LEGO Harbour - LNG / Missile Carrier MOC Part 1 🚢🚀🏹

[@chrischristiansen6204]

There is a nice bit of genius of having something that explodes be disguised in something flamable that explodes for the ship to avoid detection or accidents when undercover. With the Bond type themes, setting up a scene on this boat of a secret agent confrontation could be good. Or maybe just one sneaking around avoiding guards or sneaking on from the water. The sound brick has some nice textures that could be built into a more mechanical part of the wheelhouse.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, the sound brick is now the engine block!

[@buddylee6996]

Absolutely brilliant Robin! What a great idea to make a disguised tanker into a ICBM carrier. You definitely got to put a few Dr. Inferno stickers on it like Specte would of had their logos on their ships. Now you have to get that 007 Aston Martin speed champions car. So you can have Bond sneaking on board with a gun in his hand and don't forget the henchmen. I can't wait to see part 2 of this. Great job my friend.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

As if I would forget henchmen and stickers. Ha!

[@damienkeltik7625]

This thing would be awesome in your cabinet, with magnetically connected missile silo under it. But so kool so far.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Maybe but that cabinet is already very full on the surface level. To the city with it!

[@brickartisan]

This is an ingenius way of using the boat as dual purpose…faux LNG and rocket launcher. Nice job 😊

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Haha, my imagination runs wild sometimes!

[@Foghorn8]

“We’ve got a cracking pair. Pretty nice indeed.” Oh Robin. 😂

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I'm a child at heart, haha!

[@dale1090]

This is looking like a proper Austin Powers / Dr. Evil build.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That's the plan!

[@ImAnubisDude]

The beginning of your video caught me off guard

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I like to be a little risqué from time to time, haha!

[@josephd27]

Oh Dr Inferno is just so diabolical, an evil genius. What a great idea to disguise a nuclear missile cruiser into a natural gas transport ship Robin 🚢 😀

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Thank you!

[@Nphen]

This is such a cool & innovative build! Hoping to see the wheelhouse have several interior scenes, including one in the below-deck space. I see you connected the tread plates of the walkway directly to the top of the LNG tanks. Looking at pictures of LNG ships, you see circular structures on top of the tanks, and a bit of superstructure beneath the walkways . If you have 2x2 circular plates for the top of the tanks, you could then put a 2x4 grey plate across the top of those to give a stronger connection to the walkway plates. A good opportunity to increase both realism & brick stability, imo. Cheers!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Sometimes I try to make the builds simple, haha. The wheelhouse lower will be basic and the upper is very small. Still some fun scenes are possible!

[@connorwilson9016]

A fun scene to add to this carrier would be to potentially have one of the missile silos open with a minifigure that didn't make it off in time, hanging onto the railings for dear life suspended above the water.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

If in firing mode this is a must!

[@MarcusStarkiller]

One of the silo domes should open in the other direction to counter-balance the ship when both are open at the same time. And it would look cooler that way. Also, you should make a third rocket, or just make a bit of a body of one of the two so it looks like one is being launched.

[@audiotron1003]

Yeah like what he said Robbo (Infirno talking here)

[@RobinHoodBricks]

One being launched would be a cool scene but also bad news for Brick Nottingham. I was going to have this closed in the city. Although both hatches would open different ways, I like this as then I can see both rockets at once!

[@davidbeenjammin]

A potential way to make the walkway more secure would be to elevate it a bit: connect each of the quarters of walkway together using 2x4 plates, place a 2x2 round plate underneath as the attachment point to the large containers and using a technic axle to connect it through the round plate.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It's surprisingly robust now I have it all together and the hoses have got used to their new positions!

[@bricksection]

I could've sworn one of those missiles has "BrickDerby" written on it. We love the domes (for reasons), and that sound brick is amazing too. Maybe we'll finally have to start ordering from Brick Link.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

You DON'T order from BrickLink? How do you survive, haha? Brick Derby wouldn't be much different after a direct hit!

[@bricksection]

@@RobinHoodBricks I've made a Bricks&Pieces order for some train parts, but other than that I just make up models on the spot with what I've got. It's my break away from the screen. The only time I get the computer involved is when I want to design something special. Poor Brick Derby 😂

[@misterwhaleBro]

Interesting concept, I think one of the doors should open the other way though. I do hope Dr Inferno will be caught by the UN eventually. Great build. Thanks from NZ

[@mvfisker]

Great build as always Robin :-D One tiny suggestion, if the front missile bay is open: instead of the minifigure standing on the jumperplate it could be great fun if he/she instead was hanging in the secure rail in panic 🙂

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I'll be sure to make that adjustment if it's open. But I think it'll be closed in the city, or else it might attract attention!

