Derfel Cadarn Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 112A Sorry if this has been seen before, but I havn't seen it on here and I thought this was a great moc of this famous ship. Its by Henrik Hoexbroe and its built in 1:50 scale. Check out more details on his flickr page My link Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) It has already been posted in the Special LEGO themes forum by Hoexbroe himself. (EDIT: here it is) But personally I don't see that as a problem because it's a very nice ship and it can have some more attention in this forum. It could be nice if you pm him about it though, so he can check all the comments Edited March 15, 2011 by Admiral Croissant Quote

Well hopefully it should get a bit more exposure here as ships are a big part of this forum, and this is the best clipper ive seen built. Thanks for the info, I have messaged him, so he knows its here. Quote
lt.Gonville brickhead Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 This is great and the rigging also.And even minifig scale. Quote
Dreamweb Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Absolutely amazing. I think now would be a good time to blog it, so... [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp]...soon! Quote
Hoexbroe Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, Well, that was a nice surprise! Thanks for the attention. It´s an honour! You guys are right; I should have presented the MOC in this forum from the start. But as my ship wasn´t a pirate-ship, and didnt even have guns, I thought it wouldn´t be right for Classic-Pirates. I have since become wiser, but felt that the moment for presenting the MOC had passed (as in "old stuff"). If I ever do another sailing-ship, be sure that I will share it here first! The Cutty Sark was presented at the big anual HispaBrick 2010 meeting in Barcelona, Spain, and it was also my first public participation in a LEGO-event. The MOC earned me a lot of attention, and was blogged in several places (including TBB), and several real-magazine articles was published, including ordinary non-LEGO newspapers from Greenwhich and Dumbarton (the scottish town where the vessel was originally built!) I am currently working on a new (BIG!) MOC to be presented publicly (so being my 2nd public LEGO-event, hehe) at the beginning of April. It´s also sea-related, albeight NOT sailing ships. Here´s a sneak-peak of a small part of it all; -It´s interessting that this small boat uses the SAME building tecnique as the Cutty Sark, although the hull is only about a third of the Cutty... Again; thanks for this extra attention for the Cutty. -a MOC dismantled a long time ago! (I never keep any of my MOCs...) Edited March 16, 2011 by Hoexbroe Quote
Big Cam Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I love the way you did the deck, are those tiles or sideways bricks? Upon closer look I see they are sideways bricks, that's brilliant. Quote
Allu Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 It's amazing. When i see such a MOC i feel pity cuz, I am not talented in building MOCs at all... Quote
BrickPerfection Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I saw this on flickr before, it's a simply amazing ship that is very true to the oringinal and uses an extremely innovative and realistic technique for the hull. Great job, really! Congrats Hoexbroe! Please don't be so modest in the future! This MOC is one of those few that qulify for a whole different category of Lego ships due to its sheer awesomeness.

Admiral of the Red Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 the curve of the hull is amazing; how was it done? from the smaller boat i see you have a continuous length of hull, but... how do you get the rectangular bricks to bend that way??? Quote
Brig. Brick Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 this is ART!!! Simply amazing the Hull, the color scheme, the sails, the small boats, the secind tug boat, everything... Love it Quote

Thanks again for the comments! (to all!) Basically, the bricks flex nicely if you put together a lot of 1x2 bricks in long rows. Try it!!! Quote
Jedi master Brick Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 It an exxcellent model, shame about the real thing being repaired, though this is absoultly stunning Quote
