So here is really my first MOC on a large scale and I really need some feedback.
I started with the intention of building a USCGC 270 but then once I got into
realized that the scale was more appropriate for a USCGC 210
http://www.uscg.mil/datasheet/images/WMEC-210.jpg. I have a lot of the outside
detail work to finish up and it won’t be exact it has been a start with
something and build it to be my own as it is my first one. Gotta start somewhere
and this was the biggest start somewhere I could find :)
The boat measures:
24 studs wide
168 studs long
Also I know that the ship looks a little short in comparison the the bow of the
boat. I have extended the whole portion after the bow by another 24 studs from
what is in the picture above but I don’t have an updated picture because I am
waiting for parts.
I have 2 sides to the ship, one looks more like the ship would if you saw it in
real life and the other which is in the picture above is completely made with
clear walls so that you can see inside.
Here is my always updated personal gallery link for anyone interested in more
pictures:

| It looks really good - way to go! Big boats are always good. The bow looks a bit blocky - I guess you did it with slopes; you might want to look at how the designers make boat hulls with plates, however, I can't do any better, so I can't really (...)

| (...) Is that really what the interior of a Coast Guard cutter looks like? I've never been on a USCG boat before, but I've been on lots of other boats of similar size before, and none of them have been nearly that spacious. Your bridge looks like a (...)

| (...) It looks pretty good for a boat. I'm not a boat expert, but I thought that Coast Guard cutters (at least US Coast Guard) had a large red stripe on the bow. My grandfather claims to have invented this as a means for aerial recognition, though I (...) (18 years ago, 22-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
