About this model:
Pay tribute to Dutch maritime history with this massive LEGO® MOC of the Smit Steenbank. Based on the famous 1960s tugboat class that was a staple in the port of Rotterdam, this model captures the sturdy, classic lines of a true harbor workhorse. With approximately 8,500 parts, it is a monumental project for any dedicated ship model enthusiast.
What you will receive:
The original Stud.io (.io) design file, allowing you to explore the 3D architecture, customize the livery, or prepare your own part-sourcing.
Full digital freedom: Since this is a Stud.io file, you can instantly generate your own XML parts list for BrickLink directly within the software.
For the Master Builder:
Please note that this is a raw, advanced-level design file and not a standard instruction booklet. It is designed for experienced builders who enjoy the engineering puzzle of creating custom structures. Some connections are complex, offering a highly rewarding challenge for those looking to master advanced MOC building techniques.
Important Note:
This is a digital product (Stud.io file). No physical LEGO® bricks, elements, or minifigures are included.

⚠️ Important Note for Master Builders
This is a raw design file and represents a high-level engineering challenge. Please read the following carefully before purchasing:
Design Challenges: The file may contain technical "errors" or complex part overlaps (illegal connections) that were solved manually during the original physical assembly.
Expert Level Only: These hurdles remain in the digital file. I believe a true "LEGO freak" enjoys the engineering puzzle of designing a custom skeleton and building around these issues to achieve a rock-solid final result.
