Came out well for my first proper ship, I think :pir-wub:
Of course, Captain Greenhair must be acknowledged for the tumblehome, sails and rigging ideas :pir-wink:

That time will come, one day you'll see, when we can all be friends

Very Nice! I like the Cannon Bow Ring connector. Its like they can slide the cannons along, Like fire pumps!

It's a nice shape with the Curvy stern and the cartoonised shape! It looks very much like nicked Navy vessel. :pir_laugh2:

Excellent! A true pirate brig, love the colors and the sails! Oh and of course the tiled deck! Great job, does it have a cabin??

That is just an epic vessel! I'm very impressed! :thumbup:
Both her shapes and rigging is perfect, as well for the details. I think the bow is a bit low, but the stern is a piece of art.

And of course:

You did indeed! This is an awesome ship! I really like your sails and the tiled deck is great as well.
The sides of the ship are full of nice (coloured-)details.
If you want to improve it, I think you could lower the spanker sail a bit (so the top yard is on the same level as the crow's nest), and turn the lifeboat 180 degrees.
For the rest I think nothing should be done about it, it's a perfect MOC :thumbup:
Hm... I see I was too late to blog it :pir-sceptic:

Very nice ship SlyOwl. The curves on it look really good and so do the tiled deck and the custom sails. I also like the use of technic pieces in the rigging.

Beautiful work! Very unique in it's design, yet very realistic as well! The Best Brig I've ever seen. It wouldn't happen to have an interior would it?

Brilliant work SlyOwl. Your use of colors here is great. I really like how you've used yellow throughout this creation.

A beauty of a ship Sly! I love your work on the custom cannon, and the sails just came out perfectly :pir_laugh2: I'm going to have to get to work on my sister ship schooners soon...so many people churning out excellent ships to compete with 'em :pir-tongue:

Fantastic MOC SlyOwl! There are very few things I don't like about it. Your lines are clean, your rigging is supurb (although you cheated and didn't tie the ratlines) and your colours are brilliant. But some things to think about:
  • The spanker sits to high on the main mast.
  • The spritsail is too far forward on the bow sprit, and it would only have a lower yard if it had a second spritsail, else it would just be held in place by rope.
  • The catheads are too small, and too low. Perhaps try extending them out and bringing them up a little.
  • Try adding a second vertical part on each side of the headrails.
Other than that, I think it's brilliant! And she certainly has some bad-ass cannons on board! What is the piece holding the lantern up above the helm?

Brickvention 2010 was fantastic, looking forward to 2011!
