First project to kick off the New Year
Pier 3 at Newport News Shipbuilding
Finally, after much more work than I intended to do, I’ve finished my NNS project. Overall, it was pretty fun, and I tried to capture the real thing as best I could. I will say that I messed up the proportions of some of the roads which unfortunately affected the spacing of the buildings. This whole diorama is supposed to show the USS Gerald Ford CVN-78 in 2017 (post fitting out)right before being moved to Norfolk across the bay for the commissioning ceremony. On the other side of pier 2 (right of pier 3) would have been Enterprise CVN-65, but at that point it would get kind of ridiculous. It’s already over 25,000 pieces. Also, because of lego limitations and the scale I was building in, automobiles and mooring lines do not exist in this universe. 😬
Anyways, I hope y’all guys like it, and I hope to move on to some completely new subject material soon.
The dry dock port for Bismarck and Prinz Eugen is finally complete. When new warships get done I will add new docks for them thanks to the modularity!
The hole dock with the two warships is made out of 55334 pieces, is 2.32 meters long, 1,87 meters wide and 40 cm tall.

This fictional Brig was build in spain and served until 1715 in the spanish treasure fleet under the name of "El Dorado". Captured in a hurricane by jailed pirates under the lead of Cpt. Edward Kenway and Adéwalé which were supposed to be carried by the fleet to sevillle to execute them. Under Kenway, she was renamed to the name Jackdaw and became one of the strongest pirate ships in the seven seelas, with a peak of rediculous 56 canons.
Thanks to @chucky_in_charge for giving me a lot of advice here and there! Go and look go and check out his USS Constitution, which I took actually the inspiration and motivation for this build from. And if you haven't done or did it long ago, play AC4. NOW

I have made a few edits to both models, most importantly a correction to the proportions by extending the entire aft section of the ship starting from the end of the forward funnel by one stud. The change is hard to notice unless you look for it but it did quench my OCD and constant need to tinker. I am also knee deep in creating the instructions and physical model for the Iowa and I cannot wait to share it soon.
Happy thanksgiving! The Iowa(s) have arrived! For those who have been following my WIP stories on instagram - I know I’ve kept you waiting and thank you for your patience!
The four Iowa class ships, Iowa (61), New Jersey (62), Missouri (63) and Wisconsin (64) need no introduction - they are icons of engineering and synonymous to modern American naval history. I was nervous to tackle this project as I cannot afford to mess up her easily recognizable proportions, especially the elongated bow and her unmistakably thiccc stern. I chose to represent the late WWII configuration (~1944) of the lead ship(BB-61) here with the added AA mounts and no camo (I believe this is what she looked like when she was ferrying FDR, chasing the Japanese decoy fleet at Leyte and accompanying the mighty Mo at Japan’s surrender. This will serve as a template for me to build all her classmates as well as her modernizations (with Tomahawk cruise missiles and everything ) which I cannot wait.
I very much look forward to sharing more renderings and building techniques in the coming weeks!

Been working on a modernized USS Missouri (last configuration, Operation Desert Storm ~1990s). In addition to the changes listed, significant portions of the front and aft decks and superstructure have been altered as well. I really enjoyed the rebuilding process and learned a lot about the modernization efforts along the way.

The Ticonderogas were designed to be the state-of-the-art replacements of the outdated Cold War Spruance Class. 27 Ticonderogas have been completed. The first 5 of the class, including the Ticonderoga, were decommissioned early. Their lack of a VLS (vertical launch system), made them obsolete. The 22 active vessels are slated to serve until they each reach the end of their individual life expectancies. Although, with the proposed dry docking and overhaul, they would be able to serve longer.
Length - 567ft
Displacement - 9,600-9,800 tons
Propulsion - 4 GE gas turbine engines, 2 rudders, 2 reversible-pitch propellers
Range - 6,000 nmi
Performance - 32.5 knots
Compliment - 30 officers, 300 enlisted
Armament - 2x61-cell Mk 41 VLS, 8 Harpoon launchers, 2x5in Mark 45 guns, 2x25mm Mark 38 guns, 2 Phalanx CIWS, 2 Mark 32 triple torpedo launchers
Deployable Vehicles - 2 SH-60 Seahawks, inflatable dinghies
Well, one more down. This one was pretty fun to revisit. I fixed a bunch of issues from my first version, and the only thing still bothering me is that main mast. Other than that, I’m quite happy with this design. Next, I will be moving on to the Whidbey Island Class dock landing ship.

Now the Stern-Starboard Side. I'm actually a big fan of this view as it really shows the width of her Aft/Stern decks. You may also spot the refueling tower of the Missouri - I believe she was actually used as a tanker to refuel the smaller surface ships during the Gulf wars.

