Dunkleosteus Posted December 26, 2014 LDD/MLCad 14D Greetings, my dear colleagues! This bright Christmas time the only way I can congratulate you is to delight your eyes and romanticize your minds with this graceful ship. I decided to dedicate this ship to my good friend Kolonialbeamter - his support and warm responses to my ships are essential for my creativity. So there is a xebec - every person who has ever interested in maritime history was certainly fascinated by the grace of this light and dangerous ship. I used quite tiny scale, so there are only 10 cannons, but I am sure that little sea predator with unique abilities for close-hauled sailing can be incredibly dangerous, even for large vessels. This is my second xebec project and not the last for sure. You can find the ship here: https://www.flickr.c...157651089454676 Creating this ship I used the same technology as here: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=102498 and here: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=102667 and here: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=103561 Thank you for your attention Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 26, 2014 The Xebec is really cool - and to me much different from your other ships. Well done! Did you post the LDD-file somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sebeus I Posted January 3, 2015 Very nice, I love her shape, normally I'd say I'd like to see her in real bricks but judging from those pictures I'm assuming it's not possible. The sails aren't attached, are they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurigan Posted January 4, 2015 Im a little surprised my self that I've not yet commented on any of your LDD series. I used to have quite the LDD fleet myself and usually try to show support to my roots. This one may be your best yet. It's certainly not the largest or grandest but seems the most stylistic. I just plane like everything about her, from her color scheme and ginger/break-work, to her shape and historic reverence (a subject which is no secret dear to my heart). I too wonder about the feasibility of building her in living plastic and how heavy those brick built sails would really be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sails aren't attached, are they? Thank you It is quite possible to recreate this ship in bricks. There are no canvas in LDD, so I used common plates for sails - they are hanging of course) Everything else is attached.

Nice to meet a connoisseur of such rare ships like xebec. The brick built sails are fabric alternative, just because unfortunately there are no fabric in LDD.

Capn Frank Posted February 3, 2015 No, I just have no idea how to post lxf files Are you able to email the file? I'll post the lxf file for this ship. Or you could use a free cloud service like dropbox. It's the best Xebec I've seen, and much better than anything I've built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then, go to the plus sign, hit "upload files", and navigate to the LXFs! If you are willing to share LXFs, I would love the LXF of this model. Or this model: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=103561 I've never done this before in the forum, but theoretically it should work. Here's the LXF file for download. It works!
