Sinking a LEGO Technic Merchant Ship

A Brief History of LEGO Ship Building - Part IV

A brief history of LEGO shipbuilding is a series of videos that will tell the story of how I created two of my largest builds. An aircraft carrier and a small merchant ship. In those videos you will witness the stages that led to the final ship designs, as well as speed builds of the two ships and of course an Epic Test in the mountains... no, wait... in the water...

In the fourth part of the series we will say goodbye to the merchant ship and sink it...

All motors and electronics were of course removed prior to sinking the ship.

Merchant ship V1.0 specs :
Power : 2x LEGO XL motors
Steering : 1x LEGO servo motor
Control : 1x BuWizz
Remote controller : An old Nexus 5X :)

Footage was shot on DJI Mavic Mini, Apeman A77 and Sony HDR-AS30V action camera.

April 1941

Steaming along Brazilian coasline, an allied merchant ship carrying explosives was caught by a U-Boat that scored a direct torpedo hit which blew open her cargo bay and broke her keel, admitting the sea into the bowels of the ship.

With the ship's engines disabled and the option to beach her out of the window due to a strong current, the crew abandoned ship, which went down in under 40 minutes and entombing 28 crew members still inside.

Beautiful and very sad at the same time. *tears up *

The worst thing about wet Lego: getting it dry again. I had a Lego police boat a long time ago. Played with it outside in puddles and stuff. 2 weeks later, still found some wet bricks

[STUDZiammanythings]

[Andrewguy-fyrx]
