This is a collaboration between me and @Legostone . We present: The Inferno! Soon after 71391 Bowser Airship was released, I collected enough medium nougat coloured hull pieces to build a ship. Initially my intention was to build a replica of the famous Inferno, as seen in the move The Goonies. However, upon closer inspection of the reference material, we eventually decided to deviate and add some more interesting features. David came over to my place for a Ship Building Weekend, we had done one of those before, resulting in the creation of the Revenant. This is what we started from, on a Friday evening: (I typically collect potential useful parts in the hull of a WIP ship, that's just my process ) And this is what we had at the end of the weekend. Needless to say, we had been quite productive. One might even call this speed-building. From there on I continued on my own to finish this beauty. Though we continued to discuss solutions via whatsapp. I had never built a ship with a sprit topmast before, for a more classic galleon rig. It's more tricky than a modern bowsprit, meant for jibs, but I think it works. Some things we didn't like about the Goonies' Inferno are: the not so glorious stern (we wanted galleries!), the odd position of the main mast and the lack of fire power (Our ship now runs a compliment of 18 12-pounder guns on a dedicated gun deck and we left some room on the upper deck for additional 3 pounder guns, though I've only placed two near the capstan. The colour scheme is one I am very happy with, On top of the medium nougat hull sit the walls, which are made out of (old) dark grey. It more brownish tone, compared to the newer Bluish Grey, works great on a "wooden" ship. David and I had collected just enough rust-coloured gunport flaps, before Bricklink decided that Rust is not an official colour . To be fair it's not that different from regular red but still, regular red might have been too bright to play nice with the rest of this particular colour palette. Above the main gun deck, we have a splendid marriage of dark orange and dark red, continuing all the way up to the beakhead. On top of the stern medium nougat makes a return. I find that the reuse of the hull colour elsewhere on the ship often works well to bring some balance in the colour scheme. Pearl gold serves as decorations, ornamenting the prow and stern. I've taken some pictures before I added the sails, as it is often easier to see more of the ship itself that way. The deck is made entirely of dark tan. I personally find that reddish brown is easily overused so I've tried to limit it for little details on deck only. I had these printed tiles from the Snow White set, which goes well on the binnacle. Concerning the helm, a ship like this really isn't supposed to have a steering wheel. A whipstaff would have been more appropriate There is no interior, on a fully rigged ship it doesn't make much sense investing time in details into an interior that can never be accessed anyway. I'm very happy with these grates, I had these built already for another ship but it just felt right to use them on this one. (It's going to hurt collecting more reddish brown fences, they're quite expensive ) I think medium nougat would work well for the masts, instead of the current tan. Unfortunately I only considered that when the standing rigging had already been applied. Captain William B. Pordobel, can't forget about him. And that concludes our business, let me know if you like it. David and I are already discussing a new ship to build on another ship-building weekend .

Ahoy! I had some spare time recently, so I decided to play with Bricklink Studio and build a soldier's ship - this is how the "Royal Navy Frigate" was created. It consists of 1293 bricks; dimensions are 59.5 cm x 44.1 cm x 21.8 cm. Main features 3 cannons that can be quickly moved to both sides; an easily removable deck that provides access to the ship's hold; an anchor on chain controlled by a rotating mechanism – the front part of the ship can be also entirely taked out; a furnitured captain's cabin accessible from both sides thanks to hinged drop-down walls; additional space under the stateroom, which can be used as a berthing or prison cell for captured pirates; 5 minifigures: admiral, two officers, and two soldiers. All elements except those in metallic gold, one in dark bluish gray and minifigures were already in production. As for sails – these are parts #87675 and #87676 – with new printing design. To be honest this post is bitter-sweet for me, because I also wanted to invite you to Lego Ideas to support this project - unfortunately today it was rejected due to the fact TLG released Pirates of the Barracuda Bay in LEGO Ideas line. The comment I received was reffering to "commonality of design between galleon and frigate style ships", so "this build would fall under this concept category and sadly overlap". I don't see any possibility to change it so I am not going to resubmit it. Anyway, time for images

