LM71Blackbird Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) 134-gun First-rate Ship-of-the-Line "HMS Resilience" HMS Resilience 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr The HMS Resilience is the newest ship from the Quinnsville Shipyards! Crafted from the finest timbers and meticulously built, the HMS Resilience proudly sails the Brick Seas under the Corrington flag as the most powerful and heavily armed ship ever launched. Spanning a total of 4 decks, she has a outstanding 134 cannons. One broadside would be enough to render almost any ship inoperable. Like her little sister the HMS Dominance, she has a mortar deck for besieging settlements or helping with jungle riot control if need be. She has a spacious cargo hold and a sizable magazine, so she can stay at sea for many months. It will be a little while before she is put into full commission, but when the time comes, the enemies of Corrington will tremble in their inferior vessels! HMS Resilience 2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr HMS Resilience 3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr HMS Resilience 4 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr HMS Resilience 5 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr ------------------------------ Some details about the build: 8873 parts in total. length at waterline is 146 studs, LOA 230 studs. each broadside fires a whooping 67 guns. I've always wanted to build a huge ship like this for years. Many thanks to @Bregir and @Legostone for helping me out with tips and techniques with my ships that helped me create this behemoth! I think I have improved a lot in shipbuilding since my first post. C&C are welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking!

Bart Posted June 23, 2018 WOW, upscalling like this really suits your building style! I wouldn't want to open the first gunport near the bow, in any sort of weather though. and bombardment guns on the cabintop deck? aka the most lightly build deck. It truly is a floatign fortress, I doubt any ship sailing the brick seas (at the moment) is capable of taking her on. planning on licensing her? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only ship I can think of that would be a fair match would be @Kolonialbeamter's class 10 "The Royal Philip". Other then that, I think she's safe from harms way! Yeah, I plan on licensing her. It may take a couple of months, but I want to launch both my class 10s before to long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darnok Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Sheesh, what a beast! Great work though, it looks excellent. Any chance we can get a few seperate builds representing the interior? In the real world, ships of this size rarely saw battle, if at all. The needed extremely quiet waters, or the lowest gundeck would be flooded. They were built for prestige, not for battle. It is only appropriate that the most important nation has on of these! All hail the Queen! Edited June 23, 2018 by Drunknok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As time goes on I'll definitely do some builds of the interior. As stated elsewhere, I have a few plans for the challenge that will most likely involve this ship. Well, right now as the combat systems stands, when I license her, I think she'll see some action! This ship further solidifies our position on the seas and yes, All hail the Queen!

Flavius Gratian Posted June 24, 2018 Very impressive work! She even looks larger than Royal Philip, since Dominance have more cannons I guess she must be. Very well done! My only criticism would be that the spanker is far to high up on the mizzen, so it looks a bit strange. I understand you want to fit the naval jack and the lanterns but I think that could easily be solved by angling the boom upwards. From the look of it I would say that the jack can also be angled a bit more to give room, otherwise you could fastned it to the spanker, which was also very common. See my Lady Belson for both the angled boom and attached flag. Secondly you might want to remove the support pieces on the back of the sails; it just looks a bit better that way. But these are minor things compared to the tremendous work you've accomplished! You have really improved! Long live the Queen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The currently available classes end at 8, so I guess we have to wait a bit for that. This one is a class 10, no doubts about it - those do not have full rules yet. Please ignore this!

Yeah, I noticed the support pieces on the sails after i was looking back at my renders... i was going to put the flag on the spanner, but I was looking at some ships, and I noticed it could be one or the other... I toy around with it on my next ship though.

Really? I didn't even realize that... the Royal Philip is the only currently licensed class 10, so I just assumed it was possible... in the ships page, it does have a few guidelines when licensing a class 10.

As a rule of thumb you could say that when a ship is sailing the ensign is on the gaff of the spanker, when in port or anchored its on a flagpole on the stern. the flagpole is removed when sailing so the spanker boom can move port to starboard and back. I say rule of thumb, as there are exemptions due to ship type and how the sails are carried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roadmonkeytj Posted June 27, 2018 I really like the shrouds on this one ... I tend to only see mortars on the bow or midsections of ships though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that was a design element that probably won't be added to another ship of this size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
