Custom LEGO Push Boat MOC ⚓

[@JANGBRiCKS]

Folks unfamiliar with the two different major styles, check out Google Images searches for "tugboat" followed by "push boat" to see the big difference in bow (front) design.

[@alimirza6941]

JANGBRiCKS Thanks for clearing the confusion Jang! :) BTW will you work on a tugboat also or the push boat is enough for the harbour?

[@terrier_productions]

Hi! ALL of your MOCS should go on LEGO Ideas! #Love your LEGO vids! ⛴

[@ottergoose]

JANGBRiCKS Along the Mississippi River, these are called "towboats."

[@jeremiahbowen8405]

JANGBRiCKS good job

[@mikebrough2229]

I think your tug boy is really cool

[@JANGBRiCKS]

Hard to believe it's been half a decade since I built my last push boat: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH7SgYOAf8mZpsU :)

[@brandon.rondeau]

JANGBRiCKS you got this out fast

[@oscthesavage6202]

JANGBRiCKS i love your vids

[@user-nj6li8sz7i]

JANGBRiCKS nice build

[@finnkennedy2401]

JANGBRiCKS now you need to make a tug!!!

[@Reclaimer66]

JANGBRiCKS That push boat is the one of the best looking push boat moc I've seen

[@ottie0311]

You could talk about your inspiration and research process (real life, games, engineering etc.) for your creations in a future video. I would be very interested in.

[@thegreatskinkpriest8104]

Overall I'm not a big MOC kind of guy, but this is phenomenal. This looks better than many official LEGO sets of similar size and shape. Your MOCs are typically very well done, but this just knocks it out of the park. Great job!

[@maxwellarnold6631]

Wow. I love all of your work and custom creations, but these recent boat projects have blown me away.

[@lloydgarmadon5760]

You should do a doc and sort a board walk...

[@griffmonster9504]

wow you are just pumping out the mocs and its awesome!!!

[@Stinkles_]

I love this! Looking forward to seeing more boats and ships.

[@88WillJohnson]

Another great build, love the expansion of your sea stuff... can't wait to see how the waves and sea is finally done... Awesome

[@Forseenlife]

angles back for different reasons. Fuel tanks are normally in the bow and water tanks in the stern so depending on levels of tanks would determine how it's sitting in the water. The stern needs to be lower in the water so the wheels are deeper down in the water to be efficient. the bow needs to be a little higher running lite boat (no barges in front) to keep the bow from diving. water run off on the decks.

[@legopaul9410]

I love seeing these dock cruise ships. It is just so cool!

[@paulvillemocs]

JANGBRiCKs I think it would be very cool if you could lower the legs of the tables with boats and put in some kind of clear basin that you could fill with water. You could put weights inside of the boats and have clear stands so that they could stay where in the water you wanted them. It would add a cool level of realism that blue baseplates or lots of little clear blue plates don't give. I imagine it kind of like LEGOLAND's Miniland. I think the baseplates look great for the streets in the city, but for the water, it would look really cool or and give the city something very different from other people's custom layouts.

[@josephkim9562]

i love how your busy with custom work. huge inspiration. keep up the good work!🖒

[@Jcc2224]

In the world of LEGO, if a minifig has claustrophobia, they're kinda screwed. Great build Jang! Love the multi-side building. How do you key in the top and bottom builds so well? I know LEGO doesn't have the up/down sided stud plates like Megabloks does.

[@JANGBRiCKS]

Here's a picture showing some of what I did on the front: instagram.com/p/BS5RoySFv0g/ For the upside-down stuff, I believe on this one I used sideways headlight bricks plugged into upside-down ones.

[@masterbuilderdad7327]

That's very reminiscent of the "Tug" Ken Booth Sr. It's a pusher Tug just like that pushes a 600 ft "barge" that typically hauls iron ore. It comes through Duluth fairly often. Great built! I like all the detail. The engine is awesome! Awesome work, you should put that on Lego Ideas!

[@GoldenFlyer]

Can you build a Cruise Ship Please. It can be a small one but I would Love if you built one your a great LEGO builder

[@nickelbraun5360]

GoldenGamer I agree a cruise ship would be so cool

[@singerkgreen]

Your attention to detail is incredible and inspiring!

