[Captain Blue Hair]

45c

Here she is, by popular demand!

She was designed after this ship:


From the side:


The stern:



And a birdseye:

She has a big cargo space and 6 cannons to defend it from pirates:

The cargo space holds mr. Tibers weird contraptions ofcourse:


More pictures can be seen here, enjoy!

I think this may be the best built Xebec on EB *wub*
It looks great!
Very proportional and good job following the pic. *y*

I hope you're eventually going to show your models at a convention. *sweet*
It'd be awesome to see your ships in person. :'-)

I agree with phred.

I love this ship *wub*
The way you caught the shape and curve is impressive.
I'm looking forward to your future creations captain X-D

[Asuka]

What a wonderful ship, with an excellent rigging and very fine sails and a great color scheme, especially these
brown stripes´re marvelous. The whole back section looks very impressive and works well with the elegant lines
and the smooth shape of your plain beautiful creation. :'-)

It would be great if we could get more of these stunning Pirate MOCs into conventions, but obviously that poses some logistical problems, especially considering Mr Tiber is in Europe and Phred in USA.

Nonetheless, I think it'll make the frontpage of Classic-Pirates.com in the very near future. The frontpage is like a convention X-D

Yeah! I don't know what that means, but I agree! *sweet*

She's a beauty, Captain Green Hair! Excellent work. If LEGO starts anothe Pirate line I hope we get cool ships like this that will appeal more to AFOLs than to 4+ dorks. :-P No offense to the 4+ crowd, really, you're great. But I appreciate your work so much Green Hair. I would like to see your smarty brain tackle some of the ornamental detail on the stern and the railings. But, you're my ship-building mentor and I can't wait to show off the ship you've helped me out with. X-D Oh man, I didn't even mean to shamelessly self-promote and I did anyway. It's a disease... :'-(

[Mister Phes]

Wait a minute! I'm having a moment of confusion.

Was The Telesell built by Mr Tiber or Captain Green Hair?

[Joey Lock]

Finally!
Its awesome!

I like the way the fence thingy is smoothed and curved. *sweet*

I am lucky enough to be the captain, but I didn't build it. :-P

Oh yes, very awesome ship. I fully agree with the others, it's the best built Xebec I've ever seen.
Very wonderful *wub*

After reading the title of this topic I thought for a moment you started your own Telsell business.... Wondering what the connection with Lego could have been I read the title again and noticed the extra 'e' in between tel and sell.... X-D

Now to the ship:

This ship is perfect in every way, it takes some real skills building something from a non-legomodel like that miniature ship used with all it's complex curves and lines.

Marvelous!

Well I'll say a big Homer Simpson DOH to that because I always though you built it, which made me wonder why Captain Green Hair said he'd post it

Anyway, I'll go get 40 winks then come back and constructively criticise this wonderful creation.

[Captain Blue Hair]

Thanks for all your nice comments mateys! :'-)

Íf you read our comic, the name will become clear Simon ;-)

[Bonaparte]

What can I say about this ship? It's beautiful!

There's nothing I don't love about it. For me this is an absolute masterpiece.
It's shape looks just right, the colors are perfect, sails look wonderful, the entire design is refreshing and original.

Don't tell this to anyone captain, but you are my favorite shipbuilder.

[Tanotrooper]

She's beautiful! Fantastic work!

TT

[dukeschunke]

I agree with everyone in that this is a marvelous ship. The shape, colors, contours its all done with a keen attention to detail. I do, however, have a couple questions. Why are the cannons mounted directly to the ship? Also, why is the spacing of the cannons somewhat sporadic? There is a gap of 9 studs and then 2 studs between port holes.
