Konajra Posted July 1, 2013 Hello All, Please allow me to show you my newest ship. It is the Grampian Don. A emergency Response Rescue Vessel of the Abberdeen based ship company North Star Shipping. It is used on the North sea to support oil platform and rescue people from oil platforms. it is 125 cm long, 32 cm wide, and about 74 cm high. As always is was first designed in Ldraw and then build. Estamated amount of bricks is about 15.000 - 16.000 There should be two larger daughter crafts on the 2 davits midship but at the moment I'm not motivated to design and build them. I hope that I am before I show this ship at Skaerbaek in september.

jimmynick Posted July 1, 2013 Oh - wow, these big boat models are always astonishing every time they debut. The shape of the hull is very nice. I don't know how you feel about studs, but maybe you could use some wing plates on the hull to get rid of the jagged edges the tiles make? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kivi Posted July 2, 2013 This is truly an awesome ship. It's so full of details, not to mention the sheer size of it. I like how you made the hull and got very nice curved lines. I don't mind the edges of the tiles, they give the entire creation kind of 'bricky' appearance, so you can see even from the distance that it is made of lego. But personally I think that it only lacks some minifigs that would make the entire creation more lively. Very nice work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Green Hair Posted July 3, 2013 Again a true masterpiece, well done! What scale is it in? I think it looks roughly like minifig scale, or am I wrong? Oh and I wasn't really missing the extra boats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hrw-Amen Posted July 3, 2013 Looks fabulous. Have we not had mini-figures as crew before though, I seem to remember them but perhaps my mind plays tricks on me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SheepEater Posted July 3, 2013 Great MOC! But as other have said, it would look better with minifigs. Can you please place a variety of town minifigs in there and then take some more pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
