Hello All,

For the last 1,5 year I've been building on a habour scene. I called the town Bickton Harbour. In this 1,5 year I have built 5 buikdings and several ships.

It started with Harpers baitshop. A small wooden building on a pier.

After this model I designed and built Gilbert. A fuel and oil company:

 

But what is a harbour without ships. I had a few ships around but they were all to big in scale and size to fit this scene. So I built a LEGO City style trawler and somewhat later an American style tugboat.

Tugger 1 is also on LEGO ideas, so....... when I put this all together it looks like this:

And then the following problem: the catched fish needs to be brought to land, so i needed some fishing company. When I had built that I thought that the green trawler was somewhat small. And again I built a ship. This time a Shrimpboat. One ship let to another and now the company Patterson Seafood owns 2 shrimpboats. This piece of my harbour scene was on display at Skearbeak 2017:

The last 2 buildings I have added are a shipchandler called O'Donnell Brothers and a small railway Freigt Depot from BR (Brickton Railways)

Last week I connected everthing together and this is the result.

 

The train in my harbour is a modified copy of the EMD model 40 from commander wolf. The darkblue fishingboat is a modified copy of a model from Mr.Zumbi.

Hats off.

Very impressive, as we are used to be when seeing your grear builds! How many round plates did you use for the water...

Wow.  I like how each building has it's own unique personality.  And so many detail that make the scene come alive.  Very well done.

Absolutely superb. The colours, the detailing and overall feel - it just works so well together and makes it so very lifelike. A place I would like to visit and stay for a while. 

Jaw dropping, Amazing!

love love this!

Greetings ( groetjes )

An already fantastic diorama became even more impressive!

The level of detail is stunning! I love the ships. Very reallistic.

Wow, it is indeed really nice! Did you build interiors for the buildings?

very nice !

i love how you made the water on the ocean.

this speed boat should match here

There are no interiors in the buildings. I would have to make one for the olive green though, because I want to put LEDs inside them to light it up. Without an interior that wouldn't make sense.

 

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone! 

Reminds me of Robert's Old Fishing Store and all the collection, only yours is less on a comecial scale and a straight out wonderful MOC. And studs as water works as great as it's ever worked.

Oh, and the layout of that Olive Green building is seriously impressive. My favourite of your houses!

Is it possible that I've seen part of this in Skaerbaek at the Lego fan weekend?

Amazingly perfect.
