[MOC] Catamarans, catamarans, catamarans !

[Professor Thaum]

I decided to try some piratey catamaran myself some months ago, and finally I come with that.

I'm not fully satisfied of all the ships as some are sails that fit not well (oversized or undersized IMHO)

 

 

Here the Marlin, with a bermudian rigging (sails too small for me)

the Sailfish, classical gaff-rigged catamaran.

The Kingfish, inspired by Euron Greyjoy's ship in GoT;

The Bonefish, a drakkar catamaran, I'm very proud of this one.

The Swordfish, with a xebec sail (a little bit too small IMHO too)

And the Tarpon, Prao inspired, but the sail feels too scrappy.

 

C&C welcome as usual.

Finally! Someone has built some catamaran MOCs!

Been wanting photos of something like this for an Instagram post.

Here is something 'spooky'.

Just yesterday I had my regular Sunday movie afternoon with my three 8+ years olds, and we were in a treat for some open-sea catamaran action. Yes you guessed it, we watched Waterworld and in the following post-movie discussion my nephew said it would be cool to do some catamaran (or trimaran) out of LEGO. Imagine my surprise today when I saw your two topics

So, do you have in your [WIP] portfolio any trimaran from Waterworld?

I love the sail on this one, the print.

not yet, but it is in project

I particularly like all of them.
The sails look great.
Catamarans are always interesting, especially given the fact that the crew was forced to spend time in a confined space with no alternatives.

Everything looks very flexible and lively.

A very nice selection of different catamarans.

I've been on a little catamaran kick as well having recently built the Ninjago one and working on my Islanders display. These are some really fun MOCs!

Very nice, these catamarans remember me the movie "Waterworld", despite this it was set in a post-atomic future

Sorry, someone anticipated my thought...

Is it a possibility if you could upgrade the quality of the photography like you did with the Magnetic North?

These catamarans could go far and wide with social media suitable images.

[Professor Thaum]

No sorry, I will not have access to a professional photographer this time.

Oh, I forgot you used a professional photographer last time.
