3 months in the making, my ship is finally done. This is a Canadian Coast Guard midshore patrol vessel. The first of 9 Hero-class patrol vessels, this one was launched in May, and the rest are to be completed sometime in 2013. The model is built to a scale of 1foot:1stud flickr Here is the real thing: Starboard: Port: Bridge:

I just bought it this week. It's a decent set for my first car technic set. I immediately modified it with PF, really simple with an m motor and xl motor.

I have put bricks through the dishwasher. They survived. Just make sure they are well secured and disable the drying cycle on the dishwasher. Another thing to try is the (clothes) washing machine. Toss the bricks in a pillowcase or very tight mesh bag and seal the end. you may have to rinse the bricks after because the pillowcase will collect the grime.

The cone and the 1x2 ribbed tile are MegaBlocks. The slope brick is from several UFO sets

I will take this as proof that Lego will never get a Transformers license. Why people even bother to ask for it in "what theme should Lego make" threads is beyond me. Also modern war, never going to happen.

I believe the information you are looking for is here.

I have a spare kitchen table where I display my 4-5 foot ships. Although, it's more of an "I don't have anywhere else to put this thing" storage option than it is display.

My dog actively avoids my Lego. Probably because it's painful to step on. Or maybe because I chase her with PF vehicles. yeah, that's probably it.