After spending more than 2 years investing both time and money into his businesses and properties in Queenston, Killian yearned for adventure, the very essence that had drawn him to Queenston. With both his ships The Parvus and The Delphinus Orca acquired for the coast guard by Mayor Edward Scarver, he embarked on the construction of a new vessel, Pandora. As he gazes back at what he has accomplished, memories of Queenston linger, but the shifting winds now directs his ambitions to the vast sea ahead. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Worked on it for a while with the rigging taking half of the time and also beeing busy last year. I took most of the inspiration is from this ship modell. I had to make all the ropes and rigging in Blender before exporting them as parts to Studio. The ship was created with the idea of building it with real bricks. I and @Justsomebrix have already started the construction.

This little fishing boat is about to set sail! This cute boat is the fishing vessel of Pablo, an old bearded fisherman who loves spending his days fishing and sailing in the open sea. The boat is equipped with everything you need for deep-sea fishing. Theo, Pablo's best friend, is waiting for him on the pier with his kitten to find out what fish he has caught. About the set This brick-built vessel amazes for the extreme similarity to the real ones and for the attention to detail. The set is composed by the hull, the cabin and a front compartment to store the caught fish. Two minifigures are included in the diorama, Pablo and Theo. A small pier completes the set which looks like a nice postcard. The boat is built with many special and fun techniques, for sure you will love to build it! The cabin of the boat can be lifted up to reveal the engine compartment beneath it. The front compartment can also be lifted and there is a small storage area underneath. Fishing Boat is on BRICKLINK DESIGNER PROGRAM 5 and could become an official set! It now needs your support, if you like it you can support it! With your support, hopefully we can turn the Fishing Boat into an actual LEGO BDP set. Thank you all for your support, comments and shares!

Now officially on Lego Ideas. The Spirit of Kahuka, Royal Lego Islanders Catamaran. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/4043c161-d43d-4d1f-9e19-5aadf087de98 https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=557507 Reworked the sail and still have some ideas for some improvement on the design. I thought I posted this already a week ago but it doesn't show up in my posted so I guess something went wrong. If you like it please support me on Ideas :D

(I was torn between Train Tech and Town forums for this thread, so if it needs moving - don't hesitate to move it, mods!) Recently a Flickr user named elijahleestewart commented on one of my riverboat pictures asking about me making a Ninjago ferry from season 4. I said I already had City set 60119 (Ferry) and was not interested in making another. But this conversation got wheels turning, and about two hours later I came up with this vessel you see here, which was made by tearing apart my original Ferry to revise it. The port / left side of the vessel. From here you can see the ladder to access the bridge. The starboard (or right side). The opening gates no longer fold down (as in the original set 60119), but they do split apart to allow train cars to be loaded two at a time. You can load two of the bigger cars (24 or 28 studs long), three 16-long cars, or a single 34 stud long depressed center car on this ferry or you can mix and match. (The last 34 stud long car type is too long to have two of it's kind on there, but it can fit one 34 long and another of anything shorter than that such as a 16, 24 or 28.) The roof section of the bridge is removable to place figures at the controls. Another source of inspiration was the Albatross, a former Vicksburg-area railroad ferry from 1907 that was converted to a St. Louis river cruising ship (one of the largest vessels ever on the river) called the Admiral in the late 1930's which then became a casino and then was sadly scrapped in 2011. You can read about the Admiral here on Wikipedia, and view a picture of the Albatross on Flickr here, courtesy of the Herman T. Pott National Inland Waterways Library. (You can loose a few hours perusing through steamboats on that Flickr page!) ...That's all I got. Thoughts, comments, opinions, and questions welcome! -
Another 2024 lego 'city' moc. Stuff is really wilding this year.

