rriggs Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Just digging about on my PC (trying to find a pic for my avatar) and came across pics of this old beastie. Built before I refurbished (cleaned!) my older bricks hence the grubiness of some of it but still quite a striking model nonetheless. Plenty of minifigs on deck to give an idea of scale and I've included interior shots too. An oldie but a goodie! The bow view: http://www.riggs-net.com/Images/ship0001.JPG The bow view again from above: http://www.riggs-net.com/Images/ship0003.JPG The stern view: http://www.riggs-net.com/Images/ship0004.JPG Note the baseplate from Police Station 6384 as part of the deck. Plus the back end does open to reveal a car deck but I never photographed it! Deck 3 - The bridge: http://www.riggs-net.com/Images/ship0007.JPG Deck 2 - The canteen and hospital: http://www.riggs-net.com/Images/ship0008.JPG Deck 1 - Research station and stores: http://www.riggs-net.com/Images/ship0009.JPG Cheers Rog Quote
DJ Force Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Okay, this beast is massive! Very impressive. However, I must confess that it´s just a little too blocky for my taste. Quote
maiq the liar Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Impressive! i'd hate to have that thing sailing my way! i'd surely be split in half! Quote

DJ Force Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 That's because it's made of Lego dude...!! No kidding? What I mean is it´s pretty basic. There´s some room for improvement there. Good base structure, but needs to be refined, IMO. Quote
rriggs Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 I know exactly what you mean of course DJ. I did build and rebuild and rebuild again several times during construction trying to get the look right. The scale of it makes this very difficult because each small change = massive number of bricks!! If only I had LDD when I did it... This is the kinda thing that I had in mind when shaping the front: http://www.hickerphoto.com/data/media/25/quebec-F76T0923.jpg The back was going to have some shape but I then decided to have a car ferry sytle rear door and it just ended up flat on the back.
