Unfortunately it appears that Medium Azure (as the color is called in the
Bricklink Database) is a new color that will likely replace Maersk blue.
While this color does more closely resemble the actual recent color of the new
Maersk line of ships... the parts won’t have quite the allure and “exclusivity”
that Maersk blue had. :(
So I would think that Maersk blue may end up as a retired color... since non
Maersk LEGO products cannot have this Moller-Maersk trademarked color.
Get your Maersk colored LEGO while supplies last!

P.S. Here’s a little background on Maersk and their early years with TLG (from
my next DVD/download)...

I posted this LDD MOC well over a year ago but I finally got around to taking
pictures of the final product! Also attached a pic of the old girl underway for
reference.

Enjoy, drc
Some info about the S.S. Lane Victory:
Victory class merchant ship launched May 31, 1945. One of 531 hulls built, she
sailed as a cargo vessel during WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War. She
participated in the amphibious evacuation of Wonson and Hungnam during the
Korean war, rescuing over 7000 Korean refugees in one trip.
She is currently a museum ship moored today in San Pedro, California and a
memorial honoring all merchant seamen. Today the S.S. Lane Victory conducts
annual summer “Victory at Sea” cruises enabling today’s generations experience
what life at sea was like during the war.

With all those kayaks on my desk, I figured out it was time to build a
boat house for Bregnerod Kayak Club:
The roof isn’t quite done yet. And I may decide to build the boat house
long enough to have space for all the kayaks.
Play well,
Jacob

Well, now that I actually take a proper look at how I ended up getting the two
sides connected (late night building), it is actually a pure SNOT design.
Play well,

Yet another sea kayak built this past weekend:
This design is pure SNOT (if you don’t count the tile ;-).

This time the kayaks are built partially SNOT. More kayak designs on my

Suggestions for added equipment/detailing is very welcome.

A sea kayak built in a “classic” LEGO building style:
There are more models on my

I finally got around to finalise this microscale trawler:
A part of the challenge I set myself while building it was to stick to
“simple” pieces, which means that it in some ways is rather similar to
the LEGO boats I built as a child.
Play well,
Jacob

Very nice build, Doug! I look forward to the brick version!

works. Thought I would start off the new year with a new MOC post.
As a volunteer aboard the museum ship S.S. Lane Victory, I thought I would try
my hand at a micro-scale model (roughly 1 stud = 10ft) of her in LDD. Got her
done just in time to order a few copies before the designByME service shuts
down.
Model utilizes extensive “snot” work for the hull form. Click image for link to
brickshelf. Gallery will be updated with photos of the real thing once I get my
order in from TLG.

Even Captain Stubing is a fan of the LEGO Love Boat
By Gene Sloan, USA Today, June 22,2011.
Remember the LEGO Love Boat we told you about a few weeks ago?
Labor of Love:’LEGO Love Boat’ to be displayed in Chicago.
The largest cruise ship ever built out of LEGO bricks apparently was a hit this
past weekend at the Brickworld LEGO convention in Chicago -- and not just with
the public. Love Boat line Princess Cruises, not surprisingly, was among those
taking notice.
Among the people stopping by to see the handiwork of LCP (LEGO Certified
Professional) LEGO-loving Australian Ryan McNaught was none other than Love Boat
star Gavin MacLeod (a.k.a. Captain Stubing), who now serves as a Princess
ambassador. The actor paid McNaught a surprise visit arranged by the line’s
public relations team.
McNaught, shown above with MacLeod wearing a captain’s hat the actor brought for
him, called the experience “mind blowing – especially after seeing him on TV for
all those years.”
Made up of more than 250,000 LEGO bricks, the ship measures nearly ten feet long
by nearly five feet high and includes powered functions such as a moving anchor,
bow thruster and propeller. The lifeboat also can be raised and lowered.

I’m working on a viking shipyard for an exhibition in Høje Tåstrup next month.
The shipyard itself is
ready, so now it is time to build longships.
What do you think of it?
Any blatant anachronisms?
Play well,
Jacob
