LieutenantBluecoat Posted April 28, 2015 (177A) One-Mast 7B So I made this yesterday. It's a small little set that barely stands out from the true beauties of the Pirate MOCs thread, but at least it's something. Included is an Imperial Soldier and Sailor. Images: It fails to attain detail, but it's a nice little set of mine. I wish LEGO Digital Designer had sail pieces though. The "Sail" was placed with Developer Mode (a feature only accessable by modifying the "Prefrences" file in LDD, if I remember correctly.) Total Bricks: 40 Total Minifigures: 2 Total Accessories: 9 Inventory: Part 2551 - Rowing Boat Part 87994 - Shaft 3M Part 2335 - Flag with 2 Holders Part 2556 - Assembly Element Part 3062 - Round Brick 1X1 (2) Part 4740 - Sattellite Dish Part 87585 - Mini Oar (2) Part 74340 - Turn Table 2X2 Part 87580 - Plate 2X2 w 1 Knob Part 63965 - Stick 6M w/Flange (2) (Substitute for Part 4318) Part 6076 - Mast 10M w/Ball (Substitute for Part 4319) Part 30504 - Corner Plate 45 Deg 8X8 (Substitute for sailbb01) Part 4162 - Flat Tile 1X8 (Substitute for sailbb01) Part 6636 - Flat Tile 1X6 (2) (Substitute for sailbb01) Part 3070 - Flat Tile 1X1 (3) (Substitute for sailbb01) Part 2431 - Flat Tile 1X4 (2) (Substitute for sailbb01) Part 63864 - Flat Tile 1X3 (Substitute for sailbb01) Part 3069 - Flat Tile 1X2 (Substitute for sailbb01) Part 3023 - Plate 1X2 (2) Part 3020 - Plate 2X4 Part 37200 - Mini Lower Part (2) Part 76382 - Mini Upper Part (2) Part 2524 - Knapsack Part 2526 - Epaulets (2) Part 3626 - Mini Head (2) Part 2545 - Mini Shako Part 2544 - Mini Three-Cornered Hat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yawgmoth Posted April 29, 2015 Tiny feedback: I am pretty sure the soldier minifig would look better if you swap the order between the backpack and the eppaulettes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LieutenantBluecoat Posted April 29, 2015 Tiny feedback: I am pretty sure the soldier minifig would look better if you swap the order between the backpack and the eppaulettes Actually that is not possible in LDD. The Epaulets were placed on the backpack through Developer Mode, and it could only be placed on top of the backpack, and cannot be placed underneath, sadly.

Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 29, 2015 Looks ok to me (but I would recommend not to hide the main pic with that "spoiler"-technique). Now, move on to the next ship! What about a Gaff Rigged Sloop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Dee Posted April 30, 2015 This reminds me of an Idea book design - small, simple, something that any serious Pirates fan could build. Too bad TLG doesn't offer something like this in a set the way they once did... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Epaulets were placed on the backpack through Developer Mode, and it could only be placed on top of the backpack, and cannot be placed underneath, sadly. It's possible if you take a little advantage of LDD. Here's the LXF for my version of the bluecoat soldier: Edited April 30, 2015 by lomis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been looking all over the place for modern Imperial Soldiers decals that worked in LDD. Anyway, thank you for the .LXF, I'll use that backpack combination with all the MOCs I make from now on.

lomis Posted May 1, 2015 Woah! Where'd you get those decals? I've been looking all over the place for modern Imperial Soldiers decals that worked in LDD. Anyway, thank you for the .LXF, I'll use that backpack combination with all the MOCs I make from now on. I created the decorations in Adobe Illustrator and exported them as PNG. You can find most (if not all) of them in my post in the "LIBRARY: Pirate Torso/Decal/Sticker Designs" thread. The tricky decoration is the shako with badge and red plume. I actually created an include file for POV-Ray to help render that appropriately since it's not an option in the LDD to POV-Ray Converter. I'll probably post a how-to on that soon if you're interested... Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
