Thanks to all! And thanks Milan for the move and the front page!

What a great LEGO version!

Thanks everyone! I also like the photos in the dark. I hope I can take some decent photos in the dark. but than the wether should be better.

It's both. I build as a hobby, and on request.

Yes, it is done. I have finnished the Ievolie Amaranth. While I was building the model the ships name changed into Guardian. That's because the contract for the ship went to another shippingcompany. It's now in the hands of Mutltraship. 165 cm long 45 cm wide and 93 cm tall, built with more than 40.000 bricks. fully lit with more than 70 leds.

I do not have a complete MLcad file of this one. the 2018 version is based upon the incomplete MLcad file on my site.

Big it is :) but Beat Felber has already built an excellent model of a 5760. I can't top that:)

Thanks, but I think the shovel above is an ugly, ugly UGLY piece of machinery :) first thng will probably be a dumptruck and than a CAT 8200 walking dragline

Thanks. Thanks, I have built of in 2015 but never really finished it. It turned out to be technical disaster. Caterpillar 8200 fully illuminated WIP by Arjan Oude Kotte, on Flickr Slewing was badly engineered and it could not walk any more, because of the total weight But I want to try again this year. I know, I used those on purpose, sometimes the ropes just wind up differently and than the bucket hangs out of line.This way I can keep it horizontal without constantly resetting the cables.

Hello all, I would like to show my latest moc: a Caterpillar electric rope shovel. It is an improved version of my 2014 shovel, which can be found here This one has a better crowd mechanism, a latch free dipper system and it drives a lot smoother. I also redesigned the operatorcabin, superstructure and added almost all the outside lights that are on the real machine. The crowd mechanism of the 2014 model worked like the real machine with ropes. Those worked well untill they broke. That was the point that I took the 2014 version apart. In this one I replaced the rope by a 8 thooth gear and gearrack, which is way better than the rope. It took me about 4 weeks to rebuid it from schratch.

I used around 40.000 plates. Thanks. Thank you.

Yes, there was a small part of it there. Thanks.

There are no interiors in the buildings. I would have to make one for the olive green though, because I want to put LEDs inside them to light it up. Without an interior that wouldn't make sense. Thanks for the nice comments, everyone!

Your cars are really good. I'm thinking about building some of your pick up trucks so they can be placed in my harbour layout. With credit to you of course!

Hello All, For the last 1,5 year I've been building on a habour scene. I called the town Bickton Harbour. In this 1,5 year I have built 5 buikdings and several ships. It started with Harpers baitshop. A small wooden building on a pier. After this model I designed and built Gilbert. A fuel and oil company: But what is a harbour without ships. I had a few ships around but they were all to big in scale and size to fit this scene. So I built a LEGO City style trawler and somewhat later an American style tugboat. Brickton harbor is taking shape by Arjan Oude Kotte, on Flickr Tugger 1 is also on LEGO ideas, so....... when I put this all together it looks like this: And then the following problem: the catched fish needs to be brought to land, so i needed some fishing company. When I had built that I thought that the green trawler was somewhat small. And again I built a ship. This time a Shrimpboat. One ship let to another and now the company Patterson Seafood owns 2 shrimpboats. This piece of my harbour scene was on display at Skearbeak 2017: The last 2 buildings I have added are a shipchandler called O'Donnell Brothers and a small railway Freigt Depot from BR (Brickton Railways) Last week I connected everthing together and this is the result. The train in my harbour is a modified copy of the EMD model 40 from commander wolf. The darkblue fishingboat is a modified copy of a model from Mr.Zumbi.

Thanks all! At the moment I have two more buildings that i will add to the harbour. Hopefully I can finnish them in time for Skaerbaek. There's also a new fishing boat, still a MLcad model but I can asure you that it will be a very nice one.

It has been a while since I placed a model here but I would like to share this one here in the city forum. My latest MOC is a small harbour tug. Styled after american harbour tugs.It is supposed to go in my harbour scene So I biuilt it in such a way that the lower part of the hull can be removed. That way it fits in a any city lay out. It is full of tiny details, a fully detailed wheelhouse and an engine under the funnel. I have uploaded this ship to LEGO Ideas, so if you like it please support.

Thanks guys! Meanwhile I have some more work done on the Alp Striker in MLCad. that project is on hold now while I'm building the Guardian. ( her name was changed into Guardian since Multraship took over the contract from Svitzer to man the ship for the Dutch coastguard. ALP Striker by Arjan Oude Kotte, on Flickr

Your trucks are great, I especially lke the scania's you did. I have to say though that I can not recognize your latest truck as a DAF instantly, but that might be because I not much of a "petrolhead"or in this case a Dieselhead :). Keep up the good work

So, after moving to a new house I finally had time to continue work on the Guardian. The hull is nearly finished as is the rear deck. last week I have been busy with installing LEDs in the cargorails and the winchhouse. at first I was pretty happy with the warm white color I had used for the lights in the cargorails but now the cold white LEDs are in place near the whinch I think I will also ut cold whit LEDs in the cargorails. Keeps me of the streets. here are some photos: And some more work on the Guardian. by Arjan Oude Kotte, on Flickr the next photos have been taken during LEGOWorld utrecht where I was building durimg opening hours of the event Soms quick (and bad) photos of the Guardian at LEGOWorld 2016 by Arjan Oude Kotte, on Flickr And some more by Arjan Oude Kotte, on Flickr I only made some mistakes so back home I had to take the whole bow apart and start over. you will not see the difference but now the hull looks like this on one side.

Thanks I am always amazed what some people can build out of wood. I for one can't. everything I build is more or less skewed :) some progress on the Ievoli Amaranth. Midsection frame has been built, and has the skin on the side. Frontsection frame is built, and now I'm putting the trusses on. After that I can start with what is the most time consuming part of this ship: putting the plates (skin) on the frontsection trusses. But that is also one of the best ones since you see the bowshape appear Ievoli Amaranth by Arjan Oude Kotte, on Flickr

Some work done on the Ievolie Amaranth. I have joined the bottom of the stern with the framework. Closed the side with plates and closed a large section of the deck. the onderside of the hull has partky been tiled Underside stern by Arjan Oude Kotte, on Flickr Closing the reardeck. by Arjan Oude Kotte, on Flickr

Thanks for the compliments. I think that the hulls are still improving. Thanks, I thought it was time to make my own topic here :) This is what I am building right now: The inside of the stern is gettting shape . by Arjan Oude Kotte, on Flickr It is the internal frame for the stern. Just like the part I have allready built it will be placed studs down in order to create a strong rear section of the Ievoli Amaranth, When it is done I will post a photo of the two parts together,

Thanks Thanks for your compliment I don't build models for a living. It's a just a litle side business Thanks, It is my goal to make them look like normal scale models.

Nice smooth model. I also like the drillpiece used as a gearbox clutch.
