Posted May 20, 201212 yr Hello all, Since I could not continue my other ship because the lug bulk has not yet arrived, I decided to order the remaining bricks to build my other Ldraw file. the dutch steam tug "Maarten" stoomsleper maarten by Konajra, on Flickr I already had a lot of black for the hull because I took my P&H front shovel apart. The rest of the bricks I needed, I ordered on bricklink. Unfortunately one order got stuck in the mail, so I wasn't able to finish it. this is the state of the "maarten" at the moment. stoomsleper Maarten WIP (1) by Konajra, on Flickr stoomsleper Maarten WIP (2) by Konajra, on Flickr Hopefully the missing order arrives somewhere next week, so that I can finish this litle tug.

May 20, 201212 yr Every time I look at pics of your ships, I catch myself smiling - mainly because it's ridiculous how you manage to build such gorgeous models :) I'm running out of superlatives!
May 20, 201212 yr The ships you make look absolutely fantastic. Just amazing how you can get all the details in. I do have a request. Can you post some pics of the ship sawn in half lengthwise, i'd like to see the interior how you made the bow Or as we say in Dutch. Alsjeblieeeeeeeeeeft Edited May 20, 201212 yr by BasOne
May 20, 201212 yr Author Thanks L@go, if you want to see them for real sometime, this year I'm going to Lego® fanweekend in Skaerbaek, Denmark in september and to LEGO® Fanwelt 2012 in Cologne, germany in november. All of my ships will be there. the beamtrawler VLI-8, the tug Smit Bison, the Calypso, this one and I hope I can finish the Consul Pust before Skaerbaek too.

May 20, 201212 yr Great. looking forward to meet you. I assume it is going to be denmark? Indeed. My first Lego convention, I don't quite know what to expect. Looking forward to meeting you, too, and seeing those amazing ships! On topic: Do you expect to get back to the Consul Pust soon?
May 20, 201212 yr Author It's going to be my second. Last year I was 4 days at Legoworld Zwolle, The Netherlands. I don't know exactly when I can continue with the Consul Pust. I hope that the Lugbulk order arrives somewhere in june/ july. Then I'll be able to finish that trawler. I hope it is finished before the end of september. Why do you ask? Can't wait for it to be finished?
May 20, 201212 yr Beautiful so far 'Konajra', fantastic as usual....I can't wait to see it finished (though it looks it ). Brick On 'Konajra' !
May 20, 201212 yr That is quite some steamship! Really great. You could use it of course to get sinterklaas ashore in November ;) Very nice details! You should also expose it on steam days next summer holidays (Zwolle / Hasselt region).
May 20, 201212 yr Why do you ask? Can't wait for it to be finished? Yeah. I hope you get it done before Skærbæk! :)
May 21, 201212 yr Konajra, I have utilized a smaller image size from your Flickr. Posted images are not allowed to be over 800x600 per member guidlines, and rarely need to be over 600x450.
May 25, 201212 yr Author @ Phred: I'll keep it in mind. I manage to finish the steamtug today. Pretty happy with how it turned out. It is much smaller than my other ships but never the less it was a nice model to build. here are some photos: stoomsleper Maarten by Konajra, on Flickr stoomsleper Maarten by Konajra, on Flickr stoomsleper Maarten by Konajra, on Flickr more on my flickr photostream. Hope you like it too.
May 26, 201212 yr Smaller than your other ships - but that says more about your other ships than it does about this. I wouldn't exactly call this a mini MOC :) and, of course, it's just as good-looking as all your other ships. Looking forward to Skærbæk :)
May 26, 201212 yr As a salty old sea dog (ex-Navy), I always like to see more contemporary ships, and you definitely rise to the occasion, so as we say in the US Navy (and other NATO Navies): "Bravo Zulu on a job well done." ...although I would like to second the request for some interior shots/ cutaway views (even if they're just in LDD).
May 27, 201212 yr Author Thanks guys, I have been working on my steam trawler again. So I think I'll have that one finished before Skærbæk.
