[MOC]Port Quinnton (part 2): Monument of Explorers

[Dreamweb]

Hello!

This is the second part of my modular port for the Bluecoat Army, which fits perfectly with the first part posted some time ago.

This part presents the Monument of Explorers, paying tribute to the great LEGO sailors of the past, and those who are yet to come. 

You can also find it on Instagram.

Enjoy!

Good to see the continuation. That marble ship sculpture looks lovely! Are we going to see both of these builds together, or be there a third module scheduled for the future? Either way, good job!

This is a great combination of old and new. You've got the old palm trees but new building techniques like all that texturing for the rocks. Great work.

You created an interesting mix of clean, somewhat straightforward, lines (the walkways and promenade path) with detailing on other parts of the build (the rockwall and parts pf the greenery). A difficult balance to be sure.

And that statue! "Unique" is to meagre a word to describe it!

[Derfel Cadarn]

Love the idea of the statue! I think you’ve managed to cram in a nice amount of details on that ship and the rest of the build sets it off nicely. 👍

Quite nice to have a "Boat Monument"!

Love the monument, marvelous!

Thanks! Yes those will be combined during exhibitions and the next step is to add a 3rd module between the statue part and the ramp part.

Actually there was an exhibition last weekend when the entire port (its current version) was used as a historical site for tourists as part of our LUG's Nice City collab project (see this picture on Instagram). But there will be future uses as a pirate-era build, with soldiers etc.

Thanks! I'm a huge fan of those old palm trees.

Thank you all, I wanted the monument to stand out in this scenery, it's not often that you see LEGO sailing ships in this scale, that's why I wanted to try something new!

As others have already said, the ship monument is a great idea and well executed too, makes a good alternative to the more standard statues.
