Main Level
Attach two 10-by-2-stud bricks to a 10-stud by 6-stud plate. Place the bricks so they form a U-shape, on the sides of the plate, so they're attached to the plate by 3 studs on either side. Clip a 2-by-10-stud plate to the bottoms of the bricks to form an O shape.
Center a 2-by-4-stud plate on the thinner plate. Attach them to the shape with two 1-by-10-stud bricks.
Attach two 1-by-1-stud bricks with front studs to a vent. Repeat four times to make four units, and attach those to the base, against the bricks. There should be a 1-stud channel between the vent pieces, and they'll form a sort of rounded shape on the back of the raft.
Attach 2-by-2 flat plates to cover the tops of the vent pieces. Place another plate just ahead of that one. A 2-by-2 on each side, and a 1-by-4 plate in the center.
Attach two 1-by-10-stud bricks to the front of the base, so they meet with the inside of the side pieces. Attach a 2-by-2 square plate to the front of that so there's an overhang facing outward. Repeat this process to form the length of the barge. The front pieces should line up flat.
Attach ridged bricks to the 2-by-2 plates. Cover the front with a 2-by-10-stud plate
Place a 4-by-4 plate against the rear flat plate in the center. Place a 4-by-12-stud plate in front of that.
Cover the exposed space between the bricks with 10-stud-wide plates. Flip the model over and place the rounded base undersides on all of the 2-stud plates, the corners of the 4-by-10 pieces, and three on the back in an arc. Return the model upright.
Find the four 45-degree angled bricks, with pin holes on the fronts, attach them in an arc on the back.
Place two 2-by-2 pieces with attached pins to the front of the model, inset by one stud, with the pins facing forward. Attach two hinge base pieces behind them, another two 4-by-1 smooth plates, and two more hinge bases behind that.
Place single-stud bricks with pin holes over at the front corners of the model, over the third square in the middle, and above the point where the side rows start forward. Place sand-colored 1-stud bricks next to the front set, and 3-stud L bricks next to the second set. Attach vented bricks behind the last set.
Place tall, angled bricks over the side-holed bricks, and a 1-by-2-stud angled brick behind the last hinge base.
Attach round, red lights to the backs of two megaphones, and two bazooka-shaped pieces. Place these pieces mouth-down on every alternating stud on a 1-by-8 brick--megaphones first, then the bazookas. Place this unit on the right side of the base, between the second and third angled bricks.
Put two more 2-by-2 bricks with front-facing studs above the first pair, so the studs line up.
Place arches across all of the angled bricks, and a yellow 2-by-8 brick across the very front of the model.
Top Level
Attach two upward-angled bricks each of the arches--2-studs-wide on the first and third arch, single-studs on the second and fourth.
Place the two 2-by-1 tall bricks on the top edge of a 3-by-4 angled brick. Place this just inside the arch on the rear.
Place two round single-stud bricks behind the upward angled bricks. Fill the span between the first and second arches with a 1-by-10-stud brick.
Place two 2-by-1 stud plates on the ends of a 1-by-10 stud plate. Place another 2-stud plate in the center and two hooked plates facing the same direction on either side. Sandwich these between another 1-by-10 stud plate. Clip two clubs to the side of this piece.
Place the club-sided piece between the second and third arches, facing the left side of the vehicle. Stick another 1-by-10-stud plate on the other side of this span. Put another 1-by-2-stud brick in the remaining space on the arch.
Place two 8-stud-long fence-shaped pieces together, with 1-by-8 stud plates on the top and bottom. Attach hinge tops to the bottom corners of this piece. Put a 1-by-2-stud plate with a horizontal bar on the tops of these pieces.
Repeat to make a second unit. Attach these to the hinge bases on either side of the model.
Place the two taller arch pieces between the last two arches.
Attach two more 2-by-2 front-pinned pieces to a 2-by-4-stud plate. Place this at the front of the model.
Cover the arches with 1-by-8-stud plates, and place two 1-by-8 bricks on either end of the tall arches. Stick a 1-by-4 brick across the rear pillar, just inside the arch.
Attach two 6-stud arches on the rear pillar. Place two more 2-by-2 bricks in front of those arches.
Place a grate plate across the tall arches. Attach a 2-by-8 plate to the front of the model, and another just in front of the grate plate.
Attach a 2-by-1 brick below the grate plate, and a 4-by-1 brick to the back of the grate plate. Attach a 6-stud arch behind that.
Build a top platform at the back out of two 4-by-4 plates, with two 3-by-3 angled plates and a 2-by-3 plate, forming an arch at the back.
Top Platforms
Attach an upward hook to a rounded single-stud. Make 10 of these railing supports and place four on the corners of the grate plate.
Attach two narrow angled bricks, pointing forward, to the edges of the top platform. Attach a 2-by-2 angled brick to the back. Place upward-facing hooks to the tops of all these.
Connect two 2-by-12 plates to the edges of another grate plate, parallel to each other and lined up with the back. Place another 2-by-8 plate across the front of the side plates.
Attach a grate plate to the front of this, then two more 2-by-6 plates to the edges of this. Flip the piece over, and place a 1-by-8 plate on either edge.
Flip the piece over again, and put two 2-stud ridged bricks on the middle plate so they form a 2-by-2 area in the middle. Place 1-by-4 bricks around that area to form a square.
Place the six remaining rail supports at the corner and middle of these grate plates.
Put two 1-by-4 smooth plates across the middle square, covering both ridged plates. Place four upward hooks between these two plates so you can hang a gate across the piece.
Attach this piece to the front of the model.
Place the short rail pieces, which are hollow tubes, on the high grate plate, in the upward hooks. Place the longer pieces in the hooks on the lower grate plates, and curve the third around the top platform.
Build a gun turret and attach that to the top platform.
Build and attach the two sail sections to the centers of the front and rear grate plates.
The Nose
Take a ship's nose piece and flip it upside down. Attach another piece so the front angles match up, and place a ridged brick at the back side.
Place a pin-holed brick across the back.
Attach another layer of the nose, and fill the back with ridged bricks. Repeat this process until you use up the nose pieces.
Connect pin-holed bricks across the back of the nose so they line up with the four lower pins on the front of the main model section.
Place a rounded edge front brick on the bottom of the piece so it lines up with the pieces that make the main base of the model.
Attach this nose to the front of the model on the pins.
Build the front platform with a rounded nose plate. Attach two flat pin holders to the bottom rear of the piece, and reinforce it with some remaining plates.
Attach two 1-by-2 sloping bricks so the rear faces the main deck, and a 2-by-2 sloping brick on the front of the piece. Attach upward hooks and the remaining rail to this piece.
Build a gun turret and attach that to the center of the platform.
Connect this to the two remaining pins on the front of the model, so the front lines up with the curved nose.