Finally, after several stressful weeks of designing, this 7,805 piece, 1:240 scale monster is complete. There are still some things I’m not content with, like the transition from the SNOT angled deck to conventional deck, but I am still very happy with how it came out. I would also like to thank @kh.bricks for giving me a couple of pointers on the angled deck. Closeups will be coming Friday.
The Nimitz Class Carriers were designed around the time of the Vietnam War for the purpose of complimenting and eventually replacing the Forrestal’s, Kitty Hawk’s, and the legendary Enterprise CVN-65. The Nimitz Class was to be a class of 10 modern, nuclear-powered super carriers. They were to be the first full production nuclear-powered carriers in the world, considering that the Enterprise served as a test bed as the world’s first nuclear aircraft carrier. The first ship was commissioned in 1975 and the last one in 2009. The 2 newest additions to the class, the Ronald Reagan CVN-76 and George H.W. Bush CVN-77 had many improvements made to their designs to fix issues discovered on preceding vessels.
The USS Ronald Reagan’s construction began in 1998 and was completed in 2001. She was commissioned in July 2003, about a year before the ship’s namesake passed away. In 2006, she went on her maiden deployment, which had her taking part in Operation Iraqi Freedom. After multiple deployments and humanitarian operations while home-ported at San Diego, she was reassigned to Carrier Strike Group 5 of the U.S. 7th Fleet based out of Yokosuka, Japan. She is the USN’s only forwarded deployed carrier.
Perseverance is an original sci-fi ship creation and designated as a Battlecruiser. The ship draws inspiration from many sci-fi designs including: the Daedalus (Stargate), Nostromo (Alien), Bengal-class (Wing Comdr/Star Citizen), Truman-class (The Expanse), Pegasus (Battlestar Galactica), Forward onto Dawn (Halo) and many others
Some key design notes:
- Hard sci-fi rules: No shields; ballistic based weapons only(rail guns, missiles/torpedos, and PDCs)
- No artificial gravity, no FTL drive: ship environment is zero G when not accelerating/decelerating; relies on massive accelerating/decelerating chemical rocket engines and maneuvering thrusters distributed around center of weight
- Realistic automation and AI tech level: minimally crewed (200-300 sailors and officers with 100 marines); not a troop carrier and does not carry air wing of “fighters” besides unmanned repair drones and surface shuttles
- Carries and supplies its own battle group of screening ships (2 large destroyers and 3 destroyer escorts); the screeners can all be docked (externally and internally) with the mothership while not in combat to conserve fuel and conceal strength
- Not designed for atmospheric flight: no unnecessary decorative wings or stabilizers
All connections and colors in this build are designed to be buildable with physical bricks. Ship is designed in 1:200 scale.
My end goal and hope is to convey a design that blends “the rule of cool” with a sense of realism and feasibility (i.e a ship that could be built in 5-10 generations). All suggestions and critiques are highly appreciated!

Made some small updates to my 1:240 Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer. And I’ve never really had any decent pictures of my physical model, so here we are.
I also want to remind everyone that the instructions for this model and the Flight II variant (no hangar) are on @rebrickable .
The planned 11 ships, 2 of which have been completed and 1 is under construction, will gradually replace the Wasp Class. Now, all of the Wasp class vessels were compromised designs. However, the Americas will be built to have either more room for aircraft or more room for landing craft. With that being said, a select number of the Americas, the Flight 0 ships, do not have well decks. The well deck was removed to make room for a considerably larger hangar, more aviation facilities, and more fuel storage. The USS America is one of those ships, basically making it a dedicated aircraft carrier. Other than the internal changes, the island structure has been updated with new stacks and a new forward mast. The Americas that will have a well deck are almost completely based on the USS Makin Island LHD-8 design, last of the Wasp Class and test bed for the America Class.
The USS America was commissioned on October 11, 2014 and its home port is Sasebo, Japan.
Length - 844ft
Beam - 106ft
Draft - 26ft
Displacement - 44,900 long tons
Propulsion - 2 gas turbines, 2 screws, 2 auxiliary diesel generators
Speed - 22+ knots
Armament - 2 RIM-116 Rolling Airframe launchers, 2 RIM-7 Sea Sparrow launchers, 2 Phalanx CIWS, and 2 Mk 38 guns
Crew and Marines - 1,200 crew and 1,600 troops
Aircraft - F-35Bs, AH-1Z Cobras, MV-22 Ospreys, CH-53E Super Stallions, and UH-1Y Venoms or SH-60 Knighthawks
I didn’t plan on doing this ship, but it was necessary, as it is a part of the 7th Fleet. I just simply copied and pasted the Essex’s hull and then from there, made all the needed modifications. I also updated my Essex design in the process after finding some inaccuracies.
The dry dock port for Bismarck and Prinz Eugen is finally complete. When new warships get done I will add new docks for them thanks to the modularity!

I’ve got the backbone of the fleet (cruisers, destroyers, and submarines), but I still have a lot of work to do.
Ships I’m missing:
1. Nimitz/Gerald Ford Class Aircraft Carrier
2. Whidbey Island Class Dock Landing Ship
3. San Antonio Class Amphibious Transport Dock
4. Lewis and Clark Class Dry Cargo Ship (the resuppliers)
The new Freedom and Independence Class Littoral Combat Ships are specialized vessels for specialized missions and are not usually seen in a fleet setting. The Zumwalt Class’s future is uncertain seen as the Navy can’t decide what role they should fulfill and the enormous development costs. So for that reason, I don’t plan on doing the Zumwalt for the purpose of completing my fleet.
