

some more done as pieces arrive but it just eats them up esp with the interior so there is no void spaces when you look through a doorway or window

hull looks nice now and still to put tiles/slopes for that smooth look

fo/castle will be covered and only visible through the mooring slots and doorway,winch is not motorized as yet (not sure if it should be) opinions ??

view from the gangway cutout looking in to where the waterfall winches will be