[@maddog5420]

I love that boat! I really like how you got the shape of the boat! good job

[@kateprimeaux1089]

not sure if someone has answered this- but vessel will typically look like its "up" in the front because of the hull shapes of most of these boats. great video. hoping to recreate what you did!

[@YensR]

fantastic design. love this pusher!

[@semperatis]

That's a really effective build Jang,love the way that this has turned out.

[@Mick0Mania]

The way I deal with when It comes to old pieces, be it old color or mold, I separate my custom builds to be "era specific". I do make exceptions every once in a while, mostly for compensation sake, but I generally don't like to mix pieces from different eras. I don't include old gray or old hinge pieces in my "modern" builds, and try to faithfully follow the design philosophy of older sets when I try to create something similar. This allows me to make use up some parts I would otherwise never use (such as Johnny Thunder/Adventurer specific wheels and car pieces) and still keep working with the new pieces to make more detailed modern stuff.

[@legofan9522]

Like the colors and the build itself:) awesome review as always

[@1spunkymonkey2]

Awesome boat Jang! 👍

[@Skullgrin.]

"Old Grey" sounds like a pretty good name for this vessel!

[@mazaradie1119]

Looks WAY better than the cargo ship!

[@Zabadak]

I like such different designs. And this one is awesome

[@theoneandonlyjoshua5284]

Awesome Jang!

[@migatron1]

This is a sick MOC!

[@ZGBrickfilms]

Great work as always!

[@itsjustzac1641]

Looks good

[@JonatanGronoset]

Great little vessel, which is known as a "towboat". They do push things with their "knees" as it's called. You could make a fair number of barges to go infront of that, they'd either be lashed in a row or in pairs.

[@kendog84bsc]

That's a nice boat! I like it a lot.

[@rowancollins9558]

Cool Moc, but I believe the sloping on the back of those is for extra power of pushing and pulling.

[@Ironoxe]

looks great jang

[@Uncaged17]

I'm loving these customs 😇

[@miabua73]

Interesting boat. Nicely done, again, Jang. :-)

[@aquatibrick387]

I'm really loving these boats you make, Jang! I can imagine working on one of these, since I used to work on a harbor near Seattle.

[@legovine8513]

Looks great!

[@OrixusThePaladin]

If I believe right, the tilt makes it easier to move forward through the water by making it more aquadynamic.

[@ctrain226]

can you make a video on the engines that you make, I suck at making engines.

[@connerb8211]

King Jimmy me too

[@KrillLiberator]

I love nautical subjects. Jang, i think you did a really nice job on that model. I hope you find a good application for it - maybe you need a really big ocean-going subject rather tha a coaster to go alongside and shunt about? Great proportions and character; love the use of classic LegoLand system bricks.

[@right-wingsnek5977]

your channel is always so good and positive keep up the great work!

[@defenderprime8046]

Quite a nice creation! Hopefully its size won't hinder too much on your current port, it looked already pretty loaded with many type of boats in the last video I saw. Nicely done!

[@sirbricks-o-lot1012]

Nice job you have very innovative building style.

[@peterterrathehinducommunis179]

very nice, no other words needed!

[@gottanodder]

Nice build jang!

[@brettstirzinger8210]

If you are searching for a different look for your cargo vessels, look at the "older" styles of Great Lakes freighters. They are around 730 feet long and are used as bulk carriers (ore, grain, etc.). They have the a superstructure with the wheelhouse and cabins in the bow and a superstructure at the stern for the engine room and an unloading boom. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the most famous.

[@JANGBRiCKS]

:) The first two designs I mentioned in the beginning of this video were forward-cabin container ships. No full aft cabin though, just engine room & smokestack. A more modern design. I do still plan to do a forward cabin build at some point.

[@theoneandonlyjoshua5284]

What about an apartment complex instead of a hotel??

[@wingsofvirtue2156]

a motel

[@jankielej1456]

Good work!

[@jommy2775]

great build

[@tylerconnaway6164]

Love this build, wish I was able to build things like this.

