LEGO Guy Bri Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Hello everyone, I have recently finished my most recent MOC. It started as a BL of bow parts for a Tanker or other large vessel. However, when the part arrived, I realized they were two different sizes. Word of warning: Do NOT compile BL orders while intoxicated... Anyway, I decided to continue and use them for another type of ship I don't have. After some thought, it hit me, I have way more fish than fishermen and surely they can't supply a whole city! So why not a trawler? It is built to the scale and level of detail I am accustom to ( a 5yr old ), so it fits right in with my other MOCs and sets. It was a fun easy build. Without anymore blah blah, here is a brief day by day of the build. Enjoy! The Hull: TheHold and Lower Deck: I wanted easy access to the hold, so I built accordingly. The Cabin: With all the bells and whistles to catch them fishies and avoid bad weather. ( I see I need to push that sticker's corner in) The Roof: With all the necessary equipment, RADAR, lights, A/C, etc. Mast and Sorting Table: Folded for travel. Under operation, loose tray attaches and extends over port side for easier unloading. Bridge tray will lay flat on railing, and unplanned feature. Simple, but works! Note the brackets between the forward and rear lights. A hoist will remove the cabin, at these 4 points when docked, to unload the catch The Finished Boat: I haven't decided if I want to add an engine in the room behind the fish hold or make it a supply closet, since the waterline hase to be the bottom of the ship. Oh well, I hope you enjoyed my new boat and thank you for reading! For the complete build visit Cityslicker on BS, or just click HERE. Comments or suggestions welcomed Quote

harton Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Those ships always remind me of that movie, The storm I think, your crawl is great, I like how you detailed it. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks for commenting andythenorth, lightningtiger, and harton! Those ships always remind me of that movie, The storm I think, your crawl is great, I like how you detailed it. The Andrea Gail's hull was my source of inspiration for hull design. Since seeing The Perfect Storm, she is the only ship I knew to look up Quote
The Dutch Guy Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Great build there Lego Guy Bri. Very realistic. I like the interior of the bridge. You have made good use of the printed slopes. Your ship gave me an impression of a totaly diferent movie. I saw Tom Hanks on the bridge calling Lt.Dan. Quote
streifen Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Your trawler is really awesome! the hull is part brick-built? makes me feel like I am in the fishing documentary on Discovery Channel! Quote
Kai NRG Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Nice job, looks quite realistic and I love the net! Looks like they haven't caught any fishes today! (Or is that going into the water?) Quote
soccerkid6 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Looks very realistic! The boom with the net is great as are the interior details Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Thank you [The] Dutch Guy, streifen, Kai NRG, and soccerkid6. Your ship gave me an impression of a totaly diferent movie. I saw Tom Hanks on the bridge calling Lt.Dan. I love that Forest Gump! Based on it's size, I can see the similarities the hull is part brick-built? Yes, the hull is entirely brick built with these and this Nice job, looks quite realistic and I love the net! Looks like they haven't caught any fishes today! (Or is that going into the water?) Trying to get the netting just right is a bit of a task. I'm not totally satisfied and may still try and alter it. Unfortunately it's still "for sale" in dry dock. No crew or water to fish yet Thanks again for commenting everyone Edited October 23, 2012 by LEGO Guy Bri Quote
