It's time for another index!
So, here's an overview for all the Imperial Armada fans on the forum.

(The thumbs are the links)
















If you find some Imperial Armada MOCs that are missing in this index, just post them in this thread and we'll add them.

Credit also goes to our Pirate Moderator Mr. Tiber for helping me find enough Imperial Armada MOCs.

A link on CP? That's a good idea...
Just added one  ;-)

Good work old chap!

I'm pretty sure there was one more Armada Flagship-inspired MOC discussed somewhere in here a long time ago, it was a small ship with no middle sections... I searched the forum but couldn't find it! Maybe it was lost somehow...

Anyway, if I might make a suggestion about this index and all indices in general - in case of MOCs which have their threads on this forum, wouldn't it be better if the thumbnails were links to the threads, not to brickshelf galleries? We can assume every thread has a brickshelf link in it. That way someone studying the index may easily post comments on the featured MOCs in their threads. Of course MOCs with no threads on this forum would still be linked to brickshelf folders.
Sorry if this has been discussed before, it's not easy to remember or find all discussions that take place here! :)

Did it use the Armada Flagship hull?

[Dreamweb]

Yes, just no middle section... It was one of the first MOCs I saw after registering here :)

I don't believe that my reasoning for making the indexes as they are has been explained, so here it is:

The links go to the BS-libraries because this way they can all be the same (since not all MOC have a thread in the forum). So one reason is uniformity. Another reason is because this way they are "forum independent". If something happens to this forum (e.g. the database is lost) I still have a backup of all the indexes on my PC and they can just be posted again once problems are solved. They will work again even when (in a worst case scenario) all threads were lost. Hopefully this never happens! And there is always the "search tutorial". It's only added in the larger MOC-indexes (but I should add it in all of them). With a few clicks (just by following this small "tutorial"), you can find ALL the thread in which a MOC was mentioned or discussed using the forum search function. Indeed, often as MOC is mentioned in more than 1 thread as a comparison or reference.

Great index, and even greater: I'm in it!

Thanks for making this, I'm sure it took a lot of time searching and getting it together.

Are you including MOCs that are Spanish but have no armada minifigures such as this one or this one?

We do, but this ship is not yet finished (and we are restriction the indexes to finished MOCs).
We had a look at the "Spanish castle" but since the minifigs are a rather wild bunch, decided not to add it.
Thanks for the suggestions! Keep them coming...

[Piranha]

Thankz for the index(altohugh it has already been said)
I liked the Imperial armada subtheme
I would have liked to have seen more sets though
but these MOCs are very nice indeed

Mr. Bonaparte, why did you dig out my Spanish version of BSB? :-P I'm not particularily proud of it and it's not even a real MOC - it's just an official set with different crew, sails and a bunch of other bricks :-)
Don't get me wrong, I have no objections to this "MOC" being in here, and I think you made a great job with this index. I just don't like this ship and forgot about it a long time ago, and you reminded me of it by putting it in here :-P
Anyway, are you planning on making other indices, like Bluecoat MOCs for example?

[Bonaparte]

I had to look very hard to find enough imperial armada MOCs for this index.
So I'm happy you made yours, even when you don't like it very much  ;-)
I'll probably make some other indexes in the future. Ideas are always welcome!

[Mister Phes]

You're doing a mighty fine job Mr Bonaparte!
