M1R3S Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 After quite some time hiding in the closet a small 6268 - "renegade runner" ship was found, along with a couple of days to spend ! Later on I found out unused bricks from Lego set Atlantis came up rather productive. So...feeling nostalgic after a long time without Lego, since playing with those was like 20yrs ago I thought, why wouldnt I make those unused briks into something usefull ? So there it is, I present you the newly born "Atlantis Prowler Jr." ! I used Lego 6286 as my quide for captains suite, available bricks on my desk brought me somewhere else, but ok, since this is MOC, I think it should be fine ! SidePic One Mast 8B Despite the fact this ship is as small as it gets, it was possible to make a dungeon with capture doors and front bars for prisoner to have some light in his confined space ! The doors are blended in with their surroundings, so you wouldnt really know theres anything hiding below. MiniDungeon Sides can be opened as with serious bigger ships, comes in handy really, couldnt live without it now forum image hosting I updated the canon (Variant 6286 - Skulls Eye), modified myself, because original was to deep in the hull and fixed on ground. This one can move left and forth and has more place to move arround. Canon Portrait The captains quarters are high, just as I wanted them to be. I must say I'm satisfied with the result, keeping in mind the limited resources I had at my disposal SidePicLeft SidePicRight The decor is massive, I thought if I'm putting some time into it I might make it also count. Theres a thin line between enough and too much,therefore I hope I reached the golden middle there...chains also add some flow to the silhouette. FrontView From top its all visible, much more space to move arround, more deckspace also makes up for opticaly bigger ship. TopView As you can see all that is left original is compass, hull pieces, canon and sails, other bricks are all from Lego Atlantis Set. Hope you like it, I do because it's the smallest ship in my fleet ! Quote
Kolonialbeamter Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 It's a lovely little mess, this ship, a bit like a tiny version of the Flying Dutchman. Wreak some havoc with it! Keep it up! Quote
blackdeathgr Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Nice :) Chains and claws on ships are always ferocious :P Quote
Staslegomaster Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Even with limited resources you managed to creat a complicating MOC. Is it based on the schooner Scull's Eye of 1993 or on a simplier ship of Captain Iron Hook? Quote
robjoh Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 The renegade runner was my favorite ship as a kid (I also own the much bigger BSB). You have done a splendid work building on that small frame. Even with limited resources you managed to creat a complicating MOC. Is it based on the schooner Scull's Eye of 1993 or on a simplier ship of Captain Iron Hook? First line in the description. Based on Renegade Runner. Quote
Staslegomaster Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 "Renegate Runner" is a proper name for the shipwhich violated laws and escaped death herself!!! It became a kind of Flying Dutchman. Quote
M1R3S Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 Perhaps, Im thinking about starting another project wich will include the white ship 6280, also found in the closet, and some pinkish to blue brick texture from girly LEGO stuff...should come thogether nicely using the right bricks, since pirates also needed companionship back in those days ;) Quote
