hhcBrick Posted June 8, 2011 Here is an enlarged Maersk Ship which carries containers from the Maersk train. It also fits minifigures on the bridge.

lightningtiger Posted June 8, 2011 Totally AWESOME 'hhcbrick' ! Fantastic bridge and realistic haul too.....oh, why doesn't Lego bring out a set like this with a crane to boot ? Keep up the AWESOME work and Brick On 'hhcbrick' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha Posted June 9, 2011 This is brilliant! Fantastic bridge and realistic haul too.....oh, why doesn't Lego bring out a set like this with a crane to boot ? Yes I wish they would as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted June 9, 2011 This is awesome! If only they made a set like this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted June 9, 2011 Great job on expanding the Maersk Ship hhcBrick! Like what they say, bigger is better as is in the case of this one. The control bridge is wonderfully-detailed too, excellently done overall! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzylegobricks Posted June 9, 2011 Very powerful overall look to it! I love the bridge and the wider hull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cimddwc Posted June 9, 2011 Great work on this ship, this would fit nicely in a harbour/train setup. But I hope the ship never gets into an emergency situation since you seem to have forgotten some life boats. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hhcBrick Posted June 9, 2011 Thanks very much everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorbas Posted June 9, 2011 This is excellent, I love it! One of the things I had in mind too was to convert the Maersk ship into a minifig/city scale one and I must say that yours looks fantastic. It's great that it can carry a good number of Maersk containers (and even more if you load the 2007 Harbour containers). The bridge looks brilliant with all these details and most importantly with all that space (no more One Man Show in the bridge ). Thanks for the photos and for sharing your creation with us hhcBrick!

LEGO Guy Bri Posted June 9, 2011 Great job 'hccBrick'. It's great to see this ship on the minifig scale. Makes me want to get one to beef up. Awesome idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syn Posted June 9, 2011 Now I would ACTUALLY buy that ship! I've never been a big fan of Lego boats but this one, I would most defiantly purchase!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yeow Posted June 9, 2011 Very nice! My Maersk ship is still in it's box, and now I'm afraid to build it after seeing your changes. Did you use two sets of the ship to do this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hhcBrick Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks! I used 3 sets, plus a Bricklink order, but I was also able to make a smaller ship that carries classic 4 x 8 containers from these pieces. I think it might be possible to make the large ship from 2 sets but you would need some extra 1 x 10 Maersk blue bricks. Very nice!

RubeusHagrid Posted June 11, 2011 This is AMAZING I really wish Lego would make this set... How did you make it? (ie: 2 x Maersk Ship??) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hhcBrick Posted June 11, 2011 Thanks! As I said earlier, I have 3 Maersk ships and some additional parts, but I was able to build another smaller model using all these pieces. You might be able to get away with 2 Maersk ships, some extra Maersk blue parts and some extra windows and white bricks for the superstructure.

L@go Posted June 16, 2011 Yep. Great conversion - this is what the set should have looked like in the first place. Don't dare to think how expensive it would have been, though... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingstop Posted June 16, 2011 Damn... I bought all the bits to make this and then went travelling in USA... and you beat me to it! Looks great as well!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego Man Can Posted June 17, 2011 That's amazing! I wish I had one, although I do already have the City Lines boat from the old harbour... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
