Mr. Townsend Posted March 15 Posted March 15 This is a pretty incredible build. Well done. Looking forward to the progress. Quote
Admiral Bejaune Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Looks great. Why the arch window frames in the gunports though? Quote
TimoFunk Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Hmm... The frames hold the hinges of the hatches from below. If you want to move them, this is necessary; if you don't touch them, you can do without them. I could have made the hull one plate higher, then they could have been placed between two plates... But I'm not going to change that now. However, I tried a different solution: the frame is gone, but the gun ports are one plate lower. Left side of the stairs is the new version. It could be black or tan.... What do you think? I'm not sure... The conversion would be straightforward. Quote
Admiral Bejaune Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I wouldn’t worry about having to redesign things, the frames aren’t that bad. The ship looks great though. I’ve enjoyed the evolution of this build. Quote
TimoFunk Posted March 19 Posted March 19 (edited) @Admiral Bejaune Well, the funny thing is, when I was looking for an alternative to the frames, I noticed that the hull design still contains elements hat were originally intended to allow the entire upper deck to be lifted off. These elements prevent the hinges from being raised. I had already abandoned the idea of lifting off the decks along with the side walls. Since I definitely need to rework the lifting/removing of the decks—it doesn't work at all right now—I also have the option of doing without the frames and not changing the size of the gun ports. As you originally said: "frames - a trend that needs to be forgotten" :-) Take care! Edited March 19 by TimoFunk Quote

I read it after I posted it and it read a bit harsh. Not my intention at all. So I edited it. But yes, that is a trend that needs to be forgotten. Guess barracuda bay is to blame! Quote
Franco Clarke Posted March 22 Posted March 22 The level of detail there is superb, I agree it is worth a redesign to ensure that remains visible. Without her upper decks, she looks a lot like the 58 gun razees. Quote
Dashiell brown Posted March 30 Posted March 30 If there is instructions to this in the future, I will definitely buy them! Quote
TimoFunk Posted April 3 Posted April 3 Update.... I have now revised the part in front of the main mast. The top two decks can now be (again) removed. I have divided the upper gun deck into three parts, so it can be taken out without removing the cannons. On this occasion, I also did without the window frames at the lower gun ports, and moved the hinges up by one plate. The BrickLink order is out; I hope the build can continue after the Easter holidays. @Dashiell brown Honestly, I don't know if there will ever be a manual for L' Anubis. Firstly, I can't decide that; the idea for the ship and the basic design aren't mine, but @Supersick_'s. And secondly, revising the STUDIO file and creating a manual would be very time-consuming. I don't have much time or inclination for that. I'd rather focus on my new project(s). Sorry. Take care Timo Quote
