My Second MOC - A work in progress

[CaptSteve]

So this is what I have done on my second MOC so far, waiting on some bricks so I can get going on the rest of it. Its going to be 8 hull sections long with a 20 or 18 cannon broadside. It will have one gun deck and a top deck. I plan on having the center of the top deck open to give a view of the gun deck below and to access the small cargo hold I'm going to build below that. The stern of this ship contains an officers mess on the gun deck level and then two officer cabins and the captains cabin above that. That captains cabin comes complete with an organ, an idea I stole from the new Imperial Flagship kit. The poop deck has the helm and also three hatches that swing open to give you access to the cabins below. Let me know what you think

Capt Steve, please deeplink your photos so that we can see them. This link will lead you to a tutorial about how to do it. This link will lead you to a list of all the tutorials available.

Looking good!

Could you please resize your pictures to a maximum of 800 x 600? right now they're over 200 pixels, which can take a while to load. Thanks!

A very beautiful ship so far mate, can't wait to see how she turns out!

[Captain Blackmoor]

You've made a great ship already, I like the tumblehome and the overall look of it.

The stern looks great, but it's quite high too.

I keep an eye on this thread, since it looks quite promising!

Keep it up!

[Captain Becker]

great start CaptSteve i think at the ship stern is too high indeed like Cpt. Blackmoore said. Keep it up mate, i will keep this on eye

Here's a quick fix I did on the stern, will probably change it again, any suggestions anyone, I also included a close up pic of the helm and the stairs leading up to it, the double doors between the stairs lead to a little hallway with 3 doors that open into the 2 officers cabins and the captains cabin.

Since you have such a large stern, you'll want the foremast to be quite a ways forward. As well you ought to move the main mast forward a couple studs to give more room for the mizzenmast.

[CaptSteve]

How is this for the mast placement?

[Captain Becker]

At me those mast are quite right place, you are doing great, keep it up mate, keep it up.

That is just awesome, man! I can't wait to see it finished!

[Captain Blackmoor]

Mast placement is ideal! Your stern has improved a lot, and it fits nice with the ship's line now.

The mast length looks good too, and so does the bow.

Keep it up!

[CaptSteve]

Major Constructions are now complete, now I just need to do some detailing, as well as the rigging and any other outfitting, below are shots of the interior of the captains cabin as well as the cargo hold located below the gun deck.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to build a large anchor, i have the lego anchor but i think its to small. I'm also looking for any suggestions I can get concerning the sail plan.

Thanks all.

[Captain Becker]

Looks nice at me , about the anchor, i guess at that LEGO anchor would be a bit too small indeed but havent no idea how to build it in LEGO`s . But the ship what you are building is looking good at this point. Keep it up

Admiral Bejuane's Sang Royale has a nice anchor...
