fred67 Posted May 28, 2011 113B DSCF0771 by FredJH, on Flickr DSCF0770 by FredJH, on Flickr Not much to say about it... I've already done a few revisions - made the sails more "billowy," did the masts with bars in them to both make them more sturdy and have something to attach the flags to... I would like to get a red stripe under the deck with the cannons, but unbelievably I have like 10 red right wedge plates of that size, and NO lefts (??? must have been a bulk buy).

Captain Green Hair Posted May 28, 2011 Not bad at all, I love the small detail and the elaborate sails! I do think you could make her slightly wider in the middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corioso Posted May 31, 2011 I think you can to continue the build this little ships! It looks pretty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Yogi Posted May 31, 2011 That looks really cool, and very detailed for its size. I feel the front slope is a little early IMO. Great job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted May 31, 2011 That is a very clever little MOC. I'll move this to the MOCs forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fred67 Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it. I noticed when I was building it that it was too thin; it's hard to see in all black, but on the bottom, from about midway to the back, uses these: Which lets it taper slightly towards the back. I simply don't see how, using a straightforward building technique, to make it fatter in the mid section. I'm also not particularly happy with the front, either. It probably does slope too steeply, and the piece on front is not what I intended, but I didn't have the piece I wanted in black. I will definitely be modifying this ship and will post the results... just placed a BL order, but haven't even been invoiced yet. I may start over with a completely different technique... I just grabbed pieces and built this one; I think I will use graph paper to make sure to get the shape right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fred67 Posted September 7, 2012 I actually updated this ship shortly after posting the original here, but never got around to taking pictures. The thread asking if your ship had been indexed got me thinking I should, because I think the newer one is nicer.

soccerkid6 Posted September 7, 2012 Impressive micro ship! The sails are excellent and I like your cannons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ragnar Posted April 18, 2015 Very nice construction indeed! I'll definitely add more sails to mine now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted April 18, 2015 She has a pretty good overall form and colorscheme and I especially like those technic pin guns. The sails are nice too. Building large ships can be challenging, but building small ones like this can prove to be a good challenge as well as you have no doubt discovered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Spyro Posted July 6, 2015 I absolutely dream about the sails. The way you've kind of angled them, and built them to give the 'wind blow' effect makes it even more incredible! I should angle my sails on mine more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should angle my sails on mine more. Thanks! But if you like those, you should LOVE this one by Ragnar, I think it's outstanding - the sails are an awesome idea.

Captain Spyro Posted July 7, 2015 Ragnar's sails are tremendous! I especially like his stern as well. I just think you both have wonderful sails for a ship this scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capn Frank Posted December 15, 2015 You proved that the less a creation is, the more skillful creators can be. You're surely one of them! Please don't bump old topics with a one-lined comment. MOCs do date, but if you have something important to add then it's OK. You should review Revisiting Topic Bumping for additional guidance, which is linked in the Site Guidelines. Thank you.

Lego_Nerd98 Posted December 15, 2015 Wow, that's really cute! You should make it in brown on LDD or LDraw or something :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
