So this is my largest LEGO undertaking yet. It measures about two and a half feet in length. There's a photo of it next two the Police Boat and Fishing Boat kits from 2011 for comparison. It was quite a challenge, but I really enjoyed it. I've been working on it for quite some time, as I needed to acquire parts to make it happen, plus I kept changing my mind about how I wanted to approach the bridge. In the end, I went with something a little more traditional, but I kept my crane control bubble. Each floor is built in a modular fashion, and the rear deck drops down to allow for the launch and retrieval of the "Scuttlebutt" submarine. The first floor cabin is the crane/deck control area and sub monitoring station, and the second floor is the bridge and observation deck. Above that is the equipment tower.
Currently there is a documentary crew aboard to capture the moment of discovery as the crew plumbs the depths of the ocean.

A brilliant boat. I especially like the shaping of the bows and the stern, plus all of the playable features. The mini-sub is a great bonus and nicely styled. |

I dig the design and colors. The original theme is a welcome divergence. |

Quoting cyberfrank 2010
a brick ship, how refreshing! and very detailed and stylish, you actually inspire me to do one, the comparative pics is testament to your achevement, it s scaled right, and massive, exactly my fav, bravo!
Thank you! I hope you decide to build one of your own! The scale gave me trouble, as at first with the way I wanted to build things, the bridge ended up looking like a large model of a smaller ship, as opposed to a small model of a massive ship, if that makes sense. Once I put the old airplane windows in place, it all came together. |

Wow! What an awesome job! How long did it take you to build this?
Thanks! I built this over the course of about two years. Obviously work was sporadic, but I had to get the money together to acquire the parts necessary, and figure out how to integrate all of the things I wanted in it. The hull went pretty quick, but it took me a long time to decide on a design for the bridge. |