I originally built this 103-stud long 1920's Adventurers tramp steam ship from two Adventurers sets: I enlarged the ship from set 5975 - T-Rex Transport and modified it to resemble the vessel from set 5976 - River Expedition. The resulting ship (which is named the Eastern Star) features a lifeboat, steering wheel, and a smokestack plus I have the bridge with removable roof for the top deck of the ship, and captain's quarters for the lower floor. Currently, an ornithopter (inspired by set 70913 - Scarecrow Fearful Face-off) is being transported, as well as a live T-Rex in a cage. The ladders hanging on the side of the lower deck lead the way to the ship's bridge on the upper level. The life boat is also located back here. This T-Rex (from set 6720 - Tyrannosaurus Rex) looks none to happy about being caged! The bridge features a nautical telegraph / engine controls and the wheel. The lower level features the captain's quarters, with a table full of priceless relics and ancient maps... plus a dynamite plunger. NOTES: I built this ship in 2018, added the dinosaur and cage in 2022, and finally got around to taking photos in 2024... sorry for the 6-year long wait! Thoughts?

"I told you to watch your health, my friend." Montoya sighed. "Not even Hercules himself would have been able to do what you attempted after such an ordeal." "I could have sworn I was almost as good as new..." Cooke insisted, stretching his arms. "But perhaps one should listen to his doctor..." "Now, I am up, back in strength both physically and mentally - only to find my beloved country at war, and myself without a ship! Languishing at shore..." "Bah, you know perfectly well you will soon feel the deck under your feet again. The Royal Navy is ever in need of competent officers, and you have proven yourself many a time. A command will come your way." Montoya said in an attempt to cheer up his friend. "To be perfectly honest, I would take any plank that could float, even that old tub!" Cooke pointed to the ancient-looking, but elegant caravel docked at the quayside. "Oh, is she a warship? I took her for a merchant..." "What a fellow you are, Isaac. As you see, she carries nary a gun. She is the old 'Chester Castle', a trader out of Balondia. Altough I have to say, her master keeps her in an excellent condition!" _______________________________ A build for Westface, which will be licensed as a medium commerce for myself. The ship will be posted and licensed separately. Here you see the full build:

The Destrier Although the day of the war galley is long drowned, many still ply the seas. In Nouveau Oleandia, a Mokolei galley has been pressed into service by Provisional Command No.1. Due to the nature of galleys, they make for poor gunnery platforms but tend to compensate with high maneuverability and large compliments of men. These attributes are perfectly suited to armed, coastal patrol vessals. In the case of the Destrier, a revolving platoon of infantry from Nouveau Oleandia's 4e Regiment de Triallieur Dionysian, accompanies the vessal on its patrols.

My second entry into the 90th anniversary contest at LEGO Ideas. This build are actually two builds, One is based on the classic pirates set Broadside Brig (although it might as well be Lagoon Lock-up, the two are conceptually very similar)... ...The other is based on 6265 Sabre Island. But the real star of this creation is the little ship! The hull is very similar to my earlier one (Cross Bone Clipper) Only the Broadside Brig part has an interior, although there's plenty of space to make some on Sabre Island as well.

