I appreachite a few WIP pics after the MOC is finished. It is nice to see how the MOC developed.

I don't like this bumping your own topic again and again every few days so it stays at the top of the first page.

Just make a nice presentation with the finished MOC and some WIP pictures, and post it at once. This "fake WIP" setup is not a nice thing to do imo. People will think of suggestions and improvement ideas, but in reality they could save their breath because the MOC is done already.

Hi,

If you have a problem with someones posting behavior, please use the report button and refrain from mini-modding. Let Moderators and Admins do their work please.

To make myself clear; I am not saying your are wrong, I am not saying your are right. I'm saying to use the report button or sending a PM to a staff member if you want to discuss it in more detail.

@Jim got it. I was never a friend of reporting people. I didn't have the intention to impersonate a MOD, only to share my own opinin. I will keep it in mind and my mouth shut

@me00rjb Too much to digest in one go? It's like 7 pics with not very much text. I think the authors contents in this thread are still less that a normal presentation for a big MOC. I think your attention span should ba able to manage this quite easily if you are actually interested.

And I personally wouldn't appreachiate if everybody started bumping their own MOC threads every two days for no real reason.

 Hi @Gray Gear,

Normal you have right and i am start with a WIP topic, but in this case i haved to wait, that i got permission from the client to make something public.

Many people like to see how a ship is build up and you make your point that i can understand that, so here are the ready build picures

Wow, compared to the real pictures you hit the nail on the head I think. A ship entusiast would probably recognize it at once! 

As I said before I am not really happy with the "blocky" nature of the slopes in the front and back, using bricks mounted at an angle like in the LEGO Titanic would have been a better solution imo. Especially that blue area in the rear that now has a "stepped" look to it would have been pretty simple to mount at an angle instead. The rest of the ship looks super smooth and clean! You should be brave and try to work with some angles in the angled sections.

And I just now noticed that the small structure on top must be like a crane system on rails used to move the cover plates! Very cool! I know this would be a challenge, but it would be even cooler if it would actually work with RC motors!

Well done.

Thanks for the reply and only the side of the Titanic looks smoother, but this models have a mirror for standing on, so you can also see the bottem of the model and whit the Titanic you see plates instead off smooth bricks. It's a choosie and got a budget and deadline to work with.

I like it, it gives a nice LEGO feel.
