Teddy Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Dear all, since i've been reading eurobricks more often lately i would like to introduce myself. I'm an AFOL living in the Netherlands who has returned to the hobby two years ago. I realy enjoy the hobby right now and find it is very relaxing. Luckely my girlfriend is very supportive an allows me to put mocs and sets almost everywhere in our appartement. :) My friends call me teddy (it is not my real name ;) ) since they think i look like a teddy-bear. Well i wanted to show you my current work in progress. and another picture and a bit closer to the SNOT work of the bow section hopefully you like it. Kind regards, Teddy Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Great to see another Dutch guy that likes to build ships! Welcome to Eurobricks Teddy! Quote
Fluyt Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Welcome to Eurobricks That looks like it's going to be a mighty fine vessel. I really like the shape so far (looking a bit like a super-sized brick-built version of the original prefab lego hull). Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted July 2, 2008 Eurobricks Emperor Posted July 2, 2008 Wow Teddy, that's one might ship under construction. I'm happy you've joined our forum and shown us these pics of your work in progress. Please keep us up-to-date on your progress. I'm curious of what it will look like once finished. The part you've show us is more than promising. Welcome to Eurobricks! Quote
Joey Lock Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 You must be the most calm person Ive seen. Brick-building that must have caused alot of stress I tryed Brick-built hulls but it kept falling apart... Good going! Quote
BillytheKid Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Dutch were famous of their woodenship building ;) . I'm very impressed about your ship already. I'm curious what end result will be. Quote

Teddy Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Wow. Looks great! One question, will this moc be in mini fig scale? Yes, i have chosen a scale of roughly 1:39 which amounts more or less to one stud a foot Additional benefit of using one stud a foot is that old drawings are easier to read and translate into lego. :) btw. to create this hull, which is only half done, i used original plans of the HMS Victory, the brown part used to be completely submerged and is supposed to represend copper plating. Kind regards, Teddy Quote
Admiral Bejaune Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Thats impressive, if only i had the bricks to build an all brick hull. Mabe someday. Quote
Teddy Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Thats impressive, if only i had the bricks to build an all brick hull. Mabe someday. Judging from your brickshelf folder, you already build some beautiful ships! And in the 104 gun ship you already nearly have an all brick hull. :) For me collecting the bricks was a real problem. I was unaware of any color change so i was unplesently surprised when a lot in new brown was delivered. i read somewhere about bley, but it never crossed my mind they changed brown as well. I guess i was somewhat naieve in that respect. i managed to use the new brown mostly on the inside while keeping the outside in old brown as best i could. Kind regards, Teddy Quote

You found that this hobby is really relaxing? i found that it is stressful as the LEGO at my country is so expensive which can't be afford by the kids itself. By the way, enjoy your post here Edited July 3, 2008 by baby Quote
Norrington Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Welcome, Teddy. You know, I have immense respect fo anyone who has the patience to build a complete hull, because I cetainly don't. Keep up the good work. Quote
