Murdoch17 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 You are standing near the railing on a bridge over a harbor on a foggy night. Suddenley, a shape comes out of the fog. At first, it seems be a large ferry. But as it keeps comming, you realize this is no ferry. As the distant ship comes into view, you faintley make out a name on the bow. RMS Hogsmeade it says. And, just then, the ship blows it's loud whistle as it passes under the bridge... Okay, enough background. This ship was built by me two years ago. I recentley rediscovered it, and made it buyable again. Oh, and I know the ship's name sounds weird, but I wanted to use all official parts for the build, meaning no custom stickers. It's only in LDD for now, but I plan on buying it eventually. Here are the pics: front view Rear view Side view This is my scale picture. That 1x1 stud is a minifig in scale with the ship. And the facts sheet. Oh, and this may be in wrong section. I though of ethier Other or Town forums. (Since CITY has a harbor...) Sorry, no LXF file yet. Don't have it setup yet! Thanks for reading, Comments and Questions are welcome! Quote
Fuzzylegobricks Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Great Build! It does belong in town I think. Wow there is a lot of LDD models today, you have a really sturdy detailed boat. two questions. WIP? Real Boat? :thumbup: Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 It looks like the RMS Titanic of the White Star Line Ships Nice cad project in any case Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Not bad LDD creation....I wonder how many bricks it would take to make this minifig scale ? Brick On LDD On 'Murdoch17' ! Quote
Murdoch17 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Okay, yes, it's sort of a work in progress. No it's not a real boat. I based the name off a Harry Potter sign from 2004. Here's a link to Bricklink for the part I plan on using. The tan pieces on the ship are for the sign. And, yes, it was the Titanic in the begining, but that was a long time ago. In fact, I took a nod toward the White Star Line in that last pic, by changing the name of the company to Red Star Line. Along with the company, I took the builder's name (Harland & Wolff in real life) and changed it to Hartford & Wolf. And if you add 10 years from 1909 (when Titanic was started) and when she was finished (1912) you get 1919 and 1921, the years my ship was built and launched. Everything else is mine... well except for the Top speed was taken from the RMS Queen Mary... Quote
