Wow! That's a challenge! I've always dreamt of seeing a big ferry in minifig scale lego! Actually, I saw one of those ferries in LEGO, at a travel agency in Gothenburg. It wasn't minifig scale though, but really realistic. --Tobias (...) (24 years ago, 16-Sep-00, to lugnet.boats)

Tonight, I decided "Hey! I'm gonna build my first boat! I've never built a boat before!" I decided to build a houseboat. Have you ever seen McGuyver? He lives in a houseboat, and I'm going to try to build a boat somewhat like his. Well, not an exact (...) (24 years ago, 16-Sep-00, to lugnet.boats)

I've found a good way to make curved bows, like on the Titanic. Take a heck of a lot of 1x2 bircks, build two walls of the same length, attach them at a 90 degree angle, then bend the wall to attach to two other walls, to make the curved walls. (I (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jul-00, to lugnet.boats)
