I'm glad you felt like that, I think I will proceed after your comment. Again, your ship is the finest around, and I have you to thank for the final kick off of inspiration to add the Beagle to the ranks. I should have it setting sail just after the new year. Thanks for the response Henrick, Chris

I'm thinking of building my LDD of the Beagle, it will cost a pretty penny, so i am really thinking about whether it's worth it or not. Was building this worth it in terms of bricks and space and displaying the finished product? Chris

In short; Yes, absolutly! In more detail; As I never keep any of my MOCs the cost of bricks is practically NIL, as most of them are put to good use later. Regarding the transport; I would not want to repeat transporting and re-building a full-rigged ship; the ropes and cords are a nightmare. Good planning and packing is necessary. It was certainly worth it on a personal level as the many visitors to exposition expressed their admiration for the MOC.

Beautiful.

How??

A Beautiful job !! Perfect detail such as the hull contours, you`ve done remarkably !!>.....well done

Pure Art..!

This is too awsome for comment...True masterpiece of art!;)

This is incredible. I can't quite figure out how you got some of your hull sections to curve like that. Ingenious engineering.

Incredible - the rigging and hull shape are perfect, and the level of detail is outstanding!

The creator of the real Cutty Sark would be proud!

Da jeg er en stor beundrer af dine mocs og selv har fundet megen inspiration i dem, har jeg taget mig den frihed, at invitere dig til min nye gruppe ”Ship Builders guide”.

Breathtaking!! Another great tribute and a high-value build.I love the hull: very pure and fluid.

Staggering !...a bit more exciting than my Airfix model version !>.....well done.....

This is stunning and extremely accurate. Love the minifigs on the sails. I think the real one was fire damaged a few years ago??? Maybe you could help them rebuild it ;).

Tak! Yes, the upper part is "just" bended, but I assure you that no bricks are harmed in hte prcoess. The bend ONLY uses the small tolerance-gap there is between each brick. When you use enough small bricks together, the tolerance allows for a whole curve to be formed.

This is great! You left me a comment on my model of Hms Ontario. And here I see ecxactly what you mean. The upper part of the hull though... is that just bended? The details are stunning and. -those angles again.

this is impresive...I do like all your creations especially your one big moc! I would be pleased for you to comment on some of my creations.

Wonderful, the hull is perfect

Crazy awesome

Hi Henrik! I quote again your magnificient ship just to invit you to see my new version(I hope the last one, though I'm still working for some captain's bedroom, and maybe a secret base for my sub) of my Titan sub now it is finished. :-) http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/252434#comments

You are a true master of the brick!

Nice detail and clean lines.

this truly is a 'chef d oeuvre! a master piece, a great work of art! i thank you for your most estimated comments, as they led me to this nothing less than fantastic build, if you ever take more pics of it, i d like to see a fig a the wheel! i loved those on sail! on a ship as real looking as this, it s gorgeous! wonderful masterful work!

Astounding work, Hendrick. The smoothness of the hull's lines is amazing as is the overall accuracy. This is good enough to be on display in Greenwich on board the ship itself. You are a true master of the brick!

you are a master men!! nice ship!

This is absolutely remarkable Hendrik. But I have a few questions. How did you make, or where did you acquire your sails? Is there an interior? And, if they exist, can you please send me the instructions for this wonder to Logicomix.Incryptory@gmail.com? I'll give you credit of course.

Well Henrik, I love cars, but nothing beats the beauty of sailing ships (apart from women of course) and this creation is a masterpiece. I am very impressed !!!

What a spectacular creation! It is so full of amazing details, the deck, the masts, the entire hull construction, the railing towards the bow, the dozens of ropes you fixed... Fantastic stuff! P.S.: How much does it weigh, BTW? And you´re right: Size matters:) Best regards, Steffen

Simply A W E S O M E !!!!!

this is the state of the art ....incredible and awesome

Very nice. She's beautiful, and she has great lines.

Congrats on getting blogged by The Brothers Brick. The non-purist rigging is a low point for me, but this is still five of five work. Fantastic MOC!

Wow! From a distance, you wouldn't believe it is built with Lego bricks... And the hull is an outstanding piece of work.

I have already posted a comment here but I think it is important to mention that this model was blogged on http://www.brothers-brick.com/ today! To be mentioned there is a real honor and this model definitely deserves it!

Thanks, but... I have to ask; Bring more of WHAT¿? ;-)

How did you... how did you make this!?!!?!? This is an awesome lego you made! But bring more to your next one (not that this one isn't good). I can't wait to see your next creation! Good luck! And nice work!

Definitely impresive

man i gotta learn how to build like this do you give lessons? XD Merry Christmas.~Ford

The sculpting of the hull is near-perfect and the detail is insane :)

Wow, awesome ship!

Dude, The most glorious thing this ship ever did was transporting tea from China and wool from Australia! (It´s not a war-ship. Look, it´s flying the British Merchant Navys flag!)

That is an awesome piece of work. The hull is great, and the woodwork is fantastic. The best ship I have seen so far.

Dude were are the cannons!?

One of the most beautiful LEGO ships! Great!

:O !!!!! Amazing !! awesome !!! killer !!! terrific !!! beautiful !!! WOW !! my english is not enought rich to describe your work but thank you for your work !!!

Fantastic job, specially on the hull. This is just inspiring.

This is spectacularly amazingly magnificently fantastic!

If you keep building like this, you have no need to worry about not being allowed in.

such a carefully molded keel and hull. bravo!

You have given me inspiration above all inspirations, beautiful ship! I must try my hand at that some day =) -Lewis

Man, that is cool! Really. As usual impressive!

Thanks! Using the very small gap there is between each brick; When doing it for several small bricks in a row, the angle grows enough to be usable! (See the "how-to" of the Calypso MOC!)

Absolutely incredible!

oh my goodness that is INCREDIBLE!!!!!

I think this is the best MOC I have ever seen! How did you bend the front part with the tiled plates?

Wow! Spectacular. A thousand words here would not do justice to this wonder. I'll use just one : wonderful!

I have around million words to describe it. I'll use only three: awesome, cool and beautiful!

This creation's moto would be - anything is possible with LEGO. Amazing! The work you did with this boat. The colors, the technique. Everything looks too real! Bravo!

One of the best sea-faring ships I've seen on the MOC pages!

Amazing! Great work and great technique, especially regarding the hull and rigging.

Great work! I know the model from building it as a plastic kit. You did an amazing job with the hull. Everything just in the right scale, very impressive!

Wow, this a beutiful creation! Love the hull, and that super clean deck, this is one nice SHIP!

Very impressive!

Just fantastic! The shaping of the bottom is well executed, and I love the building style. Gorgeous!

I haven't had the time to post a comment on MOCpages for months but this was simply too good to miss. Clean lines, just enough detail and a great hull. I have the Royal Clipper on my building "wish list". If I do ever get around to it, your model will be my major source of inspiration.

I´m usually not so much into ships, but your MOC is absolutely eye-catching. Fantastic work.

With every new creation you know to impress! This is perfect.

Fantastic ship!

It's amazing! That main picture is stunning!

Whoa! This is another truly great MOC from you Hoex! The hull, and all the clean look of it is unbelivable!

Never seen a hull like that before--Excellent work!

WOW, just WOW.

Outstanding. Deck and hull are excellent.

Crazy hull work!

Thanks! -As you rightly suspects, transport was nightmarrish, but everything worked out fine! ;-)

This is some fabulous work. I admire your work on the hull. You must have been particularly patient with all those lines. Does it transport well?

absolutely spectacular
