Ship-WIP

[Leg-godt]

Hi,

Here is my new MOC a pirate/viking ship with a brick built hull, my first foray into ship building.

Please tell me what needs improvement, what I should add, take away, etc.

Thanks for looking!

Update:

Now it is a ninja ship!

Mast looks too thick/square and I can't see any hull details.

I like your technique for the sail.

[Captain Blackmoor]

Indeed a fine looking vessel! The sail is amazing and I like the scorpion details.

I also move this to the MOC forum as it belongs there.

It is a fine looking boat. I had seen that sail technique before. Tiles instead of plates might look even better.

A cylindrical mast would be a nice touch too.

But overall, it is a very nice MOC.

The hull looks good. For the mast you should use another colour and round bricks. The sail is nice, but a little bit too small for the long mast. Take the full length of the technic flex hose. The dragon boats use always big sail as you could see on set 7018

A crew.

I would make the mast cylindrical.

Thanks for al the nice comments guys!

@everyone: the sail was a pirated idea from a beutiful merchant vessel I saw on TBB. I just changed the sail to dark grey, and made it longer.(I need more white plates!)

The mast is square because I didn't have enough 2x2 round bricks in one color to make it round.

I will soon make a bricklink order for white plates and round (what color should I use ) 2x2 bricks.

@Captain Blackmoor: Thanks for moving it, I didn't know there was a separate pirate MOC's section.

@lt.Gonville brickhead: I have a pile of pirates waiting to be put on.

Thanks everyone, I'll take pics when the guy who's camera I borrow comes back.(He's in santa barbara)

Does updating a post bump the thread?

Because it didn't here...
