lego fox Posted February 15, 2010 My ship yard has been going nuts, lonching new ships all the time. So I hope you injoy the Brunswick. See more hear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_green_avenger Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Great ship Some of the things seem a little funny, like the striped masts and the white rigging. Its good, accually great rigging, just it'd look better in brown/black. Also interesting how you decided to use a dowel for the bowsprit. The sails look good, but if your going for an old style look, don't wrinkle the sails, instead, dip them in some coffee/tea, to give them a light brown color. Those headrails are really great... IMO they might look better in a different color. The stern looks great! Thats probably my favorite part, great job on that Overall theres a couple things you could fix, Though I see that having the rigging already done, it might be hard to tweak some things. Good effort!

Admiral Croissant Posted February 16, 2010 Very nice ship! The sides are a bit chaotic, but the rigging is really great. And mainly because of that (and because the masts and colours are so good): Keep an eye on the frontpage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted February 16, 2010 Really nice to see a ship from you again, especially one as good as this! I'd love to see some more detailed pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorro Posted February 16, 2010 I like your newest ship, lego fox, but the rigging seems a bit excessive to my personal taste . Everyone their own thing of course! I would love to see some more detailed pictures as well! Please no attacks on people's spelling. Leave this to the mods, we'll intervene when necessary. Thanks!

Different people have different conditions which affect them in different ways. You are right about ships in real life, they do have the same or more amount of rigging but this looks a little much for ship made of Lego, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KinzCove Pro. Posted February 17, 2010 Very nice ship you've got there! I like the style of the rigging, quite nice. The sails look good also. You did a nice job on this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alright, I guess I shouldn't've really criticized on spelling. (thats what you moderators are for...) And IMO i like to see lots of rigging on ships. Kinda as a sign of quality. Which I think adds a lot to this ship... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't find it in the EB-glossary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ratshot Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) And what's an ADD? I couldn't find it in the EB-glossary. Its not a Lego term silly It means "attention deficit disorder", it basically means that you can't focus on stuff as well as others, lots of kids have it.

lego fox Posted February 17, 2010 I'm glade you all like the ship and I'll try to get some better photos this weekend, but I don't have ADD. I have ADHD or Attention Deficit HIpper Activity Disorde. With ADHD you have most of the same problems as ADD ,but you get easley exsited and you have trubbel stitting still and behaving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same with what admiral becjuane said plus 99.99% of ADD is really ADHD (same here, I'm ADHD) Sorry 'bout the spelling criticism (you might want to try and use the spell check in the top right of the screen when making posts). And I was accually looking up in the dictionary the definition of grandeur and it was spelled grandUEr, I just checked and it is... so either the dictionary is wrong, or you can spell it both ways...

the_green_avenger Posted February 23, 2010 very nice ship ! Ijust wonder, why did you chose this name for it ? Probably named after THIS ship... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guss Posted March 1, 2010 oh ok so that makes sense ! XD ( I just have a friend whose last name is "Brunswick" and he just keep telling me that he's from an old noble family. XD ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lego fox Posted March 5, 2010 The real resone for the name is I was driving to werk and it just poped into my head and I could not get it out. I like namming ships this way, It keeps me gessing. but at other times it's just one big hedacke. How do you guys deside on a name for your ships? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Names in real life, are usually chosen by the captain, either as a quality of the ship (like grandeur), a personal reason (like rochester), or just some random name that pops into ones head that sounds fitting enough.
