Firefighter 211 Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I am attempting to build an imperial ship for my red coats. I am currently stuck on building up the back of the ship without a molded piece. Any tips? Quote
Captain Becker Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Try designing first in Digital Lego, and look for inspiration from offical Lego sets and other peoples MOCs. Goodluck whit it! Captain Charles J. Becker Quote
Firefighter 211 Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 Sadly, I have tried to design it on a digital editor. However, My computer won't run it properly. Thanks for the help though! Quote
thewatchman Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Your best option is to look at the instructions for “non molded” backed ships already made. The black pearl and the barracuda bay ships both don’t use a back piece for them. Raised arches of various heights are good for giving the illusion of “more of the ship under the water” and you can choose how much of the rudder you want visible with this method, Quote

Probably the ugliest Lego pirate ship made. Quote

Personally I love the much higher arches, looks far better and creates a better “platform” to build the sterncastle on. Quote

Barracuda has the best ship "butt" of any ship Lego has ever made))) Quote
