Lego Rescue Ship ERRV Grampian DonThis astonishing creation is a 1.25 meter long replica of the Northern Star rescue boat ‘Grampian Don’, built by the immensely talented Konajra on Flickr. Konajra designed the ship in LDD, before building it for real from over 15,000 LEGO pieces.

Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, the Grampian Don supports the North Sea oil exploration platforms, providing emergency rescue response for the hundreds of North Sea oil workers. To see more of this amazing creation visit Konajra’s Flickr page at the link above, or join in the discussion Eurobricks here.

Dutch Coaster Ship

1950s Dutch Coaster ‘Fiona’

I don’t think we’ve posted a Dutch ship at all before now, and yet today we’ve blogged two! The second is this 1950s Coaster, built by Konajra on Flickr. Measuring 1.25 meters long and absolutely packed with details, it’s well worth taking the trip to Flickr to see more.

Lego Tug Boat

Giant rubber duck just out of shot

We all had a few bath toys when we were little. A rubber duck. A soap-carrying hippo. A submarine. But best of all were the tug boats.

This stupendous example by VFracingteam might require a slightly bigger bath though. At a meter long and 28cm wide it’s absolutely packed with details, and possibly caused a brief world-wide shortage of Technic lift-arms. We’ve featured a few ships like this one here on The Lego Car Blog, as the technique of building watercraft from smooth Technic becomes more commonplace, and this is perhaps the best yet. To see more visit the discussion on Eurobricks, or visit VFracingteam’s Brickshelf gallery.

Now that reminds us, time to catch the Elves for their monthly dip.

Not a car. But easily the most detailed model we have ever featured.

This is the Tyr Viking. And it’s awesome. At over 1.25 meters long and 70 cm high, we really don’t have a sufficient enough vocabulary to describe it properly. So instead, we suggest you take some time to visit Konajra‘s photostream, and let the incredible pictures do the talking.

…Wind power that is!  Check out Chris Melby’s (aka ZeeMasterBrick) latest dynamic MOC titled WIND.  A fantastic creation with plenty of SNOT, moveable sails and two flying pelicans! What more could you want to win the America’s Cup.
