Playful details

Engage in interactive and customizable details that breathe life into your high-seas escapades. You'll deftly operate a functional cargo lift, angle sails and colors with changes in wind, and navigate uncharted waters using a detailed map and telescope.

With interactive elements that spark your imagination, the Baltic Explorer becomes a vessel of endless creativity for maritime enthusiasts of all ages.

Inspiration

My inspiration for the Baltic Explorer stemmed from a fascination with maritime history and a desire to construct an authentic, period-correct ship model. Departing from the conventional LEGO ship designs that often truncate below the waterline, the Baltic Explorer proudly features a detachable full hull, faithfully capturing the essence of a majestic vessel sailing the open seas. This model was conceived as a display piece, without sacrificing the playability. Much like elegant wooden models, it invites enthusiasts to proudly exhibit it in their homes or offices, reconfiguring it to be admired from any perspective. In this way, the Baltic Explorer pays homage to maritime history and the enduring appeal of model shipbuilding as an art form, blending historical accuracy with LEGO's limitless possibilities.
