SL Gabon: Studless Madness

[Edwin Korstanje]

Best EB members.

I starded a new moc and it's gona be even a bigger one than mine last one.

It's a ship again and is build in mine combination studless and studded style and is gona be build at scale 1 to 30.

The scaled dimensions are:

Lenght O.A: 1.36 m

Beam O.A: 0.39 m

I think that i need 35000 parts for it.

The owner of the brand new SL Gabon( delivery date december 2012) Smit Lamnalco have a lot off intrest to make mine model their own and have seen mine last Moc the RPA 15 and loved it.

They wand first seeing some progres to make it a deal.

In this topic i will let you now how i build this one.

I hope you like this project the same as i do.

Greets Edwin.

Orginal: the SL Gabon build by Damen Shipyards Stan Tug 4011.

Start from the hull

The RPA 15 gona be deliverd next week to his new owner.

Why always ships?

I bet this ship will be awesome once it's finished.

[The Player Nº1]

I'm waiting developments.

[Edwin Korstanje]

Could you take a picture of the old ship riding on the hull of the new one?

Great work anyways, it is huge!

Not jet, the hull is not finnisht and the inner struction to, mabey later on this week to holt the 18 kg off the RPA 15.

The SL Gabon is just about 36% bigger than the RPA 15.

I love the huge builds you always do. Although I would agree that I think you should build more heavy machinery.

[D3K]

Looks promising so far!

Based on your earlier work, I bet this will be even more impressive!!

Next, I assume Maersk or Hapag-Lloyd will contact you to build a in the same scale, to go with your RPA 15 and your SL Gabon

Thanks Tim for your reaction, and i like olso the technic aspect off Lego, but at nature i am a model builder and before mine dark age i make N scale (1/160) train layouts.

Because off mine work i have to much whit cars and trucks, that i want to build something different and get mine head clear.

[Nazgarot]

Great work so far. I really loved the RPA 15. But the cost... I could never do something like this simply because of the price.

Will you get room to fit a engine mock up inside this?

-ED-

The Sl Gabon is cheaper to build than the RPA 15 because off the color, and i can build inn a engine room but it's so big 1/3 off the length from the ship below the waterline and nobody seens it, olso it lose than so much off it's stiffnes, that the studded deck will crack .

If you sponserd a 10 meter desk and the parts , than NO PROBLEM

This will be very impressive again. I would kill for so many parts.

Just out of curiosity ... what was the cost of the RPA approximately, what was the cost for that box of parts AND what do you expect the Gabon to cost?

You lucky bastard.

I have try it and lucky the hull is already strong enough to hold it

here the picture off the RPA 15 on the SL Gabon.

[Paul B Technic]

Good luck with this. It is going to be great.

[rumpletump]

35000 parts? Wow that is my entire collection

[Boxerlego]

That is huge.

Challenge 2, put the RPA 15's deck on the new one and look at the size difference, and vise versa!

[rm8]

This is a studless madness!

[legomuppet9]

Awesomely huge I love it as with all your ships...
