LittleJohn Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) This was my first time building a ship and I'm quite pleased with the result: More pics here: Link Let me know what you think, all C&C appreciated Edited March 10, 2015 by LittleJohn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurigan Posted March 10, 2015 Awesome. Obviously the brick built sails are neat, always are. I see a lot of little subtleties that really sell this too.I really like the broken up ship but I wonder what that sailor bailing water thinks he's achieving at this point :D Thanks for sharing!

Kolonialbeamter Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah, cool battle! Great details, vivid scene, the sails are my favorite. The ship itself still lacks some 'shipyness', but as a first ship MOC it's real good. Keep it up! Best regards, KB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 10, 2015 I like the overall scene, the brick-built sails and your crew. However, a ship like this would need a second mast. And a very difficult thing is to have a decent cabin for the captain, but to not let it get to bulky at the same time. If we could see more of the half-sunken ship, perhaps?

kurigan Posted March 10, 2015 a ship like this would need a second mast. I just assumed t had gotten shot (and cleared) away in the action...:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robin Creations Posted March 11, 2015 As usual, great job! I like how the sinking ship turned out. Too bad that blue pin is showing, I think it would look better with gray ones like the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Wellington Posted March 13, 2015 This is a great MOC. You sure taught those pirates. Both ships are amazing, and I'd say this is pretty good for your first ship. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
