STX Europe launched a web-based competition called the BlockDocker. It consists of two series: Innovative and Oasis. In the Innovative series, the aim is to design a cruise ship of the future, keeping in mind the demands of tomorrow such as eco-friendliness and entertainment innovations.
The Oasis series challenges the competitors to build a replica of Oasis of the Seas, the largest cruise vessel in the world, currently under construction in STX Europe's shipyard in Turku.

The catch is that participants are supposed to design both of the models using an online design tool provided by LEGO.

The winner of the Innovative series will fly to Miami and supervise his/her model being constructed at the Cruise Shipping Miami event March 16-19. The winner of the Oasis series will be awarded an Oasis of the Seas engraved Apple iPod music player, as well as three models of his/her own Oasis LEGO design. The winner model of the Oasis series will be used as a corporate gift by STX Europe.

The competition ends January 9. See www.stxeurope.com for details

He he, If you want to see my work then go on the LDD Gallery and look at my ships. I have accounts as UKGB, UKGB2 and UnitedKingdomGreatBritainLine. There is a wide range of ships on there. Take a look and see if I am just big headed or not.

Just googled ldd gallery and searched in the username bit for ukgb, ukgb2 and UnitedKingdomGreatBritainLine and it didn't find anything

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #10 on:** December 19, 2008, 19:18:41 »

In the creation name search box type in Cruise ship. Click on the first one in the top left. Then click on the username where it says UKGB2 and see my ships. Ignore the ship that you click on by the way that was delibratly ugly as a mickey take out of pride of america and NCLs F3. To see my models of UnitedKingdomGreatBritainLine, Search creation name 'Ship' and go to page 10. Top Left, and follow the username link. To see the models of my UKGB username, Search cruise ship again and go to page 8. top left one, follow the username link. Alot of my UKGB models was when I was inexperienced, its the latter ones that you want to look at. By the way there are even some river cruisers on UKGB2

A screenshot of my entry into the innovation sector. Ofcourse its not finished, But the hull is pretty much done. Its called Ocean Inspiration.

That's good, I'm still researching, trying to find out a little bit about aerodynamic, I think it will be useful

Doesn't seem to work?

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #15 on:** December 20, 2008, 08:29:39 »

what do you mean doesnt seem to work? Maybe you have to be a member to see the gallery.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 20, 2008, 10:37:38 »

Perhaps you do!! If you do as you say and put Cruise Ship in the first box it comes up with one very poor model and nothing else. If you try to input your user name UKGB2 nothing comes up. Funny I would have thought Lego would like to show the gallery to encourage other users.

That is really wierd. But your right, the username search function does not work. But I have an idea, Copy and paste in the following URLs into the URL thing up top(the links given that are only half the urls dont work, but pasting the whole thing will):

http://factory.lego.com/gallery/?parameters=2||3b47f759-6956-4d3e-9222-3333fb089329
http://factory.lego.com/gallery/?parameters=2||b05faf6e-034c-4e41-80c6-7313eab6406a
http://factory.lego.com/gallery/?parameters=2||6c6c650c-f179-4a28-a16b-49f5facf4a47

If that doesnt work then I dont know what will! Will you be entering the competition by the way Mike?

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 20, 2008, 14:43:10 »

Those don't work either, look at your post and you will see that there are faults in your links

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #19 on:** December 20, 2008, 15:14:15 »

They werent sposed to be links, they were sposed to be things to paste into the url box. Paste the whole line of each one one at a time.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 20, 2008, 17:07:35 »

RMS

Got it now!! Those URL's work when the whole lines is pasted. Some very good models there!! Do they take as long timewise to make on the PC as they would in real blocks?
