Futuristic Dock
Hello everybody! I’m glad to resubmit this science fiction project featuring a futuristic dock. It has about 2,000 pieces.
I have spent a lot of enjoyable hours creating this project with Studio, and several more rendering the different views and details. I was eager to build this project because I love this theme, and in my mind, I have the idea to build a large city with different futuristic models.
The main features are set forth below.
Main Features
The dock comprises the following areas or facilities: a boat repair workshop, a fish market, two hotel capsules, an air filtering station, a power station, a water pumping station and a communication tower. The dock has a navigable channel to entry into the city.
The set has been designed onto two baseplates (32x32 and 16x32). It further comprises three boats, five minifigures and a rat.
Boat Repair Workshop
The boat repair workshop mainly consists of a metallic structure and a bridge crane. Under the bridge, there is a ramp to get the boats out from the water, assisted by the motorized crane. The working area has four lifts stands where the boats may be easily repaired. A fully equipped compressor helps the workers with the reparation and maintenance tasks.
Fish Market
Next to the boat repair workshop, and just under one of the hotel capsules, there is a fresh fish stand. The nearby waters provide a rich diversity of species. The fishmonger is checking the last catch, a big fish almost as big as the fisherman.
Hotel Capsules
They are one of the cheapest choices to stay on such crowded city. Each M.3 capsule is equipped with a bed, a shower and a cupboard. A water supply pipe and a drainpipe connect with each capsule.
Air Filtering Station
The dock has an air filtering station under one of the hotel capsules. The air is taken from a front grille by two air extractors, conducted, filtered and distributed towards three nozzles to provide clean air to the dock. A biohazard sign warns the people to stay away from the filters.
Power Station
Energy is provided by a power station which is equipped with a power transformer, a distribution tower and a distribution panel. A metallic fence with a door keeps away the people from the installation.
Water Pumping Station
Water is provided by a pumping station located in the front part of the dock. The water is pumped and distributed by means of underground pipes. A manhole cover allows access to the pump and the valves for maintenance tasks.
Communication Tower
The communication tower is provided with different antennas and equipment to transmit and receive signals from everywhere. The tower is also used as a street lamp.
Boats
The model has three boats. Two of them are speedboats of the latest generation, the fastest of the market. The other one is a sophisticated fishing boat.
Minifigures
Young man
Fishmonger
Fisherman
Workers (2)
I believe this model would make a great LEGO set for many reasons. To begin with, the futuristic theme arouses the interest of many people from different ages. Also, the set is very playable with several minifigures and vehicles, which can be used in the different areas or facilities. The model also uses some specific parts which are not within the most used in the current sets, and it combines them in a way that can make the building process more exciting and interesting. Finally, the model is scalable, being possible to extend it from each one of its sides to create a large city without limit to the imagination.
I hope you like it. Thanks for your support!
