Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 26, 2014 Dwarven attack boats have been sighted in Tradewind Bay. Their origin is as unknown as their destination. Maybe they are trying to get to Avalonia, undetected by the Elves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mazin Posted December 26, 2014 Very cool indeed, fantastic job Hauptmann Braunsfeld And lovely composition as well Still, might be little off top here, but looking at those Hobbit boats it's hard not to think that TLG designers were pretty lazy doing those longboat don't You think? I mean, seeing the picture, art on the package i was sure this one is really gonna be a completely new mold. And immidiately thought about bying it because of this. Yet, as it happens, they used the simplest way to create this longboat, attaching two regular boats together! And it even doesn't look well. Well, one can still have two boat bying it, and built a longboat as well. But, seriously, i have say that they've tricked us a bit. Don't guys think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks for your comments! Still, might be little off top here, but looking at those Hobbit boats it's hard not to think that TLG designers were pretty lazy doing those longboat don't You think? I mean, seeing the picture, art on the package i was sure this one is really gonna be a completely new mold. And immidiately thought about bying it because of this. Yet, as it happens, they used the simplest way to create this longboat, attaching two regular boats together! And it even doesn't look well. I had built an initial version of these boats some years back, long before the Hobbit set came out. Now, I just used their technique to combine the boats because it looked a bit better than my initial attempt. The only way to get a decent long boat is: to build it yourself as a custom hull. The tilted masts give a whimsical look that I like. Let me explain where the tilted masts are coming from. At first they were straight but due to MBS (missing brick syndrom) I did not have the right technic brick in brown. (One mast is in black and the other one in brown) Then I toyed with the tilted version and then I thought that this gives the MOC a bit of "drive" or "energy" or "dynamics". So that's why I also changed the black mast to the tilted version. And I am quite happy with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mencot Posted December 29, 2014 Really nice looking dwarven boats, great job. The tilted masts give a whimsical look that I like. Indeed but I wouldn´t wanna be the guy who have to climb up to the crowsnest to lookout Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 29, 2014 Indeed but I wouldn´t wanna be the guy who have to climb up to the crowsnest to lookout You're right. That is why I also did not put any minifigure up in the crowsnest. It would also spoil the overall impression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
