Horry Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I designed an old trimaran a couple of weeks ago to accompany my frigate. Since the comments for it mainly said: nice but would be a better ship for the town-section, I took the time to rebuild it to make it look more to my liking. Now I'd like to present my first MOC for town since I was a child: This small trimaran is not so much for regattas but more for recreational activities. I did not smoothen the amas as I haven't got enough blue studless bricks. Additionally I have to say that there are neither rigging nor sails. As it is only a side-project I might decide to work a bit more on it but for now I consider it to be complete. Comments and criticism appreciated!

Fuzzylegobricks Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Very nice trimaran Horry! I sailed one a few years ago they are very shifty. The supports on the edge are really cool but maybe make them a little thicker. The platform is also great with the figs and the steering system. And one last idea, what about a interior? I know this is a side project but it could be a bit better. Very fantastic build! Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Now this is an original idea and it's a great SNOT job too ! 'Fuzzy' I not sure if an interior is possible, but anyway 'Horry' fantastic designing there and keep on sailing ! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 A very interesting and unique creation, first time I've seen a trimaran build. Looks good, nice work Horry! Quote
Horry Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 Thank you all very much! A interior would be difficult and I left it out on purpose as those vessels are more for short trips. But now that you mentioned it I will try to do one anyway. Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Brilliant MOC Horry! The design is just awesome and will certainly stand out in the harbour. The choice of colours are great too. Nice work. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Very nice trimaran 'Horry' Haven't seen one of these since 'Waterworld'. This one looks fast, great build. Quote
Horry Posted May 24, 2011 Author Posted May 24, 2011 Thanks for all the kind comments! I've proven two things now. The first thing is: bricks CAN float - and rather nicely. The second one: There's room for a small cabin. I added a sliding hatch to access it. Inside, there's room to store stuff and a little light. swimming von HMSCentaur auf Flickr cabin von HMSCentaur auf Flickr cabin closed von HMSCentaur auf Flickr Quote
