I got some bricks recently and decided to make some compatible parts, and as I have had this Bambu Lab boat kit sitting around for a while thought I would draw inspiration from a Ribtec to create this little model.
As well as the Bambu Lab boat kit you will need a little glue to fix the dowels into the parts securely. I use super glue with a needle nose applicator for this. Suggest not using Gorilla Glue as it expands and pushes out the dowels.
Put a very small dab of glue in the base of the piece where the wheel will be fitted as pictured.
If you do not have a needle nosed applicator for your super glue, put a small dab on the end of the wheel instead. | ![]() |
Now insert the wheel into the hole, ensure it is pushed in and put to one side to dry. | ![]() |
Put a small dab of super glue into the bottom of the holes at the rear of the boat, or on the tips of the larger dowels. | ![]() |
Insert the dowels into the holes and ensure they are pushed all the way in.
Carefully wipe up any excess glue with a paper towel, ensuring to not get it anywhere else on the boat. | ![]() |
Put a tiny amount of glue in these holes in the bottom of the boat. | ![]() |
Insert the smaller dowels in the holes, ensuring they are pushed all the way in.
Carefully wipe away any excess glue from around the dowels.
At this stage I check the dowels are really all the way in one more time, re-wipe glue as necessary and leave it to dry for 5 mins. | ![]() |
Put a small dab of glue in the bottom of the holes in the cones, or on the tips of the dowels on the back of the boat. | ![]() |
Push the cones firmly onto the dowels on the back of the boat.
Leave them to dry a little if you are not comfortable continuing, but please check they stay flush with the boat periodically. | ![]() |
Put a tiny amount of glue in the two holes (or on top of the dowels at the front of the boat).
This part also benefits from a thin layer of glue on the underside as pictured below the holes. | ![]() |
Insert the driver area onto the dowels as pictured. | ![]() |
Put a tiny amount of glue in the two holes (or on top of the dowels at the rear of the boat). | ![]() |
Carefully place the rear seat onto the dowels aligning the holes and ensuring it is pushed all the way down. | ![]() |
Wait for the glue to dry, and add some people. | ![]() |
The Bambu Lab boat kit clips easily to the indentation at the back, time to go sailing! | ![]() |
