Adventurers "Deja Vu 2" - steam-powered Junk (70618 MOD)

Recommended Posts

To create this steampunk-like Adventurers vessel, I added six studs of length to the Destiny's Bounty (set 70618), removed the sails, lanterns, flags, plants and assorted details.

I then put twin smokestacks on the deck, and dual paddle wheels amidships.

I was inspired to do all this by this picture of a prototype of the Destiny's Bounty from the "Making of the Ninjago movie" book. (Pic courtesy of legozeba's Flickr page)

The rear of the ship is supposed to feature "Deja Vu 2" in printed 1 x 1 tiles next to the telescope on the balcony.

I'm still working on the inside details, which should hopefully have an engine room with boilers to power the paddles.

I haven't thought up a backstory for this ship.... yet. (I'm still working on incorporating it into my Adventurers / Monster Fighters / Pharaoh's Quest / Alpha Team shared universe story-wise.)

Any thoughts, ideas, criticism, or complaints are welcome, and are helpful in making the ship better, so please, post away!!

EDIT 101/10/17: I just added restyled and enclosed ship's bridge with actual windows, plus a new name: Deja Vu 2. I bet you heard it somewhere before... :wink:

Nice concept, but I think those wheels need some decoration.

This is really cool. Are you going to build it for real? I'm thinking i might build something similar myself.

 

Sadly, this model will not be built, but you can build it if you want. Please post pictures if you do @turk187!
