Ssorg Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) V-W-05C Greetings everyone! We haven't seen too many sailboat LEGO sets right? So I made this cutie and submitted it on CUUSOO! Here some photos! You can see MORE pictures and info in the CUUSOO project! Would you like to have a sailboat like that in your Lego City? Please consider supporting my project! P.S. If you really like this, please help me to spread the word! Edited June 17, 2012 by Ssorg Quote
purpleparadox Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Another project with cardboard/paper, eh? Are these sails custom or official Lego pieces? I like this too, and I'd definitely buy it if it were a set. Something about the railing makes me like it a lot! Edited May 25, 2012 by purpleparadox Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 I it, the SNOT is nice and cool sailboat designing there 'Ssorg'.....I better go and support it, since I'm also a Cuusoo poster of designs (23 of). Brick On Sail On 'Ssorg' ! Quote
Ssorg Posted May 25, 2012 Author Posted May 25, 2012 Another project with cardboard/paper, eh? Are these sails custom or official Lego pieces? Not "another", actually this was my first! Yea the sails are custom work. Quote
Ssorg Posted May 25, 2012 Author Posted May 25, 2012 very cute, I like the super smooth lines. Thanks, and the lines would have been even smoother if it wasn't for one availability issue (more on that in CUUSOO description). Quote
purpleparadox Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Not "another", actually this was my first! Yea the sails are custom work. Oh! I guess I just saw the airship first... Anyway, great sailboat! I've already stated this, but if this gets made I'll buy one! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Nice looking boat I like the cabin area especially. Nice little comic as well And I supported on CUUSOO Quote
Ssorg Posted May 25, 2012 Author Posted May 25, 2012 Nice little comic as well CUUSOO description has links to more comic strips, namely these: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51369236@N06/7194572432/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/51369236@N06/7194576474/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/51369236@N06/7194581418/in/photostream Quote
RPGer Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 I've tried so many times to build something like this....but this is way better Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Another great MOC Ssorg. I especially like how the cabin is functional Quote
Combee Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Great shaping! You've got my vote I like the inclusion of the pirate flag Quote
L@go Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Very nice! If the people on that boat have any sense, though, they'd remove that pirate flag as soon as possible. As far as I know, sailing under that flag is not considered a joking issue in most maritime circles... Quote
Laura Beinbrech Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Lovely sailboat you got there, and based on the many small yachts/sailboats I've seen around the world when I was in the Navy, it's perfectly proportioned for its class, too! Your design has also helped me figure out how to solve the problem of designing a post-apocalyptic pirate gunboat using pieces from the Spongebob Flying Dutchman set... Very nice! If the people on that boat have any sense, though, they'd remove that pirate flag as soon as possible. As far as I know, sailing under that flag is not considered a joking issue in most maritime circles... Well, believe it or not, but US Navy ships fly Calico Jack's Jolly Roger during the line crossing ceremony... Quote
L@go Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Well, believe it or not, but US Navy ships fly Calico Jack's Jolly Roger during the line crossing ceremony... I know that it's sometimes used in military circumstances, but I was under the distinct impression that it's generally frowned upon for a private vessel to fly the Jolly Roger. Quote
dede_la_fee Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 It is indeed lovely, the kind of set that would make me want to add a port to my town! Very, very good job, a pleasant balance between realism and Lego standard! and a round of applause! Quote
Ssorg Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 I was under the distinct impression that it's generally frowned upon for a private vessel to fly the Jolly Roger. LOL It's just for fun here. I wouldn't fly under the Jolly Roger in real life. Quote
mrlegoman Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Nice looking sailboat, I love how you made the hull. Quote
Section8 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 That is a very good looking ship. I hope Lego considers making it. I'm surprised that Lego has never made a modern sailboat. The closest they've come are the small boats that use the windsurfing sail and alternate models of airplanes that use the wing as a sail. Considering all the other types of boats they've made, it's time they made a proper sailboat. Quote
just2good Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Excellent MOC, 'Ssorg'! This is really the first time I've ever seen a Sailboat MOC. And you really nailed it! I just supported it on Cuusoo, too. Quote
lego_legis_legere Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Wow, "bien joué !" that's a very nice boat, I really like (love?) the modified hull ! There is so much details and your home made sails are just perfect. Very nice ! Quote
alstda Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Woah! Lovely little boat! I'm really loving the sails! ... time to pay Cuusoo a little visit Quote
Ssorg Posted June 19, 2012 Author Posted June 19, 2012 Instructions pleaaase :) I love your interest, but unfortunately I have no instructions. But if you go to my Flickr stream (via the CUUSOO project), you can pretty well see how the thing is made by looking at all the pictures in their original sizes. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Very nice boat and clever building technique! Good luck for cuusoo! Quote
