Adolfo Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Very beautiful boat with interesting color scheme and nice details in it. Congrats! Quote
cei Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Absolutely adore this, to the point I want to build my own. Any chance of further information as to your building method, or even some form of instructions? Quote
Lego Dino 500 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 This is amazing! If Lego made more City and Creator boats like this, my allowance would be sucked dryer than a desert. You have to put this on Lego Ideas. The shaping of the hull is good, the details are good, and the only gripes I have are that it's a tiny bit small, and some of the slightly illegal part connections. I'd love to see larger vessels built with this method. Just imagine a Lego Creator Cruise Ship built with this method. This is absolutely perfect. Quote
Ex cinno Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Very nice yacht... I would see well around the Venice's canals. Quote
ER0L Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Beautiful yacht, shape of the hull is great. Glad you like it! Extremely beautiful boat - excellent design! Many thanks! Beautiful yacht ! Thanks a lot! Wow this is fantastic! The shape, colors... Work of a genious! Glad you like it! Very nicely done! Thank you very much! Very beautiful boat with interesting color scheme and nice details in it. Congrats! Many thanks! Absolutely adore this, to the point I want to build my own. Any chance of further information as to your building method, or even some form of instructions? Glad you like it! Sorry, there are no instructions. It's difficult to tell something about the building method, since it's usually rather chaotic, but I try to work on the whole structure from the beginning rather than starting with a certain aspect. I built the hull (see above) first and then used some quickly built dummies to mimic the superstructure to get an impression of the proportions and dimensions. Anyhow it's nice to have something to relate to (like I had Joshua's boat) to see if you're on the right track. If you want to have a lighting its crucial that you take it into account in an early state to keep enough room for lamps and wires. Hope that helps, if there are special questions, just ask.

I'd love to see larger vessels built with this method. Just imagine a Lego Creator Cruise Ship built with this method. This is absolutely perfect. Thank you very much! To be honest, I'm no fan of Ideas as a builder (other than as a customer) for several reasons. A hull like this would never pass, same for quite a few details. The result would be a completely different design (see Ecto-1).If this MOC inspires other builders to create similar boats (like Joshua's design inspired me) I'm already happy. Very nice yacht... I would see well around the Venice's canals. Thank you very much! Didn't think of Venice, but yeah, it surely would look nice there, too. Ah, Venice ... Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Wow, this is a beautiful MOC ER0L! Not much that hasn't been said, but I absolutely love the look of this. Very well done Quote
gazumpty Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Genius work that tricks you into thinking the hull is a single moulded piece. Wonderful! Quote

eliza Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 This is a beautifully detailed and well-proportioned model. I really love it. Quote
Bricknblue Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Holy ship that's nice! I didn't even think a curve that smoothly was even possible. Quote
Kodan Black Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Very great feel to this model. Smooth and has a lot of character. I'd say you captured the intended subject perfectly! Quote

Legogal Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Wowser! You nailed the shape with such awesome curves! The lifeboat and deck chairs are so easy on the eyes. Perfect for navigating the circling the islands and dinner along the canals of Venice and docking at St. Peter's for an espresso. Ladies, now pull out your Grace Kelly outfit, tie your matching headscarf, unpack those sunglasses, and climb aboard! (I know she was famous in the 50's and later, but she would have looked dynamite in your boat.) Quote

Thanks a lot for all those nice impressions, they correspond exactly to what I had in mind - something glamourous. Maybe this young lady will be found sooner or later partying on board the yacht. She definitely needs some sunglasses though ... Quote
L@go Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 It's a gorgeous yacht, and particularly the shaping of the hull is very cleverly done, with a beautiful result. Very, very impressive! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 This is a sweet piece of art! The choice of woods in brown and white is perfect ...this is a masterpiece for all lovers of the sea! :wub_drool: Quote

Breakdown Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Instantly reminded me of the Wanda III - in terms of style and colours. Obviously not the narrow double-decker. On this side of the pond we don't have much in the way of steamships or Steam powered Yachts left - how about over there?? Here the Noronic disaster acted to swiftly and brutally destroy any steamships still lingering on our interior lakes in the 1950's. Quote
paul_delahaye Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Very tidy colour scheme, must have taken ages to get in all those details. Quote

Here the Noronic disaster acted to swiftly and brutally destroy any steamships still lingering on our interior lakes in the 1950's. There are some similarities but this vessel is no steam powered yacht. Usually the commuter yachts of the Twenties and Thirties had twin diesel engines and were very fast. Regarding steam ships: Quite a few of them are already existing in Germany, mainly as passenger ships on lakes and rivers. Very tidy colour scheme, must have taken ages to get in all those details. Thank you! It took about six weeks to build the yacht. Quote
Bennemans Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 inspirational! An absolute favorite for me! Quote
kurigan Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I'm straying pretty far from home waters here, but I'm glad I did. This was quite a treat to find. Great lines, nice application of technique and an overall great design. It's a very clean, streamlined sort of boat, but you've worked in a lot of subtle detail. It's no stretch to say she brightened my day. Thank you for sharing her! One question; what part did you use for the door? Quote
Hoexbroe Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I dont remember if I have commented on this one yet, but I have certainly been following the build from earlier WIP photos. (I always follow any "curved-hull" construction with the most interest) It´s a very lovely boat, full of interresting and well-done detials! A first class build! Quote
