Adam Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 I wish I could see it, but I cant Seconded. And this belongs in the MOC forum. Quote
General Armendariz Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Ok now I see it! It looks great! And nice effects too But its in the wrong forum. Quote

Captain Blackmoor Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Brickshelf folders need to be moderated before they become public viewable, please wait a few hours and then see again. Nothing wrong at all. The ship looks very promising to me, I see a nice tumblehome in it, a nice bow and some cool photoshopping work. I'm eager to see more of this beauty! Quote
General Armendariz Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 You guys still cant see it? I can Boy, I wish you guys could see it! Quote
martinsuper Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 I can see it now, and I would like a side-view. You said its based loosly on the "Surprise". Is this Lucky Jack Aubry's ship? Also, it does belong in the MOC forum. Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 The HMS Surprise was Lucky Jack Aubry's ship indeed, the other one (L'Acheron) was the French 'spook' as they call it. A moderator will move this topic soon, nothing wrong. You won't die when a topic is posted in the wrong forum right? Quote
martinsuper Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 You won't die when a topic is posted in the wrong forum right? Well, I might. You know how they are about me. Quote
Guss Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 what a really cool ship, I love how the sides goes down then up, that's very cool ! Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 YaY! I can see it as well! I'm not dissappointed! I really like the white curve on the hull, it turned out quite good! The only thing I don't really like are the galleries on the cabin, they point out too much, perhaps by making the cabin slightly longer you can solve the problem. Great work on the rigging as well, the crew looks nice and all the details as well. Great job! Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted April 16, 2009 Eurobricks Emperor Posted April 16, 2009 This is a very decent ship! It's got a fine shape, cool color schema, nice and rather realistic rigging. I find also some small details (like the way the anchor is connected) to be very accurate. I was hoping to find a picture of the stern (taken from the back side of the ship) but couldn't find one in the gallery. Maybe you could still add one? The stern of the ship is one of my favorite parts and it's got a lot of possibilities for adding small details and fantasies. In summary, a fine ship! I like it at lot! Quote
Lukemax Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 thanks for all the nice words, I'll get a few more pics up soon :) Quote
Commander Laquiet Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Amazing ship - really like the stern design and colour scheme. It would be great if we could see some of the interior! Really nicely finished ship. Well done! Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 She is magnificent! Great colors and beautiful lines. Quote
keetong Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Thats a awesome ship!! I really need to get some pirate hulls. Hopefully you can add some more pics. Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Nice looking ship, i like the overall look. The colorscheme and the bow are also well done. I do think that the cabin is too big, it sticks out the sides a bit much. I also think that the wide stripe bends too much in the middle, it looks like something heavy fell on it and it got dented. Just my 2 cents. Quote
Capt. Kirk Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Nice ship with cool details (anchor, ropes, ect)... Constructive criticism --> Maybe you can make the cabin a little smaller. --> Maybe you can put some yellow accents over the ship (you have it in the front but not in the middle or the back). --> Maybe you could make the middle section straight (like Capt.Green Hair said; it looks like something heavy fell on it and it got dented). I hope to see more of you in the future. Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I think the curved white stripe should be in there, but less curved perhaps. The sail at the back (don't know the English term) should be placed a bit lower. The yellow accent in the front looks great, but I suggest to add some yellow bits in the stern as well, the midsection looks great this way. The main mast could do with some more height. Another few suggestions! Quote
martinsuper Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Quick question, how many center sections did you use? Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I believe 5 of them, that almost matches my ship! Help! Quote
General Armendariz Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I believe 5 of them Yeah thats what I counted, and make sure you put more yellow in it, thats to white for me Quote
