Funny comparison of building styles ;)

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 ;-).

Suggestions for added equipment/detailing is very welcome.

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

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!

Its been along time since I posted here... lets see if I can remember how this
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.
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.

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

Thanks for sharing this. It’s always nice to see how people tackle these curvy

It’s all explained

You mean the bit where it’s stated that if God intended for us to use Metric,

That has nothing to do with the confusion between short (US) tons and long
(imperial) tons, which was what led us here.

Good think all the sensible countries are moving to metric ;)

No we’re not. And it’s telling that no country in the world has voluntarily
undergone the metrication ordeal, but rather the people who use measurements
in their daily lives have been forced to switch by bureaucrats who generally
do not. It’s even more telling that the same individuals who use weights and
measures on a daily basis often find ways to circumvent the metric system,
which is beautiful on paper, but entirely impractical in real-world
situations. It’s all explained quite beautifully
here. And
here. And

ROFL!! I had hoped you’d realise I was being humourous, or maybe you did and
decided to bite anyway, in which case you really should have set your FUT more
appropriately. Maybe I should’ve set mine to o-t.fun, to make it more obvious.
Anyway, I’ve set it to o-t.debate now if you really want to continue, please try
not to fill up .boats with any more religious silliness.

Well, you'd think the ten fingers things would have been hint enough...

Huh. What real world are you working in? In my professional life, which I
suspect uses actual weights and measures a bit, English units are just something
we joke about, never actually use. The closest we come to in this debate is
between cgs and mks (I prefer the second).

Hi Travis,
well, it weighs a lot :-) In fact, it’s something about 850 to 900
kilograms. The metric ton is 1000kg, but if I’m right, the imperial unit
“ton” should be a little bit more than 900kg (2000lbs).
|
Actually I’m pretty sure an imperial ton is 2240lbs, but it’s still a
remarkable MOC.
|
A US ton is 2000 lbs.
