Konajra Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Hi all, Please allow me to show you my latest moc. It is a small one compared to my latest build. it is a model of a IHC Merwede dredger. it is a standard, of the shelf vessel. I started this model in LDraw back in march 2012. Somehow I never got around to building it for real. IHC Merwede Dredger Beaver B50 by Konajra, on Flickr After building the FAIRPLAY-33 and the Grampian Don I had some dark red, red and white left over. Then I remembered the Ldraw file of the Dredger. So I took the leftovers and started building to find out how far I would come. To my own suprise I could complete the pontoons, structure for raising and lowering the cutterhead and a part of the wheelhouse.

At the beginning of this year someone from IHC Merwede send me an email asking if Í was going to build the model. I responded but did not hear from them again. So three weeks ago I just send IHC another email asking if they would be interested in the model once it was finished. This time they told me that they were. I now have finished the model and after LEGOWorld in Utrecht this october I bring the model to the IHC Merwede ship yard.

eurotrash Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Superb! I like how you've managed to get so much detail into it. Another perfect vessel. Quote
L@go Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 It's a bit surprising that there aren't more comments on this, because it really is just as lovely and detailed as your other stuff, Arjan. But I think maybe regular ships speak more to people hearts than stuff that looks more industrial. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing it at LEGO World :) Quote
Konajra Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 Thanks for the comments. And yes, Are you can see it next week. Quote
kciR Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I saw your MOCs today at Legoworld, I was blown away by the models although I had seen them all before on the pics you posted here. The size and amount of details are really impressive. Keep up the good work! Quote
y2kaoss Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 The level of detail work here is amazing. And what an inspired idea for a subject! Quote
