[WIP] Floating Resort

[JunkstyleGio]

Getting more and more impressive!

[grum64]

This is turning out to be a real beauty :thumbup:

[Edwin Korstanje]

Thanks friends for the great comments.

I struggle to find the right sphere to make all the details on the sterns sundeck with pool in this crazy small scale, but i think i got it.

[Kristof]

I think you got it! :D

[Gabi_BC]

Why isn't there a like button on this forum?!

[Edwin Korstanje]

Thanks guys

[Jonfensu]

Wow! Those details in such small size

[z3_2drive]

Beautiful progress :thumbup:

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

That's exactly what I noticed too, so much detail in this small scale...love it buddy!

[JJ2]

Wow amazing detail

[Edwin Korstanje]

The detail work is the most fun part on any build, but have to do also a lot of repeat work with this ship.

[grum64]

It just gets better and better

[BusterHaus]

Excellent details. What happens to this model after the expo?

[Kristof]

I kinda like how this is a 'classic' regular build. No crazy snoting, no extensive use of unusual parts. It pretty much looks like a grown up lego creator set :D Is this intentional? The simplicity? Or is that just workflow given by the models nature?

[Cumulonimbus]

Very impressive. One question: seeing your model nearing its full height, it feels a bit narrow compared to its height, did you calculate the dimensions in studs according to your scale? I looked at the images of the real ships on page 1 of this topic again and although they are pretty high for their width, I think that by the time you have added the stacks and bridge, it might be a bit out of proportion? I could be wrong though.

Thanks Bart,

The model stays together after Legoworld(Netherlands and Brickmania(Belgium)

Only the hull is build in SNOT ore stud out and because of the scale you don't need a lot of fancy technique's (sometime less is more) and there is at the superstructure some repeating work in it.

No you are not to be wrong and have to make a compromise in height.

Every floor is a half plate to high and can't build in a half plate, so it's ore to low ore to high.

I make the decision, because i have a budget for this build to make it a half plate to high and not a half plate to low(need more parts then) and also otherwise the trans black panels for fencing are way of.

Here you can see how small a room is in this scale and also the sunbeds on it are way to big, but it's all finding the right sphere.

I will keep your comment i my mind and for a next project in this crazy scale and can better then make it 2 studs wider to compromise it.

Well if the deviation is only 1/2 plate per floor, given that you have about 8 floors, that makes 4 plates - I guess the overal height is now about 80 plates which makes it only 5%. I doubt that it makes any visual difference.

However, I have to agree that the proportion of height and width looks different than on the pictures of the real ship. And it really looks more than 5%. But that could be perspective maybe. Sometimes the camera lens can distort the view.

[Edwin Korstanje]

The L x W is easy to calculate 296 meter x 38 meter= 1.48 m x 19 cm in scale 1/200 and the height is more than 50 meter from the waterline( even for me they did't not give all the specs).

A half plate is 1,5 millimeter x 200= 30 cm per floor of

5% of is not bad for this scale, but when i have make it 2 studs wider it's compromise it a lot.( you never to old to learn)

A Lego shipyard would be an excellent setting for this, but i'm guessing that would run into something like 50.000+ parts

Is already done for the model in Lego from the Queen Mary 2 in minifig scale with more than a million parts

Edit: found a picture of her in Lego.

Hi Edwin,

Is this model on display in the future?

Would love to see is on a Lego show.

By the way, is that QM 2 on display somewhere, and how big is this beast?

Miscalculated a bit there

[syclone]

And up to this day I didn't know you were behind that beauty, amazing!ry!

Sorry!

My model will stand on Legoworld and Brickmania.

The model of the QM 2 is almost 8 meters long and build in a scale of 1/44 and stand in the Maritime museum in Hamburg(Germany).

And up to this day I didn't know you were behind that beauty, amazing!

The QM2 is not my model, but build by some German team and one Dutch BL trader

[grum64]

When are you going to grace us here in the UK with your presence and models? I know it's too late for this years show but Brick 2017 perhaps?
