Konajra Posted November 14, 2011 V-A-2B This heli is meant to be stationed at the heli-platform on the "Calypso". the famous ocean explorer vessel of Jacques Cousteau. I started building it without creating it first in Ldraw, so I just discovered that it is just a litle too big for the ship. So I made an Ldraw version of it that is just a bit smaller. here is a photo of the helicopter and this will be the ship it is meant for. ( i still have to finish it in ldraw, before I start building it for real) hope you will like it. for more go to my Flickr page: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeepLeft Posted December 7, 2011 That ship is amazing, how long did it take to design it? Does it have an interior? I would love to have that in my yet to be added harbour. The helicopter fits in perfectly with the ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fyrmedhatt Posted December 9, 2011 The helicopter is great, but that ship is truly amazing! I'm absolutely awestruck and I'm extremely exited to see this in real bricks. Awesome job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konajra Posted January 9, 2012 and here is the start of the Calypso. Still need so many bricks to finish the complete ship. I will first finish the complete front section and then start to build the back section of the ship. The two parts will then be connected with technic pins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
