Creator's Key Takeaways

This was an extremely fun build uh to do, but it was extremely challenging at the same time.

I want to use as many big basic bricks as I can just so I've got a variety of bricks I can use rather than having a ton of them that I use for one or two specific builds.

I'm very, very happy with how it turned out. It's way better than the one on the icon build.

I hope you found this enjoyable and a little bit insightful.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Plan dimensions ahead of time using a ratio (e.g., one stud equals 3.33 feet).
โœ“Use basic bricks to maximize reusability across multiple builds.
โœ“Test new techniques and looks on each build to see what works.
โœ“Mark reference points on the build to avoid constant stud counting.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ships being too blocky or rough โ€” Use basic bricks for reusability; smooth pieces are less practical for multiple builds.
Running out of specific brick colors โ€” Plan color usage carefully; cannibalize other builds if necessary.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Welcome back to The Brick Executive channel! This is the first video in a new series which will be called "The LEGO Shipyard". In these more informal style of videos, we will discuss the planning and building of the LEGO models utilizing the both the in-progress photographs taken during the building phase as well as an online program I use to help in the planning phase. Throughout the videos, we will also discuss small easter eggs as well as fun stories about either the building process or the real ships themselves. In this episode, we will discuss the process of building the LEGO model of the second member of Royal Caribbean International's Icon class: Star of the Seas. I hope you enjoy and look forward to future videos of this series! NOTICE: I am not a professional. I did my best in terms of getting colors as close as possible with what I had at hand. Please understand that there are limits to what I was able to make due to what LEGO currently sells in colors and brick types. NOTICE: About 20% of my bricks to date are not LEGO-branded bricks. Most of these were given to me by a relative and I gladly include them in the builds. When additional bricks are needed for upcoming builds, I buy them directly from LEGO. NOTICE: I currently do not sell any of these LEGO models. Additionally, I do not make instruction manuals for these builds. They are purely freehand, and are initially planned and made from a number of resources ranging from deck plans, technical photographs, onboard footage, etc. Music in this video was provided by Epidemic Sound. #lego #cruiseship #staroftheseas #iconoftheseas #shipbuilding
