Count Vroskri Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I loved Lego's new Steamboat so set out to create my own. A lot of techniques and inspo from Legos new set, and the design for the craft herself was inspired by the current steamboat 'Natchez'. She has around 15941 parts, including base, and 15176 without, including 484 1x1 white plates, 291 white profile 1x2 bricks ( brick design) and 576 1x4 white brick profile bricks (which dont exist), 1050 telescopes, and 1082 1x6 brown tiles. The name 'Amelia' has no significance to me, but its the same as lego's new steamer, the reason i had chosen it. There is a full interior on my flickr and I can show some more photos if you'd like. Theres a full engine room, toilet for crew, kitchen, entertainment area, gift shop, and more. and a comparison to a vessel the rough size of Legos new steamer. So yea, pretty large size difference. This is my largest MOC by both size and part count. I've kept the post brief but if anyone has any questions, or just general c and c, thats totally appreciated! Good day all! Quote
Murdoch17 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 "...and we're Rollin', Rollin', Rollin' on the river!" That song ('Proud Mary' by Creedence Clearwater Revival) was the first thing that popped into my head upon seeing this MOC. You did a fantastic job with this old-fashioned sternwheel steamboat - It sure puts the new Lego set to shame! Keep up the good work @Count Vroskri! Quote

That kinda song really evokes the kind of time period I was going for with the vessel. Being from the UK, I havent seen many steamboats in my life, and its the first i've ever built, so her construction was a real eye-opener for me on a lot of angles! Quote
Daiman Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Fantastic! If you build this you are going to need a bigger display case. This thing is huuuuge.. Quote
