Built in LDD. Scale 1: 350. Frigates pr.1135 - a unique series of warships, held at the Navy of the USSR and then Russia, Ukraine and India since the early 1970's to the present.

xboxtravis7992 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 I wonder what the Glomar Explorer would look like in that scale? The father in law of my aunt was deployed on the mission the Glomar took to recover that Soviet sub; and I think it would look good in your fleet. Quote

Nothing like that ever since nobody in the world did not hold. It is a pity that not all the dead sailors were able to raise to the surface.Maybe I'll try to make this ship, but not in the near future. Quote

Thank you! R09 Ark Royal was in the plans, I want to make it a model of the period prior to disposal, with the Phantoms and Buccaneers. Karel Doorman .... hmm ... perhaps, but let it be ARA Veinticinco de Mayo (V-2) :) Edited February 1, 2017 by seaman Quote
mechamike Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Beautiful ships!! Have you built any of them in actual bricks so far (or plan to)? Quote

Thanks! Yes, of course! Initially, I built models in actual bricks. But in LDD is much easier with a choice of detail, and, most importantly, with the choice of color. For example - anti-submarine destroyer PR. 1155 "Udaloy" More images and information...

drclark Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Love the ships! Are you doing "exact" 1/350 scale or best approximation with LEGO pieces? I have found that 1 stud = 10 ft is roughly 1/380 scale. Doing ships at this scale requires creative building techniques to achieve desired form/shape. And there are always compromises in getting the details sized correctly. I noticed the inveted 1x1 "with tooth" pieces used to paired with another 1x1 to represent a small boat on a few of the models. I thought that was a really creative use of that part for that particular detail! If LEGO could get over their issue with "contemporary military vehicles", I think a line of ships at this scale (similar to the architecture series) would be a good seller. They could do 1 or 2 a year mixing up commercial cargo ships and military ships both modern and historic vessels. There are plenty of museum ships that these type of sets might sell well in gift shops, etc. Drc Edited February 10, 2017 by drclark Quote
