There were three of them - Titanic and Brittanic and Olympic. First met the iceberg, second met the mine. Only the third one (in fact - the first one built) survived and served until 1935. Flickr user rh1985moc built the microscale model of her:
Lots of LEDs (20) were put inside hull, which made the following night view shots possible:
“You’re gonna need a bigger boat”. In Spielberg’s Jaws Sheriff Martin Brody (Roy Schneider) says it to his crewmate Quint (Robert Shaw) when he sees the shark for the first time. This 70’s Oscar hit still inspires AFOLs all over the world.
Recently Brickshelf user OrionPax (Alex) published a nice diorama with the final battle between the killer shark and the crew of “Orca”:
It shows that Alex spent a while studying how the original boat looks like - we can even see the yellow airtanks.
Also our Ricardo (Evildead) has a Jaws-inspired creation in his gallery. Here’s Orca docked in port of Amity:
There is also a couple jaws-like clips on Youtube, here’s my favorite (unfortunately, the person who uploaded it is not the author):
And, if you never saw the Spielberg’s masterpiece here’s the trailer:
Christophe Bongay (cblolego) presents a great cartoonish scene with a sinking battleship:
The name and flag may suggest this is inspired by the story of Japanese Yamato battleship sank on it’s last suicidal mission.
It’s hard to decide what I love most about this creation. The color of the water is great, I feel cold just by looking at it. The ship is ingenious. Jumper plates look exactly like rivets, the twisted proportions are just sweet and the hole in the hull is a cherry on top of the cake. Minifigs are nicely selected and the trick with the swimming silhouette, even if repeated looks still fresh.
HispaLUG’s Joaquinito from Santander created the amazing model of Alonso de Chaves, Spanish sea rescue vessel named after the 16th century’s Master Navigator:
To be precise - a half of the model:
The amount of details put in the interior is amazing - we can see the engine room, living quarters and a navigation room. Additionally, the crane seems to be powered by pneumatic piston!
Jeremy, also known as Smod, posted a nice little monitor. No, no - monitor is not only this thing in front of you, it is also the name of warship class.
Ship looks like a tiny tank, but the most cool thing about it is the ability to detach the deck and place it on the water made from blue bricks. In fact, this should be a standard among boat builders.
