Lego Battleship Project

LEGO fan and builder /u/LowTry256 has shared a custom creation featuring a model of the *Richelieu*-class battleship. The builder is currently seeking community feedback and design input on the proportions of the ship, specifically questioning whether the hull is too tall relative to its overall length.

According to the builder's specifications, the hull currently measures 9 LEGO blocks tall at the highest point of the bow and 7 blocks tall at its lowest point midship. To improve the vessel's profile, the builder plans to implement a gradual taper extending from the hull down to midship, concluding near the first barbette. Additionally, the builder is considering a color change for the lowest stud layer, swapping it to black to accurately represent the ship's waterline paint and visually reduce the perceived height of the hull.

While this project is a fan-made MOC (My Own Creation) rather than an official retail release with set numbers, piece counts, or price points, community sharing provides valuable refinement for custom builds. For builders taking on large-scale ship models or custom creations, having a reliable workspace and proper organization tools is essential. You can keep your building area tidy while working on complex projects by using a LEGO storage organizer to sort your bricks efficiently.
