Catamaran Sailboat

Hello!

 

I'm sure, that everyone has already heard about that technique, when we use only 1x2 plates or bricks to creat curves. I wanted to try it, too. The result is here with 100+ 1x2 bricks, 50+ 1x2 plates and a fully detailed interior!

 

At first please look at my previous sailboat. It was interesting to see the difference between them. In the old one there are a boat hull of a Lego set. Now it was very cool that I didn't have fixed dimensions!

 

There are a picture about the interior here!

 

The boat has some interesting features and building techniques. My favourite one is the brickbuilt mast. There are four sections in it:

 

-2x2 round bricks

-1x1 bricks with stud on four sides and 1x1 round plates with holes on the studs, covered by 1x8 tiles

-1x1 high bricks

-1x1 round bricks

 

Fortunately all of the elements has hole, so it was possible to put technic axles and bars or rigid hoses into them. So the fragility of the mast disappeared!

 

More pictures are on MOCpages!

 

Hope you like it! :)
