The Lord of the Isles for CCC by Aardwolf

Upload time for this years CCC ended yesterday and our photo galeries are filled with many great creations lately. One of the most beautiful MOC's this lovely historical sail-ship was built by flickr.com user and Classic-castle member Aardwolf a.k.a.  aardwolf_83. I especially liked the round hull of the ship decorated with numerous details like shields, chains and custom items. The ship also has a beautiful interior too. Check out the builders photo-stream for more photos.

Believe me. This is made of LEGO.

At first sight I didn't believe myself that this sailing ship is made of LEGO bricks myself but this is really made of LEGO bricks and this is fantastic! The creator of this work of art, Hoang H Dang a.k.a. Know Your Pieces wrote in the description of the photo that the curve of the hull was possible due to the tolerances (gaps) between LEGO elements. Actually this boat is really huge and consist around 7000 pieces. Check out this photo to get how large this creation is. With the impressive size and amazing shape this MOC becomes my all time favorite LEGO ship.

Attack of the Sea Monster!

LEGO Fan and flickr member Jonas recently shared this amazing monster attack diorama in his photo stream. The name of this MOC is "Monstrum Maris" and this MOC is built for the Iron Builder challenge against Tim Schwalfenberg. Both sides have built amazing MOC's like Forbidden Fortress, District 9 Exosuit, What's Cooking? and many more throughout the challenge and they keep building. them. The wave effect done with transparent plate pieces is incredible on this MOC. The monster (Kraken?) is built nicely but the design of the ship makes this diorama perfect.The creator also shared photos of the ship separately as well. 

Vietnamese Fishing Boat


Hoang Dang built a beautiful fishing ship to pay tribute to the crew of the Vietnamese fishing boat which was sunk by Chinese patrol. This is a moc built with unorthodox techniques and good intentions. My first reaction was 'Best MOC ever!' when I just saw this. Very well done Hoang Dang, brick on!
