[MOC] Armada Flagship: San Fernando

[Third Navigator]

Ahoy!

Finally my 10-month project is over! And it also the biggest thing I have ever done on my own.

Over 4700 pieces were used and I tried to insert interiors in as many spaces as possible.

So minifigs can explore all spaces of the ship through her passageway.

 

 

 

 

This 1/4master looks very nervous... It looks like he is hoping the master on his left side will go down to the cabin lol.

 

Exterior details of bow, f'cle, masts, winch, derrick, capston, midship, Quarterdeck, stern.

 

The pictures below are interiors. including officers' cabin, amory, office, galley, gundeck, residential area for crew.

 

Lastly, she had 16 big cannons, 16 middle-size cannon, 10 small-size guns.

Thank you!

Impressive colours! I love how much detail ye put on this vessel. Good job! 

[Justsomebrix]

Love it! It's a really creative ship that fits perfectly in the lego pirate universe

[Feuer Zug]

Wicked ship. Great build with lots of details all around. I really like the map in the captain's quarters.

Yes. It is obvious that cap'n redbeard of dark shark will be afraid of this ship. Thank you!

Thank you. That place would be meaningless without the map lacoted there. And it also hides the existence of a secret chamber!

[Fraunces]

Amazing ship I love everything about it.  So much to see!

[Sebeus I]

Lovely ship, you don't see a lot of four-masters around. Excellen colour scheme.

The angled windows on the lower stern seem a bit off, not sure what it is. What are those white boxes on the sides?

Congrat-ye-lations!  Your plans have come into fruition so thank ye for sharing the fruits of your labour in the LEGO Pirate Forum!

But what be the name of your Armada Flagship?

As a side note, did ye know the official Armada Flagship set is actually named the "Santa Cruz"?

[NOD]

A very beautiful galleon!  I like the different colors and decorations, it all fits together well. The ship decks are built with many details.

Thank you. You meant that those white columns? They are decorations inspired by Silent Mary.

4 in bow and st'bd are, as you can see, gunforts. and 2 in quarter are Just decorations.

They might look wierd. Understand

I made her name-plate at that time and I completly forgot it before you comment!

Her name is San Fernando

 

And the set 6280's name was Santa cruz... I didn't know it. Is that the name given by the LEGO germany branch?

It reminds me of various localized nicknames that were made at that time. The set 6285 was 'Black seas barracuda' and 'Dark shark' and 'Caribbean treasure ship'!

It's always fun to find such lore. Thanks for your comment.

It is an honor to hear that from you! Thanks.

 

[Jeff of Clubs]

Tremendous!

[Marooned Marin]

Truly a wonderful MOC with so many great curves, lines and numerous little details which all deserve closer inspection.

In other word, it is GREAT, and well done

[yanwilma]

 

beautiful moc, the colors stand out beautifully. built with an eye for detail, so there is a lot to see and it has come into its own. congratulations

[Guix]

Excuse-me, is it possible to have a better view of how you did the Green/White (45° angle pieces) wall ? 

I really love that idea. The colors mix of your ship is so cool !

Her 'color mix' would not have been achieved without many EB posts. thank you.

About the pattern, It's just a simple trick you can easily copy and It Just Works! Also there is a little more process in my flicker(profile-website) to build this ship.

[Guix]

Wow ! Perfect !

Thanks a lot for this pattern. I really like the way it looks

[bingowaldorf]

This looks so good! I love all the interior details.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

I like this very much. Great colours, great design!

Congratulations!

[MAP Tec]

Beautiful

[Professor Thaum]

Very inspired... (Silent Mary ? )

and that color scheme is cool.

I love the turrets, but your stern is the standout, what a shape !

[Mayoman18]

Do you plan on posting instructions to bricklink or rebrickable?

Did you saw interior detail? thanks! I think inner details are for those who want to see them.

Yes. For me, the set(or ship) Silent Mary was my savior when I was struggling with the awkward parts, especially port and stb'd bow, because there are no space for cannons. and, at the same time, the 'stern' had been bothering me for days too!

Oh not yet... Sorry.

I think over 3k pieces mocs are.. inappropirate for doing such thing. there are good mocs to buy and build like Fer-Maiden. she is light and cool ship.
