A new adventure is about to begin,

The big box



The contents





and there is a 420 page assembly manual.

Hmm. Will there be kit bashing or will you build out of the box . Make your own ropes?

 

[Heinrich]

This is a very impressive kit, Jan. This will keep you busy for hours and just think - no dust, no clamps, no waiting for glue to dry!

We will see, we will see. Hmm, plastic rope, right hand/left hand, three core/four core, I dunno, have to think about it.

Yup, the kit does have some great features. The Admiral is a big fan of the no dust aspect.

Le'go forward. Le'go Aft. Off we go. Bon Voyage.

The first build post.

Bag #1, the Keel



The build result of bag #1. A lot of little blocks. No parts left over, so all is good.




Bag #2 added to result from bag #1




So far so good, no parts left over.

Lookin' good Jan. Hey, they even include a 'slipway'

 

[dockattner]

How many projects do you have going now?

 

[Peter Voogt]

Nice to see the start of your new lego-build-lig, Jan.

Don't worry if you end up with a few minor extra bits and pieces, I build a dozen Lego Train buildings in past and most every kit seemed to have a few extras left, even when I would double check is step bag by bag, and then check inventory in back and some of left overs weren't even in kit inventory.

Oh one or two or maybe

I just checked to see whether it is available on Taobao. That is an expensive gift!

I'm finding it's little hard on the fingers. Some pieces refuse to snap into place without a little effort.

True, true. I've got quite a stash of pieces from other LEGO builds. Like you I wind up going back through the instructions to see if I missed a step.

Yup, it's well into the range of some of the kits being built on SOS.

@Heinrich
The irrefutable proof that I'm a LEGO nut.








These are some of the bigger ones I've built over the years. They are fully motorized working models.

Have you seen the price of the Titanic. 9000+ pieces
