dr_spock Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 The upcoming Harbour set has me dreaming about ships again. I have a Creator 4997 Ferry Transport. I thought wouldn't it be nice if it could carry my town's mini-fig passengers. So with a few bricks here and there. Voila...a larger bridge and a passenger deck. Self-served drinks in the passenger area. Changed lifeboat to one that is mini-fig sized. Life at sea is dangerous. To the life boat everyone. More on my brickshelf (once public) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=drspock Quote
buddy Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Great MOD! It was a good idea to modify the 4997 set into a minifgiure scale passenger ferry and you have done it well. It looks good and like a real ferry. Very well done. ~buddy~ Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I do like the new bridge and passenger levels, though overall size of the boat too short, you do need to lengthen it....then it will be perfect and it would even take some 4 wide cars. Great work anyway and Brick On 'dr_spock' ! Quote
Fuzzylegobricks Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Nice job! I have been trying to get myself to do something like this for a long time. Now where is the captain and crew? Quote
ManitobaMoe Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 cool, gets me thinking i have that set too ;) Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Nice MOD dr spock, this is the beauty of Creator sets as you only need to modify them slightly and you could convert them into a minifig-scale build, and you did a good job doing that with this ferry. Quote
dr_spock Posted March 26, 2011 Author Posted March 26, 2011 Thanks guys for feedback and comments. Nice job! I have been trying to get myself to do something like this for a long time. Now where is the captain and crew? I finally got a chance to take apart the bridge and take a pic. The captain and crew are on the bridge. Would an admiral be better? Lightningtiger, yes it does carry 4 wide vehicles. I don't think I can fit it on my display shelf if I lengthen it. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I like this enhanced version of Passenger Ferry It's more ralistic with minifigs on board Have a nice travel... Quote
Solitary Dark Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Fantastic - I want one - The last shot with the cars on deck is the seller. TLC should be selling this one. Quote
