Hello,

after reestablishing my posting privileges, I’d like to show my latest creation (part of a longer harbour project), a steamship in a style of the first decades of the 20th century: The freighter ‘Möwe’ (seagull)



It does not have a real model but I used many pictures of real ships of that type, to hit the same impression without being pedantic. The wooden planks as the main deck are a little bit unrealistic, but they support the impression of a model ship and give it a small shift to a comic style, which I like.

The ship is 1,34m long (4.34 ft) and if you like it, you could have a look to the BS-folder: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=238046

A great concept, beautifully executed. With regards to the planks, everything in LEGO has a degree of cartoonification, so if it gives the right impression without being too distorted, it's valid in my book. Al (who has also just got posting (...) (18 years ago, 5-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Stunning work. The model is packed full of details and since I'll annoy the people who know the names of things on ships if I try to comment on most of them I'll stick to what is probably my favourite detail... the captain's beard (small (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
