Garmadon Posted June 8, 2017 An Eslandolan privateer sails a bit too close to the volatile Gunpowder Island... Just a small vig using this ship which I had sitting around on my desk for a few days. I had been fiddling around and trying to make the smallest microship possible when Kai mentioned that she'd seen someone do something of the kind with a pair of epaulets, and, voilà, here you go! Credit for inspiration goes to whoever it was that thought of that first, haha! Probably not the smallest one possible, but anyhow... Oh, and in case you were all wondering - no, this is not a buildup for the next challenge or some major story event, at least not that I know of! One more shot: Thanks for viewing, C&C are welcome!

THAT IS COOL. I never thought of building a ship like that. Am I allowed to build that? I have the peices for two mini ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted June 8, 2017 As I said on Flickr, the explosion is really good! Nice elaborate border too, although it's quite large compared to the rest of the build. Super cool micro-ship though! The colors on it look fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted June 8, 2017 Love the microship! Great use of trans-orange pieces for the explosion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted June 8, 2017 Everything is awesome and looks so lively! And the epaulet idea is excellent as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacob Nion Posted June 8, 2017 Cute! Do we actually have a gunpowder isle on the map? Sounds like a fun place to be! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostone Posted June 8, 2017 Great tiny ship! I think the first one to use it was @Sebeus I , but feel free to prove me wrong there! I can't find the pic anymore though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted June 8, 2017 Looks really cool. A pretty daring combination of pieces! I don't know if you could turn it upside down, without parts falling off , but it is really a statement of creativity. I also like the explosion a lot. Very dynamic with the antenna-piece shooting out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks mate! And certainly you may go ahead if you have the pieces! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with! 2 hours ago, Kai NRG said: As I said on Flickr, the explosion is really good!

And yes, I'm afraid the border does kind of overshadow the rest of the build, but ah well Yep, those colors are great! 1 hour ago, Jacob Nion said: Cute!

Mjazzw7 Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Thanks garmadon! But question, on that mini ship, what is the gold peice on the top of the mini ship? Is that a hook? Edited June 9, 2017 by Mjazzw7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted June 9, 2017 Fine ship and explosion! A bit large though, as a set. Could you make it smaller? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it is a hook - somewhat tricky to get attached, but fairly sturdy after that (more sturdy than the rest of the ship, at least! ) If you've got a golden hand that works well to, as per the ship seen here (two hands, no hook)! 11 hours ago, Captain Braunsfeld said: Fine ship and explosion!

TitusV Posted June 15, 2017 Very nice build Garmadon! The explosion is great (excellent use of these antennes), as is the ship. I'm not completely sold on the base though. It looks fine and would defenitely work on a bigger base, but here... I think it may be a bit too large for a micro-scale build. Anyway, that's just a minor detail. Nice job!
