The whole ship is a masterpiece, but this picture with the green light is absolutely gorgeous ...I think that this single image perfectly represents your genius!

Wow @LEGO Train 12 Volts love your comments and many thanks for that. There are dozen more of such details on her and for me it's the most fun part of the build. To bring a fantasie what a client have in their mind to life for his/her dream to real, is fantasic to do.

What's even greater to hear that not only the onwer, but also the staff and crew loved her and every detail is correct to the smallest point and size what's possible with LEGO®.

Nice anchor.
And you didn't exagerate about the challenge. Gradually narrowing down to the bow like that.

Chromed pieces to boot?
Looks like the client is a real connoisseur...

Thank you @GeoBrick and got lucky that the owner give me a good budget to build her, so what's in real is chromed, that i could also let real chromed(not painted) on the model and there is more than €500 only of chromed parts in her total.

 The whole model and design of it was a challenge.
 Not only had to be a static model but also with lighting, working elevator on the helicopter deck to the hangar below,
 but the application worked properly for days until you turned it off.
 Restart and the whole app was gone. Let various specialists take a look and then worked well for a few days.
 Reprogrammed and worked great on a stand alone. But such a stupid device even on a stand-alone mode, but only wanted to keep contacting the web, while everything is off on that device.
 For example, I eventually dropped the working lift for the helicopter, because the customer cannot bother with it that it always works well for a few days.
 The final solution is complete lighting recessed in the helicopter deck, with the same solution on the stern deck below the waterline.

 You see it when it's on, but when the lights aren't shining, they are invisible. Fortunately, the customer found this solution a lot more beautiful than the working helicopter lift.
 So he is happy and i am happy, Now it's plug and play with no problems anyway.

Another boat, another masterpiece 
Always amazing to see all those boats with all those details... and lights too, also great too see.
Great photo's too of the real one, bringing the boat on board. Must be great too see when you're creation is standing in the 'livingroom'.

[Mestari]

This is incredible... I think you know more than any of us how great this is. Well beyond my capabilities.

I did wonder where Edwin Korstanje disappeared. Fantastic model, thank you to you and the owner, so we can see it here on bricklink.

@Shiva I am not disappeared and build many other models and kits, but lost interest to post here on the Scale Modeling forum on EB, because got no feedback ore reactions at all. On Bricklink is nothing to see from me, than only for this project i needed more than 400k of parts. I think you meen Eurobricks and not Bricklink.

Before the last refit on the real ship and the changes, extetion on the big model, i also make a complete construction kit for the same owner with 3274 pcs in the scale 1:100 and is 70 cm long and my great buddy @JunkstyleGio made the instructions and box art and @JaapTechnic made the stickersheets for her. It was a hell of a job to design and part out all the parts, but the result was stunning.

I'm really late to the party but as a fellow shipbuilder I just had to share my absolute awe in this build. What a beast. I love the bow shaping. Fantastic fantastic job. 

Thanks for your great reply

I might have been a bit tired, when I wrote bricklink, instead of eurobricks :)

[Milan]

Next level, for sure.

It's always nice to hear from your client and see that they are still super happy with their model.

I am so exited that she got so great place onboard in the salon with now the new only two suport stands that's looking she floats almost free and survived 17 meter high waves with no glue at all and 48 kg on Lego and 1.83 meter long.

Brilliant build! This is something like I've always dreamed of building since I was a kid...

[Toastie]

@Edwin Korstanje

It truly is a masterpiece. No doubt at all. All has been said.

There is one aspect, I like to carefully add - I may be wrong. "Showing" is one thing. "Loving" a beautiful LEGO model is another.

Integrating the very model with lighting and a display that one can see from every angle in that room is - a different level, well, it is for me. Still, one can argue it is "showing" ... not so for me, in contrast. The model, as far as I am concerned, does not show - it "is" in itself. It is a piece of art in the setting. Which, again for me, makes a very big difference. It goes beyond being a master of building who did accomplish that ... towards an artist of creation and imagination.

Well, again, to me.

I am enjoying the photographs with the ship in its "final" place the most. The whole thread was a miracle, but seeing the outcome:

Slight bow, tipping hat. And all beyond belief.

All the best,
Thorsten

Very impressive!  I love these sorts of MOCs!  I've always loved superyachts and their gigantic size.  Everything about this MOC is brilliant.  I need to check the Scale Modelling Forum more often!
