I sure would! I Don't know whether I'll build it unless I win the lottery haha

Thank you! That kinda song really evokes the kind of time period I was going for with the vessel. Being from the UK, I havent seen many steamboats in my life, and its the first i've ever built, so her construction was a real eye-opener for me on a lot of angles!

I loved Lego's new Steamboat so set out to create my own. A lot of techniques and inspo from Legos new set, and the design for the craft herself was inspired by the current steamboat 'Natchez'. She has around 15941 parts, including base, and 15176 without, including 484 1x1 white plates, 291 white profile 1x2 bricks ( brick design) and 576 1x4 white brick profile bricks (which dont exist), 1050 telescopes, and 1082 1x6 brown tiles. The name 'Amelia' has no significance to me, but its the same as lego's new steamer, the reason i had chosen it. There is a full interior on my flickr and I can show some more photos if you'd like. Theres a full engine room, toilet for crew, kitchen, entertainment area, gift shop, and more. and a comparison to a vessel the rough size of Legos new steamer. So yea, pretty large size difference. This is my largest MOC by both size and part count. I've kept the post brief but if anyone has any questions, or just general c and c, thats totally appreciated! Good day all!

Thanks for the compliments! I'm glad you took a look at my flickr to see the WIP photos. Thank you! I'll go check it out when I have time!

Thanks!, hopefulyl I can be a lot more active in future. Appreciate it! Good to see that some familiar faces are still around.

Thank you!

Hi all, I havent posted a topic here in about 4 years so forgive me if i make any formatting errors or similar. This is my MOC of a 34-Gun Sailing Frigate. Not inspired by any real sailing ships in particular. I'm currently looking for work so had a lot of free time and got it done in about a weeks time. Since i've never done rigging with 'bricks' and not string, i took a lot of inspiration from Frank Maurer on flickr - I made a large amout of mistakes with this MOC, and it definitely can't be built with real bricks. A few things id change would be the direction the that the floorboards run, and the lack of tumblehome on the upper part of the hull. Unfortunately due to the way that i built the hulls narrowing using hinge plates instead of half plate intervals with jumper plates i couldnt find a way to include it. this is mainly because i was planning on it being a much smaller, perhaps 14 or 18 gun sloop when i first started making it, but the size grew i soon realized this was a mistake. However im still proud of her being my first completed ship MOC in 4 years ( I had completed a few aircraft mocs in may of last year). Enjoy, C&C appreciated! (PS, Piece count for the ship herself is about 6k, with the base sitting at about 40K) Thanks, Have a good day all!

Wow, Gorgeous

Masterpiece of design and engineering.

Beautiful build and great part use.

Beautiful little sloop. Love your ships.

Wow! Neat little mocs and story. Welcome to BoBs, SevenDeadlyStreamers!

Brilliant! The slight curve on the tiles makes it appear the water is gliding off the cannon's rusty surface.

This is simply beautiful.

This is fantastic! The windows and arches are so detailed, the build is beautiful. The wooden lattice roof with the leaves really helps bring it to life !
