Anders T Posted September 9, 2015 This is my first posting on a Eurobricks forum HMS Ontario LDD by Anders Thuesen, on Flickr Two Masts - Snow - 22A And to start me off I will post my first LDD-design. Back in 2010 It was my first attempt designing an accurate ship using LDD. It was supposed to look like the British Snow "HMS Ontario" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anders T Posted September 9, 2015 Just moving your splendid ships to the proper MOC forum He he Hope so. I'm still trying to find my way around town. Still consider myself this wrinkled weirdo with the strange geeky approach to ship-mocs I like it :) Thanks man. She was a start. Still gets a bit misty looking at her Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Wellington Posted September 9, 2015 I really like it. Especially the name, as Ontario is the name of a Canadian province, and I'm Canadian I particularly liked what you did with the bow. Looks really nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capn Frank Posted September 10, 2015 It was supposed to look like the British Snow "HMS Ontario" This vessel is definitely snow-rigged. I learned way more about different rigged vessel in the recent reorganization of the Ship Index. If you ever decide to build this vessel out of real bricks, I would recommend using the piece imaged below to provide stability between the snow mast and main mast.

Anders T Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) If you ever decide to build this vessel out of real bricks, I would recommend using the piece imaged below to provide stability between the snow mast and main mast. It is an early attempt. If I ever try to build the HMS Ontario it will be a complete redesign. I have learned so much the last couple of years, and especially my early design of masts have proven to be lacking. I would rather use this http://img.brickowl....2-695798-38.jpg or a combination of this http://img.brickowl....2-279957-38.jpg and this http://img.brickowl....2-589908-39.jpg , but the brick you suggest actually worked just fine on my "HDMS Lougen" model So thanks Edited September 10, 2015 by Anders T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Staslegomaster Posted September 14, 2015 I like your detailed keel most of all - they're usually unseen in LEGO ships. The more we learn, the more we know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Dee Posted September 21, 2015 You have truly mastered the art of hull curvature with these LDD models - especially considering all the blocky elements used to create the effect. Nice work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
