[WIP] “L’Anubis” - 3rd Rate Ship of the Line

[TimoFunk]

Hello @Supersick_,
I wanted to politely inquire about the progress on L'Anubis.
I am very curious how she looks at the moment and I very much hope that building the L'Anubis will be my autumn project :-)

Thank you for your great work!
Take care
Timo

Hello Supersick,

A lot  of people do love your work a lot! While we were children, we were dreaming to build a ship of the line like this one.

Consequently, how are you getting on with this development? Any chance it will be finished soon :)?

I am longing for finally being able to build this ship!

Thanks for everything and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Felix

Hello friends of L'Anubis!

Some of you are eagerly awaiting news about the progress of the L'Anubis project.
Well, I have good and bad news for you.
Let's start with the bad news - unfortunately L'Anubis is not ready to leave the shipyard yet.
The good news is that the project has not been abandoned!

Unfortunately, @Supersick_ is really busy at work at the moment and therefore has very little
time to take care of L'Anubis.
But every great Master Shipbuilder needs an assistant :-)

And that's my job now.

I started implementing the changes that @Supersick_ wanted to make to L'Anubis.
She has grown in all dimensions so that she fits better with Fer Maiden and Supernaut.
At the same time, I adopted the building technique of Supernaut for L'Anubis, but tried not to change
the original design too much.

So I'm going to create the rough diamond that @Supersick_ can then turn into a jewel.
That is the plan.

I look forward to every comment from you, whether agreement or criticism. Everything helps me to get better
and there is still a lot of room for improvement :-)

The bow section is almost done...

Great news, looking forward to building this beauty! Thanks a lot for your work!

[TimoFunk]

Yay, I'm making progress.
She's slowly starting to look like a ship again.
I lengthened the poop deck a bit and made some changes to the stern gallery.
The decks are not finished yet, and the masts also need some attention.

But things are moving forward...

Take care!

Wow, that looks fantastic already

[GeoBrick]

Looking marvelous already.

Out of curiosity, how much headspace is there between the gundecks? 4 bricks high? A little less?

[TimoFunk]

Hi @GeoBrick,
the height of the lower and upper gun deck between the deck beams is 3 2/3 bricks.
A figure cannot stand upright and should definitely took off its hat ;-)
Probably the height between the weather deck and the poop deck will be 4 bricks at the wheels
and 4 2/3 at the stern gallery.

Hi guys,
here are the latest updates on L'Anubis progress.
I have now completed everything on my side so that the ship can leave the dry dock and be moved to the equipment quay.

I hope that @Supersick_ will turn the beautiful thing into a real masterpiece as soon as he has the time to do it.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to invest much time in the project in the future because my professional situation is changing.

Nevertheless, I will try to build her in her current form. However, this will take some time due to the approx. 7500 parts.

The missing lower half of the hull bothers me a bit...  maybe I'll be able to finish it at some point.

Take care
Timo

I know it has been over a year, but any chance of this project being finished?

[TimoFunk]

Hello Nimitstexan,

the project is unfortunately progressing a bit slowly.
A lot has changed professionally, and I now have less time than I would like to dedicate to L'Anubis.
I 've changed the color scheme and in my opinion, the hull and the rigging are finished; I think I won’t be making any more changes there.
I’ve started designing the interior, but I’m not really satisfied with it yet.
Unfortunately, the cost of the parts is high, so at least for now, I won’t be able to build L'Anubis with actual bricks.
So, there are indeed some updates to report, but unfortunately, nothing major.

She's a fine looking ship, the quarter galleries are especially well realised. how sturdy do think it'll be with the interior detail?

[TimoFunk]

Well, I think she will be quite sturdy with the interior.
The only concerns I have regarding her stability relate to the half-stud offsets in the hull.
I'm not so sure how that will hold up under the full weight when it's built with real bricks.
A nice feature would be to split the hull, like on the HMS Supernaut.

[TimoFunk]

Hello everyone, there’s good news about the L'Anubis project!
It’s always bothered me that the ship looked kind of unfinished without a lower hull, so I finally decided to do something about it :-)

Now it’s finished... well, almost.
I really like the front section — that’s definitely staying as it is. I’d still consider the rear part a work in progress, though there probably won’t be any major changes.

I still have quite a few ideas and improvements in mind for certain areas,
but for now, I’m going to start buying the bricks :-)

I’m really excited to start building it!

Take care
Timo

Great work so far! Congratulations! I'm following with interest.
