[OL - FB] Le Neptune - Class 9 Ship

Recommended Posts

A Napoleonic inspired Ship of the Line for glorious Oleon. Heavily inspired by Wellesly's HMS Persephone and Invicta's hull/tumblhome technique on YouTube. She has 84 guns and three decks. 36-pounder guns on the lowest deck, 24-pounder everywhere else.

Class 5?!? :pir-tongue: I'd say class 9 :pir-laugh:

(More feedback on this beautiful ship later when I have better time)

84 guns and three decks, definitely a class 9. A great addition to our mighty fleet, nicely done!

I like it very much, though I think you could add more details on the bow, for example remove a couple of these curved plates to attach some hinge plates to create that curved, ornated thingy, I forgot the correct term.:pir-grin:

Most certainly a class 9  and would be a worthy opponent to my own class 10s!

Beautiful all around! I know it's small, but I really like that custom anchor! I've always struggled with getting those to look nice so seeing different ways to do it is always helpful.

My only criticism is I would like to see a tad bit more of a tumblehome, but that is easier said then done on such a large vessel. Overall a fantastic build!

If a mod could edit the title to Class 9, that would be awesome. And thanks. The bow was probably the most difficult part for me. I’ll definitely fix that for next time.

Impressive...most impressive. :pir-vader:  The hull shaping and brick-built sails look great!

Thanks! The sails took a little bit of trial and error, and lots of cursing at the hinge button in LDD.

Thanks! I originally was going to use the official anchors, but those were too small. I then brickbuilt them but they were too big. 

For the tumblehome, Invicta’s guide as a two decker, and I think it looks better as a two decker with just one “slope”. Next large ship I’ll do will probably try doubling that tumblehome technique.

A.K.A. "The fortress"??

Beautiful ship. May it stay afloat forever! If I had to correct anything, it would be to make that bow a bit more ornamental as Bodi said. It will make it was more elegant! Great build though! How many working hours by the way?

Haha yes, now aka "The Fortress." Took way too many working hours, especially on the sails. I would estimate maybe 15-20 overall for just build? Mainly due to experimenting on the hull and tumblehome. Rendering the photos took probably 1 or 2.

Pretty little rowboat there. :pir_laugh2:

Great build! I like that quite a bit of work went into the interior - much appreciated!

Rowboat?! Why I oughta... :pir-tongue:

I love interiors for builds. It's half the fun of building for me. I grew up playing with LEGO, and I'll be damned if I stop making interiors/play features for my younger self.:pir-laugh: For me, if there's not an interior or something fun/active about a build I do that's in minifig-scale, then I'm missing out on something important.

Besides. What use is a ship with 84 guns if there's no crates and barrels of shot? What use is there of quarters and cabins if the officers don't have a place to eat?:pir-grin:

Definitely a beautiful build, I don't know if its just me but- I feel like it should be a bit longer... maybe it's just the rendering or angles distorting the size...(not that I would know how to fix it :pir-tongue:)  Regardless, it is very impressive!
