Yes.
I have been building this since late august early september.

Also, this is all in clickable thumbnail version, to save space and not page stretch (for some.)

The concept is that this is an airship, it uses fans for upward propulsion and two thrusters for turning/forward propulsion. This ship has no means of going backwards, which can be a hassle when trying to parallel park it.

Overview of the ship

Another view of the front

The Great Room, aka the first room you enter when in the interior


An action shot of The Great Room


Bedroom to the right of the "Netwars4" sign


Bedroom to the left of the "Netwars4" sign


The organ room, labeled "Netwars4" at the entrance to it


The organ itself, being used aptly


Another picture of the organ, without me playing it


The loft in the organ room (has two chests, and two shelves of things)


The kitchen, to the right of the stairs entering The Great Room


The bathroom, to the left of the stairs entering The Great Room


Another shot of the bathroom, with its old fashioned flusher toilet


Exit the interior, and head down the ladder. There is a trap door, this is what is under said trap door.



In order to see everything about this build (such as the cannons on top, who doesn't love cannons?) I would recommend getting the save.

Things that are needed for the full effect of the build:
-all JVS Content (or at least the doors, lever, and light switch)
-No lines 1x1 and 4 sided print bricks
-[Cityz Edition] Modified Lights
-Trueno's Colorset
-Fan

-Wouldn't hurt to have VCE Events either, but it's not needed.

Save

So I hope you all like it.

Oh ps, you can rate if you wish.


Responses to people's insight.

  • Edit for mean things: However the exterior of the back of the ship looks odd. Why is there an organ. The kitchen and bathroom, as well as the 'under the trapdoor' could be better.

    Edit for more mean things: The rails on the outside of the ship are a bit plain, and where do you steer?
    The back of the ship I had a really hard time trying to figure out, because the height of it is a few thirds off from normal brick height (my memory isn't good right now but I believe it was somewhere around 8 2/3 height) so making something that fit with that was a little tricky for me.
    The purpose of the organ was because I wanted to have one in the back, in a somewhat similar style to Davy Jones' Organ in Pirates of The Carribean. It plays music if that contributes to anything. D:

    For the kitchen and bathroom, I'm going to check on whether I can increase their size at all, and the Maintenance Walkway (the under the trap door) is really not meant to be viewed well from the inside, since it would rarely be used.

    I didn't even think about changing the rails.
    And the steering mechanism is a little strange, basically what you have to do is shut off one of the two thrusters in order to steer, since there is no rudder on the ship.
  • It just doesn't seem right to me with out the sails there. But other then that it is very good.
    I want sails on that bitch.
    I still think it could use a balloon or two though.
    I'll be trying to add balloons, and possibly attempt sails again.




NEW SAVE
Includes:
More stuff on the control area, and a steering wheel.

Amazing.

Even though it is an Airship it just seems to me like it is missing something that belongs on top. It just doesn't seem right to me with out the sails there. But other then that it is very good.

I saw this in person and really liked it.
I still think it could use a baloon or two though.
8.9/10

This is the first build I have rated in a while, and that score is rather high for how I rate.

Yeah, I wouldve added sails/balloons(lie), and attempted to, however each set of sails/balloons(lie) I made just completely failed and looked like it was taped onto the ship, or it looked like a tumor on the ship.

Awesome sauce :0
It looks great!
I love the Great Room. It looks so creative and appealing.

Yeah definitely my favorite room.
However I also like my organ, and the bathroom.


It looks good but, arent cruisers white?

Oh stuff, i love this.

So you finished it? It was pretty empty last time I saw it...
But that was probably a month ago or so.

I love this. I bet you'll get in.

I say yes.Not in NWB.
