Hi Robin,
Great ship! I really your bigger version. And the tug is a nice touch as well.
I work on the waterfront in northwestern washington state. So I see tugs and
large freighters every day. I just have a couple of comments. The ship itself
is closer to being minifig scale, if it were a small container ship, but your
containers are still a bit small. I have unloaded a lot of these Sealand
containers and you can comfortably drive a forklift into them. In fact, two
forklifts can squeeze by each other if the drivers know what they are doing.
Most containers are about 8.5 feet wide inside (I am sure someone knows the
exact size and will correct me :-)) and vary in length. I think Sealand
containers are about 40 feet long. It doesn’t look like a fig can drive into
one. What do you think?
Anyway, I really like this MOC. You have done a great job! I hope you take my
comments as constructive criticism and not as bashing your MOC.
Build On!
Josh