[@andyhuckle]

thought you would be making a Mrs Hood Brassiere!! 🤣

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Not big enough!

[@Agarricus]

If you display the doors open, you definitely need a henchman hanging off of the handrail of the walkway

Great job Robin, For tight / unusual bends I cheat a little and put modelling wire ~0.5mm inside the tube where it can't be seen but will hold the shape and allow tighter bends.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Now THAT is a clever idea. Never thought of that. Not too necessary here since it has got used to its new shape but VERY useful for the future, thanks!

[@TJMcCawSeventhVision]

Awesome!!! You could almost raise the red pole at the front by a brick or two, since the railing blocks the radial things.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

The reels go over its foot sadly!

[@richardakajazzyamx9690]

Looks great! Might be harder to see, but if you want to go for 'proper' colors on the lights the masthead one should be white (or clear in LEGO). It's an awesome build, particularly love the missile hatches and the way you did the railing. Reminds me a bit of a (non-LEGO) ship from a story I've been working on, though she's a geared bulk carrier with her center hold converted to have the VLS launch cells from a missile frigate. Bit different purpose as well, the ship of my work is a 'Q-Ship' designed to hunt criminals by appearing innocent, not be a vehicle of world domination.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Well it's kinda the goodie version of the same, haha. Someone told me about the light the last time I made a ship and I forgot the lesson. Thanks!

[@carltonantisdel7746]

Layering with tiles makes the hole look like it has a lot more depth and to Look like the walk way is supported a robot arm should be coming down from the middle part of the hinge piece

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Thanks!

[@andrewfield176]

Great work - nice part and sound brick usage. This is classic RHB, adapting Lego pieces to far better use than Lego ever imagined. However, I do have one concern. We long know how the Super Secret Police have far too much technology and equipment, and are utterly over the top and incompetent. With this level of danger appearing from Dr Inferno, doesn’t this somehow justify even more over-the-top equipment and spending for the SSP?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

The expenditure is legitimate and authorised by central government. What the SSP spends it on and how they choose to use it is a whole different thing!

[@Benrkay-g3m]

It would be difficult to do. But I would love some mechanisms that would sound the alarm when opening the bomb bay doors. Maybe a play feature that triggers the doors and the siren

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That might be over the top. Also, I just like pressing it in passing!

[@zarda1484]

Someone could come up with a technic lift arm system that you just pull back and it sets off the sound brick and simultaneously opens both domes. I'm inspired to try it myself because I do have that sound brick.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Wouldn't that be quite visible and ugly? I've already got the sound brick in the wheelhouse. It's subtle!

[@brianboszor419]

The original police boat could be modified for the SSP instead of a pleasure boat! Lol!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Hmmm true!

[@alessandrovitro4807]

I think I developed an addiction to your videos… Your creativeness is rather fascinating. Just one little remark on this one: missiles seem too fat for that launch pad. Even assuming space below sea level, they still seem disproportionate. Try slimming them down and check the effect.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I totally agree with that space assessment but that discrepancy kinda appeals to me. The idea they are too big for the boat makes it even more silly!

[@railwayjade]

Great build! I'm thinking make the gauges higher so that the henchman on the catwalk / walkway can 'observe' them - wink wink.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yeah they are obscured but it does look better than with nothing!

[@dodgewgaming6753]

Amazing video, you’ve given me inspiration to do something sort of like this! 😃👍

[@zardozspeakshs1111]

like the idea, but the scale on the missiles feels off. I'd go with skinnier rockets like you see in the Ice Planet sets. Also, they should come out! You've got a few layers of cargo space, make those missiles actually recessed into the ship!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Oh no. Part of it for me is that they are unrealistically large. Far too large to come out too!

When doing Supervillains comically oversized is always the answer

Would the hull piece from LEGO 76942 not be a better fit? It's higher, so comes out a bit better. Do look up Lego 60109, I bet you can make a nice ship from it, that's totally not fire fighting. Maybe give it a proper well-dock or moon-pool, a explorer or so.
