Carefully Captain Norbert Palstek navigates the Evita in direction Snotting Lock. His beauty lies deep in the water of the Bricks*. Aboard are 1000tons cellulose acetate scrap for the recycling plant in Cross-Axtelton. Soon the Evita arrives in Cross-Axtleton and the the cargo will be unloaded.

Special:

Cause modular buildup, Evita is very handy in transportation. If the display is tightly the Evita can arranged without the middle part, so you have a "coupe" version of the ship. I swear never build again light bluish grey fridges! The doors are very expensive.

It's a beauty! Great shaping and lovely presentation!

[Patgeo]

Great work! I really liked the hull of the ship, all the little details that you added, plus the fact that you made it modular, which is great for moving/storing!

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Very fine!

[THERIZE]

Awesome!!

But really, did you have to make my sister a barge?...

It's outstanding!!!

[marook]

Lovely! Wanna build the river for it.. ;-)

[TenorPenny]

Wonderful modular construction throughout.

I think this might be the best use I've seen for those pesky Minifig bases that I've seen to date, beautiful model.

[Withacee]

Great build!

The cabin/bridge is absolutely brilliant, and I love the details on the deck and the modular design.

Keep clicking those bricks together!

[Ragnos]

That is magnificent! I especially like the smaller version of the ship.

[Kodan Black]

Beautiful. Very clean lines and a nice full interior also. You've done a great job in your color usage also.

[snaillad]

Great looking ship! The hull is particularly well done.

[Nemo57]

Excellent work. Great use of supports for minifigures. Modularity, variability at the highest level. Reality is in embodiment and beauty go together in this work.

I'm very interested in building a Lego ship like this, your MOC is an inspiration for me, it's awesome.

[BricksMcgee]

Great build, and nice use for all of the minifigure base plates! Minifigs are well-matched too!

[InspectorSarky]

Your presentation was really vivid and nice to read. I look forward to more 'stories' from your future MOCS.

How could something so trashy look soooo good? The shortened boat looks just as good- in fact, I think I might like it more than the full-size one! This MOC is a masterclass in Lego boat-building. the hull is fantastic, and the bridge tower is a beautiful example of simplicity looking freaking amazing.
