Bonaparte Posted December 20, 2006 It looks a bit too brown for my taste. But maybe this is normal for a medieval ship? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZCerberus Posted December 20, 2006 It has all the elements, I am just not sure if any of them are complete! In terms of the brown, the camera is also making it look like a lighter brown than it really is I think. Maybe in its real life darker state it isn't as... brown... ;) heehee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Willy Posted December 20, 2006 I have always very much admired this ship, a completly brown ship, too me, looks more realistic..I do not like the use of ladders as railings though, it looks sloppy and not too solid. good ship though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Bucanero Posted December 20, 2006 It looks a bit too brown for my taste.But maybe this is normal for a medieval ship? Wood is brown...Ships are made of wood, some ships in the Pirate era were also brown, but there aren't so much MOC's made in brown. The ships were oftenly painted..Now, over to the ship.. I actually like the fact it's brown! It looks quite realistic. I like the sail configuration, but they look a bit too white to me. The design is very nice. Typicly for the ships from this era is the bonaventura mast(I don't know if it's called like that it English(it's the fourht mast)), a very nice detail.

Mister Phes Posted December 20, 2006 It looks a bit too brown for my taste. If someone wanted to build a more historically accurate MOC how would they make a wooden ship without being too brown? But maybe this is normal for a medieval ship? Are exotic birds normal for medieval ship? Look a the birdie on the bow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oo7 Posted December 20, 2006 This here ship was made by a fellow known as Jonathan, son of Josh W, a member of this site along with others, most promently being Classic Castle. I like this ship and the use of the ladders is nice but I don't like the pastelle blue peices and such used on the deck. The overall look is very original.

Scouty Posted December 21, 2006 It's a nice and cool ship. Though, the bird does throw the color contrast way off the scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Roger Posted December 21, 2006 is good but i miss the cannons...i think the brown colours are cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonaparte Posted December 21, 2006 Are exotic birds normal for medieval ship? Look a the birdie on the bow! This indicates that the ship was sailing in tropical seas when this picture was taken ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oo7 Posted December 21, 2006 Do you think he'd be interested in discussing his MOC with us? Possibly. Since he hasn't visited our site in a while (sine June 3rd) I could go and contact him on another site he's more active at, good idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, it's a good idea! If he comes back, he could confirm if it's already took apart or not. If not he could take pictures... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonaparte Posted December 21, 2006 If someone wanted to build a more historically accurate MOC how would they make a wooden ship without being too brown? By using some paint. The English had a yellow boarder around their ships. But probably the real medieval ships were just brown without any paint. I was looking at some pictures in google, and those old ships were all brown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Bucanero Posted December 22, 2006 By using some paint. Are you gonna paint your lego? :S The English had a yellow boarder around their ships. Only the warships had... Speaking about English warships, I gonna start with my first brick-built-hull ship ASAP, an English one... It will be a brig...
