Admiral M Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Hello all! I have begun work on a HUGE ship on LDD. It will have 3 masts, 2 decks, and over 30 guns. I am not sure if I will build this in real life (I can't afford it) but I will try to build it on LDD Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Good luck. Don't let your eyes pop out of your head staring at the computer too long. Can't wait to see it. Quote
Admiral M Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 Update! Work has begun on the bow slopes: the central hull has been completed: Quote
Admiral M Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Sorry for the double post, I had an error... I didn't err! Edited May 6, 2009 by Admiral M Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Looking extraordinary good Admiral! It looks like you have a ship to sail soon! The work on the bow is nice, it has a nice shape and the colours are good. May I recommend to use coloured stripes on the hull between the gundecks instead of plain black? Good luck finishing her, you've done a huge part already! Quote
Hound Knight Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 It looks great M! I've never gotten the hang of building in LDD, but it seems that you have. Quote
Admiral M Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 Thanks, friend, I guess I'm all right : and i'm not even that good! time for another update! here, I finished the bow. I tried a lower bow, just for the heck of it, and it turned out great! AND I added railings (God bless Captian Caravino, railings are so damn hard!) Quote
Capt. Kirk Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Isn't it possible to show bigger pictures ? By the way... good luck and nice build. Quote
Natman8000 Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Looks great so far! If this is LDD, how much does it cost so far? Quote
Joey Lock Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Looking extraordinary good Admiral!

May I recommend to use coloured stripes on the hull between the gundecks instead of plain black? Good luck finishing her, you've done a huge part already! In LDD you can only choose, Red, Black, White, Tan slopes. No Gold, Thats why its hard for me to visual my LDD HMS Unicorn. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Looks very good, I especially like the view from the front, that looks perfect. Maybe you can make the ship a bit longer, it's quite short and high now, but you decide. I like it Quote
Admiral M Posted May 9, 2009 Author Posted May 9, 2009 Thanks for compliments and critisisms, guys! You make me feel so wanted . I worked a bit on the stern, and I also enlongated a bit. I'd post pictures, but I need to do work. Quote
Admiral M Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 It is time for updatation on my progression (whatever that means ) The ship is near ready to launch! outside is complete! The stern needs more detail...and yellow...but i'll take care of that later: Lets start with an overall shot: Semi-Aerial, shows bow: Bird's Eye: Stern: With my last LDD ship: A finishing shot: Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Nice ship Admiral! I love the stern! A suggestion though: I would add a brown stripe through the thick black line to break the plain colour and to add a border between the gundecks. Great work on this ship Admiral, keep it up! Quote
commander Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 the masts are currently made of 2x2 cylinders, i suppose? Quote
Admiral M Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 On blackmoor's comment: yes, that is what I wanted to do, but removing half the ship is impossible. so I can't unless I really wanted to rebuild the ship from the midline up (and I don't). I agree that it would look better, but I just can't. On Commander's comment: no, they are made out of 2x2x3 pillars, they are just there to show where the masts will go. Quote
Admiral M Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks- I've decided on a name for the ship- the HMS Colossus Quote
commander Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) how will you make the yardarms? i have a ldd ship i am working on, and i can't figure it out....... Edited June 26, 2009 by commander Quote

With a more realistic stern and SNOT sides, she'll be more affordable and more realistic. Wish me luck on the giant new project to 100% improve my ship -donations accepted- Quote

Admiral M Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 Thanks! I began to rebuild the hull and the bow, but then I had to completely redesign it. So HMS Colossus shall remain as is, and my current project is the HMS Conquest. Quote