[@1jakemartinvids]

Just a recommendation but I think that one of those red and white cell/ tv towers would look great in your city

[@kaustuvacharya9268]

Nice build.

[@VastPik]

I think the studded areas could use a little tiling, but otherwise it looks great.

[@guswer]

Nice build your a legend

[@callrevolution6153]

You should be a Lego designer, because u r AWESOME

[@bemmbvm3422]

Really cool boat btw

[@michaelkhachaturov5371]

i remember Jang built an RC one to push fliped over boats a few years ago on the old URC chanel

[@Crustysock1]

you should make a Walmart with crazily dressed ppl!

[@sfm_ferguson5033]

one thing i think u should do is make a caboose or two for the end of your trains.i think it will make the trains look better at the ends.....just my opinion.

[@kred2184]

nice boat!

[@perchingparrotproductions8777]

that would be a great creator set! now all you have to do is come up with an alternate model!

[@harraldsmit2390]

really a nice boat, I´d love to see it pushing a containerbarge, and if you build one fitting like 8 of your containers I bet the boat wont look to big P.S.: another cool thing to combine th epusher with would be a fueltanker-barge and it would also be a cool addition to the octan-factory

[@davedwaterson2594]

cool moc

[@coolmankugrah68]

I think custom hulls look a lot better than the bright colourful prefabricated ones.

[@yj29885]

You should make a stop motion with your lego city, jangbricks!

[@Random.Channel_]

You are amazing I luv the muffler

[@MrDemonicDan]

Very nice. I'd buy that if it were a set :)

[@carikincannon7003]

Hi JANG! I might build a small container semi at somepoint, long trailers (40ft) and small ones (20ft) and a small Yard Goat! I can send you pics or something if you like so that you have inspiration :)

[@CharlesB9496]

You should build an open top limo, able to fit 6 people, dark navy blue, 1960s design...

[@jameshiggins4067]

Can you make a Lego Blue comet train?

[@evantwitchell2614]

You should build a boardwalk or old sailboat/ yacht.

[@ryanbaircraftmechanicandsm7524]

Great job

[@justaddbricks5527]

Keep it up with the mocks jang!

[@justaddbricks5527]

Soz, thanks it was my auto correct on my tablets keyboard

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Jang of all the boats in the world to build a Moc of out of Lego only you could make a Push boat lol. Looks good though 😃

[@mvenusaur01]

very nicely done. love the detail. have you considered making a crab fishing boat. new season of deadliest catch just began and seeing that you are making boat, I figured I ask.

[@aishaclanclan633]

cool moc jang. looks a bit futuristic

[@max-mkl]

look's amazing !☺

[@kadebrown6162]

awesome boooaaaaatttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!,🚢

[@asphaltmemories4597]

Build a 1950's inspired road side motel please!

[@thescreen6418]

That's looks cool

[@matboss6444]

happy easter :)

[@SuperTwisted2]

jangbricks you should make a indoor swimming pool for your city

[@graysonezernack]

You should build a cruise ship I love cruise ships!

[@TASmith10]

I wish at the end of these videos, you'd show the boats in your harbor, to see how it all fits together. At some point, you'll need more ocean space.

[@JANGBRiCKS]

In the last one I did. In this one I explained why I didn't.

[@user-wn2rd5nu6c]

Cool boat jang

[@Allfrombricks]

Good review

[@johnmcalister6638]

It is lovely

[@adamdurr4746]

you should try to drift the drift cars throughout the city!

[@joppiesaus_8394]

so awesome....😱😱

[@rmp3769]

That's so cool

[@arcadegamings4586]

You should make a "JangBricks" Statue of City. Like the Statue of Liberty but lego!

[@jeremiahbowen8405]

Keep it up good job

[@MBRWorks]

A lot of push/tug boats have their front ballast tanks empty so they can get better push from the propeller.

[@tomakacap8405]

You should build a Tugboat. An old one.

[@DiceRobo]

you should make one of those grain holder boats.

[@MayoHosko]

push boats are the bulldozers of the 7 seas

[@drdralternator6643]

Hey Jang, I love your videos and I was wondering if you could start doing some miniature MOCs maybe?

[@heridanlouridocastro5480]

is a great push boat
