Your tug is coming on nicely,I can wait to see it finished.

[Edwin Korstanje]

Thanks Alasdair.

Have patience , i need 1 ore 2 month's to finished it complete.

it must be ready for Legoworld in october

This is shaping up very good. It seems even better than your RPA 15.

What scale is it (I can see from the first post that you are scaling it for 1:30, but is that accurate for all details as well)? It seems fairly close to minifig, but I can't make it work with a few details like the searchlight on top of the cockpit cabine...

Best Nazgarot,

The scale is 1 to 30 and is more in Jackstone fig's cise.

Minifig is at 1 to 44 scale and i have build mine first 2 ships in that sice, but give me to much problems with the liftarms to put the right details on it. the 1 to30 scale is much better to work in.

Just a small update.

[N-4K0]

Really impressive work

[Edwin Korstanje]

Really impressive work

Thanks @ Error404,

I have brake down almost the complete backwall to add some PF on the big winch, also make some PF lights to it and works now great.

Later on some video from the working winch.

The progress is now step by step and there are so many parts and details to go in it, but that was challence for building this ship, only the main deck whas more easy than the RPA 15.

Hopefuly you like the Progress.

Gr Edwin

You should be able to build a PF switch quite easily into the details of the boat,instead of running the power straight from the battery box.

[Edwin Korstanje]

The control off the winch is taken frome the remote train control. Not straight from the battery box

[Alasdair Ryan]

Ok.

[legomuppet9]

Great work thus far The scale is really impressive as I've probably already said... wish i had the parts to build a boat as beautiful as this

[Edwin Korstanje]

Thanks for the great reactions so far and made some progress this week.

The back cabine is now in building and this week i get mine last liftarms in house to close the bow and build the higher deck complete.

Greets Edwin.

IT's huge, Great job on there, Does it really float and go itself with motorized propellers?

No it will not float nor will move itself.

[N-4K0]

Dat bunch of parts

[Edwin Korstanje]

Today i starderd to make the first interior in the charterer's office and make also pf lights in it.

[Alasdair Ryan]

Do you plan on changing that blue hand on the left hand side light?

Edited June 23, 2013 by Alasdair Ryan

[Edwin Korstanje]

Off corse Alasdair, must come in from BL

[Alasdair Ryan]

Is the charterer's office not normally in the wheel house?

[Edwin Korstanje]

Normal it is, but in this ship not.

See photo from the forecastle deck.

I think, because i don't have seen this ship in real. he have his own office and can work from his office and also from the wheel house.
