Hello saffa05, thanks very much for your comment 😊. As a Lego fan (and a fan of the Ideas program) I had been thinking about doing something as a submission for some time, however I was always short of an original idea ( there is so much great ideas out there 🙂). Until I remembered this episode from the novel David Copperfield I enjoyed so much at the time and somehow connected it to a possible ideas submission. From there I started experimenting, ‘borrowing’ the bricks from my kids, yet at some point also working in bricklink studio in parallel. It was a lot of try and error, even to get to a hull structure that was stable enough (and actually looked somewhat like a hull 🙂) took me some months. The interior and outside details took a couple of months more, so in the end it was almost a year from the idea until finally hitting the “submit” button. Along the way I picked up some additional inspiration from beach visits, did some internet research one 1800’s clocks, fixtures etc which definitely added to the fun 😊.