*Your entry has earned 14 XP* The VFS Sustainer, an MC-190A Battleship, protects Kinyen sovereignty by patrolling the system for encroaching hostile vessels. The agriworld of Kinyen—homeworld of the Gran—suffered greatly under Imperial rule for their rebellion. The planetary government has turned out to be a staunch ally of the Freedom Fighters and Followers of the Force, who share their ideals of peace, kinship, and community living. The blockade at Kinyen secures neutrality by blocking invasions from either the Empire or Republic into the other's space on the Great Gran Run. The Followers of the Force have established a Blockade at Kinyen. (More photos to come! Happy New Year!) -
Hi! It's not a new MOC, but finally I was managed to film a video with English comments, so here you can find a piece of true winter :) The model is 73 cm long, weights 2.4 kg (without underwater stabilizer) and contains seven motors and 2x Buwizz receivers. The main feature of the model - it can really break the ice. Functions: buggy motor for the screw, working rudder, two drills and adjustable trim of the vessel. More photos you can find in the album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/141718063@N06/albums/72177720295371540 Thanks for watching :) -
Brethren of the Brick Seas: Class 7 Rating system of the Royal Navy: 6th rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rating_system_of_the_Royal_Navy TOB 11 by Philippe, auf Flickr The hull leans slightly outwards on the side, then inwards. I don't like Tetris on the ship's deck and railing. That's why I built it mostly flat and with few height differences. I want to see curves and as few corners as possible. TOB 07 by Philippe, auf Flickr The captain's cabin is a little wider. Here the hull is built towards the outside at the bottom and towards the inside at the top. TOB 08 by Philippe, auf Flickr Light cannons have been added on the upper deck. Because the ship is wider, the cannons can also be operated. There is enough space in width. These must of course be smaller than the cannons on the cannon deck. TOB 09 by Philippe, auf Flickr Swivel guns are always useful. I moved the main mast further back. A longer row boat was built. TOB 05 by Philippe, auf Flickr I improved the shape of the ship. I like the view from above. I can even see that the hull is getting narrower towards the top. TOB 06 by Philippe, auf Flickr My ships are similar but not the same "learning by doing". Correcting and changing is too time-consuming, changes to the ship's hull have consequences for the entire ship, building a new one is easier. Every ship is a new build with improvements. TOB 10 by Philippe, auf Flickr I'm not entirely happy with the bow of this ship. Maybe I can build the bow differently and better. I don't know, at the moment I have no idea. I like the rest, maybe just small improvements. TOB 04 by Philippe, auf Flickr I like that I can build the ship wider and more realistic with the Custom Hull. The widest point on the main deck 24 studs (included railing). The main deck is from the aft to the forward railing 87 studs (included railing), at the feet of figurehead 96 studs. The waterline is 87 studs. Total length 117 studs. http://www.suave.net/~dave/cgi/scale.cgi TOB 01 by Philippe, auf Flickr It's good that I building digitally. So, I don't have to spend any money for bricks to build a ship that I don't like when it's finished. Sails are just decoration, with real bricks I use cotton sails. Masts and rigging are adapted to the existing sails. A digital build should also look good and realistic. That also includes minifigures. TOB 02 by Philippe, auf Flickr

Brethren of the Brick Seas: Class 7 Another MOC from the 21322 Barracuda Ship. Venezia 05 by Philippe, auf Flickr My first Barracuda Frigate had too many flaws and things that I didn't like. That's why I rebuilt this one. Venezia 06 by Philippe, auf Flickr The bug was completely changed. Venezia 07 by Philippe, auf Flickr The gradations and Tetris curves for the cannons remain. Venezia 13 by Philippe, auf Flickr The deck only has 3 levels. Before it was 7 and I was annoyed when I wanted to place something on the deck. Venezia 09 by Philippe, auf Flickr Ship railing now has no Tetris levels. Venezia 12 by Philippe, auf Flickr The masts and rigging were built more realistically. Venezia 11 by Philippe, auf Flickr For the sails I will use fabric ones. I only built it from Lego bricks so that the photos are more interesting. Venezia 10 by Philippe, auf Flickr A ship only comes to life with minifigures. Therefore, a crew that is ready for boarding. Some pirates have bottles-grenades.

I have already published all ships in the pirate forum. This means that they can also see people who are not on BoBS. Maybe this will give new members. The court wants, that I also present the ships in the BoBS forum. This is my modest fleet of merchant ships. Out of consideration and solidarity with some people on the crew who are color-blind, the fleet sails under the black flag. In this way, the color-blind can recognize their own ships. The ships transport air guitars, which we swap with other merchant ships for something else.

As said in the title, something has to be done about my accounts, after having realized that I own only 7 dbs. Luckily, there are 3 ships readily available, I built them many months ago, now it's time to put them into good use. I hope they'll sail safely and swiftly and earn me a bunch of doubloons this turn. Here's another one, la Blonde It's a upgraded version of the new BBS, I've added one extra hull section and some other mods.

A small ship to transport some cargo. I'm going to be honest, I h ate building small ships, just because I don't know what to do/how to design them.

My micro prize class 5 is required to fly the black, so I present the Blackjack: It's a MOD of the ship in a bottle, similar to my previous El Genio, but with different style of sails and different color scheme, and some other minor alterations. I'm not sure if the dark orange works for the stern windows or not, but I wanted the overall color scheme to be subdued: Some more pics here: And the ship name will be even more appropriate once I renew my ongoing storyline with the currently-captured-by-the-Lotii Jack and Kate... All C&C welcome!
