Ah, so he's flesh-toned because he has not yet received a golden tan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you @NOD , as you are both ship and MOC expert, your words of praise mean a lot to and I'm glad you like it. I'm making the series of images of comparison with other ships which I plan to post on Instagram, maybe even on Flickr (I have to make account). 6 hours ago, Filibbooo said: nice mix between playable model and display model. Thank you @Filibbooo As I knew this will end up in the hands of 10 year old, I was striving to hit that sweet spot just in the middle, playable but serious. When I compared the first version to Barracuda I saw it was way too big, and thus not likely very playable since children need to move the ship with somewhat ease. So I downsized it. I think it would look good anchored outside of the Treasure Island 5 hours ago, Mister Phes said: so he's flesh-toned because he has not yet received a golden tan? Precisely!

Piraten Posted January 22 I just love Triton. Great build and I know the hard work that you have put in it. Love the colors ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Knight Posted January 22 Inspiration work. The color coordination of the sails and the ship, keep marveling me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickander Brickumnus Posted January 26 (edited) One of the most beautiful bluecoat ship I've ever seen! If the bow was a little bit more realistic (my opinion), it would be perfect! Edited January 27 by Brickander Brickumnus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraunces Posted January 26 Beautiful ship as the others have said. I read the small comic then and it was really good. You have got good writing skills so I hope you finish this New comic soon for us to enjoy! Thanks for sharing and congrats on reaching the Front Page Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marooned Marin Posted January 29 I finally got around to make digital 'size' comparison series of Triton against (new) Barracuda. Here are the results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sails tend to block a clear view at both ships... but truth be told, I was lazy to make custom digital sails for Barracuda so I found convenient excuse instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Townsend Posted February 4 This is great. It’s got a classic feel to it which I really like. One of my favorite parts is the blue sails. They match Lego stock sails so well in their shape and the material you used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
