Outrageous Boat: the Final Stage

The model of a outrageous boat built using LEGO® pieces.

Finally, I am ready to present my project in its entirety! It is an outrageous boat.

See the previous stages: stage 1 and stage 2. The project also includes the "Carriage Suspension", "Gaming Chair", and "Reaction Engine" projects.

The idea for the project came to me after I saw the "6466349: TYRE NORMAL WIDE Ø43,2 X 22" part in the "31148 Retro Roller Skate" set. I immediately wanted to use it in some kind of DIY project, but for a long time I couldn't figure out what. And then they announced the "77048 Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour" set with the part "6408680: ROWING BOAT 5X14X2 1/3," and I realized that they just had to be combined! All that remained was to find a third piece, something equally extravagant and gloomy for balance. And then I came across the "71782 Cole's Earth Dragon EVO" set with an excellent dragon head!

So, the three parts are "6466349: TYRE NORMAL WIDE Ø43,2 X 22," "6408680: ROWING BOAT 5X14X2 1/3," and the dragon head from the "71782 Cole's Earth Dragon EVO" set. Considering the main feature of the first two—their unusual colors—I immediately decided that the color scheme would be the heart of my DIY project. And I paid special attention to it during development.

Another important component of the design was deliberate pretentiousness. Hence the name and the design of the other missing parts—the suspension, the chair, and the engine.

P.S. Translating the name was a separate challenge. In my native language, there is a word that perfectly reflects the meaning I put into the project. It is borrowed from the French word épatage. Unfortunately, there is no direct translation in English, and I spent a long time looking for the most accurate equivalent. I hope I chose the right one.
