Admiral Bejaune Posted February 14, 2009 Two very nice things in one picture:1- The ship of course! I see progress in the rigging, but if I look at your title, it's not going too well. I still can't wait till this beauty is finished. I have some issues with the rigging on my ship too... 2- Just what Mr. Spielbrick said: You have a very nice painting at the wall. Yea at first the rigging thing was tedious and there was many re-dos, but I believe now I have gotten the hang of it and Its coming along nicely. Wow, looks like an amazing ship under construction. You'll take pictures of every detail once it's finished, right? Yes. I will use a very nice and professional camera and take many detailed shots of the rigging, decks, and entire ship. Oh and yes the poster on the wall is very easy to look at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captan Stewart Strike Posted February 16, 2009 man, i wish i had the pieces to make a ship like that. the only ship stuff i have is for the spanish armada flagship that i got as a gift, and it is KILLING me. XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commander Laquiet Posted February 16, 2009 This is going to be a beautiful ship. All the detail! I cannot find one thing wrong so far with this ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLV Posted February 17, 2009 Looks really nice! You seem to have gotten everything right, the color, the shape of the stern, the rigging... can't wait to see your ship in action! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy Posted February 17, 2009 Dear HMS243, the ship looks stunning thus far! The fun of the original guns is they can fire! But I agree, that custom made guns look better as you can change the size for each deck. Keep up the excellent work. Kind regards, Teddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Bejaune Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) The rigging is nearly complete. She will be ready for action soon. Edited February 19, 2009 by HMS243 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Zuloo Posted February 21, 2009 She will be ready for action soon. I hope you were talking about the ship... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted February 22, 2009 The rigging is nearly complete. She will be ready for action soon. I'm about to start rigging my ship, so I'm hoping you'll post some good pics and close-ups. That would help me a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Blackmoor Posted February 22, 2009 That would help me too, I know the basic riggin techniques but the small things make it realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Armendariz Posted February 22, 2009 Im making a ship also but im using the Lego rigging instead I dont really have patience to make string rigging Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cei Posted February 23, 2009 The question is, how on earth are you creating that tumblehome? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Bejaune Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Oh and it seems that some people are questioning how sturdy my friends and my mocs are so here is some proof. And here she is awaiting her sails and slightly more rigging to be added (It was in the way of adding the sails, but will be re-added when the sails are on the yardarms) Edited February 24, 2009 by HMS243 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorro Posted February 24, 2009 Those doubts are over now I'd say. Although I wasn't one of them to question your building skills, you are one of the greatest shipbuilders of this forum, right next to CGH, RTN, Cerberus, Bonaparte, Phred,...so many more great shipbuilders linger around here to call all their names down here . Good job on the strenght of your ship. Btw nice posters . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted February 24, 2009 Man that baby looks good! Can't wait to see it under full sail and rigging, on some slightly sharper pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy Posted February 24, 2009 That baby looks great! I like the idea of lifting your ship. I think CGH might have started a trend. Kind regards, Teddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Armendariz Posted February 25, 2009 This is gonna be a great ship! I cant wait 'till the next EB pirates! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Kirk Posted February 27, 2009 When the ship is finished... that's frontpage, no questions about it... I hope you take the pictures with a clean white background... so nobody have to edit it with a background of some tropical paradise... this ship must stand on his own... no diversion !!! IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Bucanero Posted February 28, 2009 Looks great. How many mid-pieces did you use for the hull? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ratshot Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) You have one nice looking ship there, Good job I already commented once on this ship but I just couldn't help myself to comment again Edited February 28, 2009 by Broadside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Bejaune Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks everyone for their kind words. I will give the specs on this ship. She is a 64 gun ship of the line under french colors, and has seven prefab center sections (not counting the bow and stern hull pieces). And the tumble home effect is a guarded secret, but if you do a little research you will be able to figure out how to do it. Cheers -T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Errorist Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) I really like this beauty HMS. One of my favorite details would have to be the crew's toilets and of course that beautiful stern. Are you using other models besides CGH's ship as a guideline? Anyway, I 'm really looking forward to seeing this ship fully rigged and under sail. Keep up the good work Errorist Edited March 1, 2009 by Errorist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
