Lost Viking Posted February 23, 2006 Well in Canada we got the Limited Edition Super Phes, instead the interchangable hand and hook parts on his right hand was on his left, it also came with an actual musket for hours of fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tophdawg Posted February 23, 2006 although limited edition super phes is cool nothing could beat the platinum phes now all that needs to be done is for the platinum phes to be invented Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted February 24, 2006 Any minute now all these off topic posts are going to become a new thread... It'll probably end up the Community Forum because you have "piratized" the posts enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snefroe Posted February 24, 2006 MY GOD its sailing dangerously close to the edge of the world!!! the ship doesn't have any sails so i don't think it'll do anything... unless it has an engine block in there somewhere... but then i guess it would be stupid to have masts....

It does have sails: those big chunks across the masts are rolled-up sails. They just couldn't set them 'cos they don't have rigging yet... I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think... really? usually people use white bricks to do that... i think they're part of the masts. as Suvie said, it looks as if he rushed to the end. Perhaps he just didn't do them...

Perhaps he just didn't do them... To me those "black thingies" around the "thick thingies" look like rigging used to tie rolled-up sails to the mast... I agree, usually sails are done in white. But this ship isn't "usual" in any way so he could have been thinking of doing the sails in a more "natural" color. I could be totally off, of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Willy Posted February 26, 2006 How did he plan out such thing of beauty.That is absolutley insane. just..Just mad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted February 26, 2006 Does anyone think that the sails would look better if that were made from material rather than bricks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamweb Posted February 27, 2006 I agree the final result is a bit of a disappointment. OK it is very big and has a lot of details but these strange masts and sails spoil the overall look drastically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted February 27, 2006 So could it be said this MOC wasn't so promising afterall? Count Sneffy you'll pay for getting us excited for no reason!!! :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snefroe Posted February 27, 2006 So could it be said this MOC wasn't so promising afterall? Count Sneffy you'll pay for getting us excited for no reason!!! :-D :$ :$ :$ i admit, it didn't go quite the way i was hoping for when i first saw these pics on brickshelf, and yes, he made a few bad decisions about the sails and masts, however, i do admire the builder for his/her work and vision. he/she doesn't follow the narrow margins lego sets when releasing models, he/she is not limited to what lego thinks is possible ... sure, it's not perfect .... yet... but it can still happen... btw, all those canons... g... a real treasure... :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted February 27, 2006 Which way did you think it would go Count Sneffy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
