Paul cantu Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 The Yellow Jacket is the fastest imperial ship in the new world. It has one simple job: destroy all pirate vessels. With ten cannons and its smaller size, the Yellow Jacket is the bread and butter of the empire. I got really tired of looking at Brickbeard's Bounty so I decided to build another imperial ship to go along with the Empress and this is what I came up with. Please leave constructive criticism.

Admiral M Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Wow! I don't know what constructive critisism to give! What a beaut she is! That color scheme is stunning, and those printed sails! It's the best ship I've seen all day! (mostly because I have been looking at my own) Quote
Guss Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Looks very cool, I love the decoration of the rear^^ Quote
Commander Flash Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Very impressive parts make the ship great. The flowers, the color scheme, the sail, and the rear. Nice job! Quote
General Armendariz Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Nice ship! this has many details in it including the piano Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Ah a pirate destroyer! That's exactly what we need in those times... I like the colours! They are very nice. I also like the detailed stern, and the piano in the cabin. The custom sails are also very nice. The bow could use some more work, it is a bit bare. I think this ship will be feared by the pirates, and loved by the Imperials. Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Great ship! For a smaller ship you managed to pack a lot of nice little details into her. The piano ofcourse is wonderful but the color scheme and name are both really great. Quote
Tom Bricks Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Great job. This is one of my favorite MOC ships i have seen. It's not too big so it fits well with the others too. The custom sails look great too. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 This is a fine ship, nice colours, and I really like the sails (or to be more specific: the custom-made prints on the sails). The gundeck is a bit too crowded, but it's just a small ship so yo can't do much against it. There might be some things that are different from real ships, but that's not a big point, this is just a real classic lego ship Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Nicely done! If my memory serves me, isn't yellow jacket what British regulars called naval ships? Quote

There might be some things that are different from real ships, but that's not a big point, this is just a real classic lego ship Thanks. I actually drew the sails myself. I like building my ships with some realistic details but most of the detail comes off the top of my head. I don't like building historically accurate ships because so many people already do that and after a while most ships lose that creative touch that makes them unique. Nicely done! If my memory serves me, isn't yellow jacket what British regulars called naval ships? Thanks. I have no idea if the British regulars called naval ships yellow jackets I just thought the name fit my ship. Maybe someone else would know. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I don't like building historically accurate ships because so many people already do that and after a while most ships lose that creative touch that makes them unique. You're right about that, a lego ship should be original and this one sure is The most important thing is showing your building skills and that's also very good possible with a ship like this. Quote
StoneW4 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Like your ship, especially the stern, the sails and the interior! I also go along with your opinion! Individual details which are not historical make the vessel to something special and unique! Thats your signature!!! Quote
gondortoast Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 i like it its very good bread and butter? oh great now i want a sandwich Quote
commander Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 i like the way the cabin looks, interior and exterior. can you give me instructions for the piano? Quote
Paul cantu Posted June 30, 2009 Author Posted June 30, 2009 i like the way the cabin looks, interior and exterior. can you give me instructions for the piano? I guess I'll post a few pictures later today or tommorow. Quote
commander Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I guess I'll post a few pictures later today or tommorow. ok, great! i'd love to see them. Quote
Paul cantu Posted July 1, 2009 Author Posted July 1, 2009 Here are the piano pictures. I hope you can see how I built it from these pictures. Quote
Admiral M Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Nice piano! I'm sure I have a place for the design SOMEWHERE in Port St. Brick. Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I was thinking on building an elegant building sometime, and I also think I'd defenitely use a piano like this in it. Thanks for the pictures! The piano is very creative. Quote
Admiral M Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 If you had a cathedral or church, you could extend it, add another keyboard, and add yellow 1x1 "cannonball" bricks behind it (like tubes). Quote
Ratshot Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Nice ship Paul Cantu. I like the color scheme a lot. Nice job Quote
