Your boats are awesome! It's a shame you have to sell them. Did you buy every part in Bricklink??

[Zerobricks]

You will miss it wont you? Like a child or a pet :D

Best Thebicyclestory,

I build the ships for my self, but if there is any intrest to sell it and get a good price for it, then it's no problem and give me a good promotion.

The most parts comes from Bricklink

You will miss it wont you? Like a child or a pet :D

You have complete right Zblj.

The build and designing off the RPA 15 was fun to do and it's feel that i lost mine baby .

Lucky the price what i got for it was so good that i can build SL Gabon for it, also the good promotion and the many trips makes it ok

Awesome! do you just use random colors for the inner structure to leave the other colors for the outer layers? Or does the color coding mean anything?

Wont you be passing near Holland soon?

As other said, you have a really unique and massive style of building! Will you sell this one too? Is it a build for a costumer?

Thanks Zblj,

That's a big pile of technic beams...

I was wondering how you choose the ships you build? Did you first consider the feasibility inLego or do you just choose ships that you like?

I love build tug boats and choose mine ship's off colors and details and than i look if its possible in lego, also with every new moc i want give the hulls a better shape in studdless.

The RPA 15 gives me good remembers off mine wedding and want build that ship and lucky i could buy all the last dark blue liftarms at BL.

Mine favorite tug boats are build by Damen Shipyards and the SL Gabon is a brand new one and is deliverd last december to Smit Lamnalco.

3 weeks ago it's arrived in Gabon (Africa) for a 5 years contract, to do some work for the oil offshore there.

When i choose a ship than i make contact with the shipyard ore the owner and ask for some draws and they give it to me.

When they see what i build than they loved it, and the rest is simple( big men with toys.......)

i did, but wasnt sure :) I wonder how much do the bricks lone cost?

I hope around the 0.09 cent per part Zblj

I thought about it again, he probably looked for the cheapest beams to save money.
