Captain Blackmoor Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Hello there mateys! Recently I have been planning to start working on a new ship, it has no name yet but I have some ideas already. First I needed some help to start with the project. Those guys will be the first crewmembers for the new ship, except one. The lightning is horrible but it are the minifigs who need attention. From the left to the right: The all new British Admiral, my foe in the future. :pir-skull: A new crewmember who refuses to show his name public, some guys are hunting for him. Another brave sailor ready for my vessel! The new master gunner for the ship, unfortunately he has to wait till the ship is finished. And as final touch I've given my sigfig an update! I was planning to do it on my birthday but I was kinda busy that day. Captain Blackmoor has a new suit and another (yet to be done) hat. The colour on his suit isn't the same as the cuffs but I will change that soon! "Where are you looking at? Get back to your station and wait for my order!" "I feel uncomfortable in this environment!" "What did he say there? May I keelhaul him?" "Soon or late we'll get our chance to do that, I promise!" Thanks for watching! More pictures on Brickshelf. When public of course. Quote
General Armendariz Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Nice new customs, I look forward to seeing your ship mate. Great new sig fig I'll put the decals on for your sig at my house. I wouldn't want to be the British man either! Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 4, 2009 Author Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks my friend! I'm glad you like it. The torso's can be found here and in the Torso Library. All of them can be recoloured to get more torso's. I'm curious as well how my next ship will turn out. Some secrets revealed: It will be a fourth or fifth class ship with 2 gundecks, which is larger then the Formidable. It will be about 8 midsections long and it will have the Nelson coloursheme. (black and yellow) Of course those are just plans since I need heaps of time and money to start. And they are always the things you do not have. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Great costumes indeed! Somehow it's like I've seen them before..never mind. Can you share some of your ideas with us? Or does it all have to be a surprise? Is it going to be for the redcoats or the blue coats? I'm waiting for an answer that satisfies(?) me Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 4, 2009 Author Posted May 4, 2009 The ship will sail under the Bluecoat flag, since we have to update the Bluecoat fleet to be able to beat the everlasting Redcoat threat. This ship will be a secret except for it's size so everybody can imagine what it will be. No worries! We shall discuss this ship in other places, as well for your ship soon. I got some awesome ideas from the book you gave me for my birthday. Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Some fine additions to your crews! They all look terrific. Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 4, 2009 Author Posted May 4, 2009 I'm planning to make every crewmember on my new ship with decals. Probably 20 of them. There will be normal Bluecoats to protect the ship and sharpshooting from the crowsnests along with the custom crewmembers, they will fill up the gundecks. I'm thinking about the Le Formidable with it's 10 crewmembers, shall I replace them with customs as well? I am beginning to like minifig customization! Quote
Hound Knight Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Those are some nice custom figures Cap'n! May I ask why the British admiral has a red uniform? Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 I'm planning to use the man for admiral or general on the Redcoats side. I know a red British Admiral is not realistic but it can be used for general, and then it is realistic. My blue men represent the French and the red the British. More custom minifigs in the future! Quote
Hound Knight Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 H'm, I see. That way you don't get your British naval officers mixed in with your French troops, eh? Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 Exactly! We won't let THAT happen, do we? The only problem I have is my printer, the yellow cardridge is empty so the colours are different when I print my decals. Once that's fixed I will make more of them. Quote

The only problem I have is my printer, the yellow cardridge is empty so the colours are different when I print my decals. Once that's fixed I will make more of them. We certainly cannot, 'twould be dreadful! I think you did a great job matching the colors, I seem to have trouble with that... especially dk blue. Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 I agree the colours were a success, but the French Admiral (me) not really. My own printer has a shortage on yellow ink so I was forced to use my friends printer. My printer is somewhat more accurate in the sharpness of the details but they are good this way I think. I've used the colour palette shown on the images here. Quote
Admiral M Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Nice customs! I especially like your admiral design, I may steal it if my sigfig doesn't like his current decal Good luck with your ship. It looks as if i'll be competing with you for a double decked, 3 masted, 30+ cannon ship Edited May 6, 2009 by Admiral M Quote
