Roadmonkeytj Posted October 12, 2018 Before you begin the basic design of the hull is not mine. I watched a time lapse video on MOC Bricks youtube channel and decided I wanted a ship of this fashion. I tried to stay true to the basic design but I had to make major changes both to account for 1) LDD does not like the placement of certain bricks and 2) My ship is considerably shorter and 3)The shrouds are not string rigged as they had done in the video. Also a special Thanks to @kaiju for not only the name of the ship but the push to finish three ships before next turn. The figure head kept rendering improperly so here's a snapshot: This render was done before it was named and I felt the figurehead was not befitting the name so I changed it to the above snapshot instead I do plan to build this in actual brick although it will be several months before I order the brick as I have three trains I need to get build before December lol. I'm not sure yet if I will be able to keep the Teal but I'm hoping! Comments and Criticism welcomed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Fisher Posted October 12, 2018 I like this one best out of the three. Great little tub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Thaum Posted October 12, 2018 I really want to see it in real bricks, seems to be a good one. I like the design. Beware to the azur blue bricks, some might be really expensives and I'm not sure you will find the right curves and slopes with that color. How did you make the tumblehome ?

How did you make the tumblehome ? this should explain it nicely: I worry about the availability but I kept it to slopes I remember seeing in Azur 17 minutes ago, Ross Fisher said: I like this one best out of the three.

Kai NRG Posted October 12, 2018 Ooh, I love the teal! Goes great with the gold accents. It is teal not azure right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Wolf Posted October 12, 2018 The teal/azure color is stunning with the black hull. And I really like the overall profile shape of this ship. This one's a beauty! FYI, I use the same tumblehome method on many of my ships. It makes for a very sturdy build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSkippy Posted October 12, 2018 Beautiful design. Love the color choices, new rear details, and the size change... I have my own take on the design as well (this mocyourbricks build is inspiring), just waiting to until I have a sigfig, dbs, and the money for real bricks!

Garmadon Posted October 12, 2018 Wow! Now this one is something else - gotta love that color-scheme! Epic all around, and if you manage to build it in real bricks I'd love to see some pics of that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LM71Blackbird Posted October 12, 2018 A beautiful looking ship indeed! I like the color choice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted October 13, 2018 Looking good, I like the tumblehome built with slope bricks, makes wanting to try the same. And I also like how you've widened the hull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraunces Posted October 13, 2018 she's a beauty, I have seen the video before and you made a very good replica with some nice changes. I agree that the colors are very nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've only been drawing in LDD since this April and it's been great especially for when I'm away from bricks or when I want to build something I don't have the right bricks for!
