Hound Knight Posted June 1, 2009 Presenting my new Royal Navy ship, the Ubiquitous: When she is finished, she will have 2 gundecks with 6 guns a side. Ack! Bluecoat spies! H'm, it appears to be Amendariz and Zuloo! The stern of the ship. The forecastle. My faithful Marine Lieutenant Gecko goads on a sluggish worker. Admiral Houndblower discusses plans with Captain Joseph Lock. Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Armendariz Posted June 1, 2009 nice ship your working on! it looks great! H'm, it appears to be Amendariz and Zuloo! Yes, me and Zuloo are planning to sabotage this ship and build our own t finish the British off once and for all !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Zuloo Posted June 1, 2009 Yes, me and Zuloo are planning to sabotage this ship and build our own t finish the British off once and for all !!! Only problem being that in my opinion the Blue and Redcoats are Brits... Excellent ship mate! I look foward to frontpaging this one! Keep up the awesome work.

Captain Blackmoor Posted June 1, 2009 Arrr! More ships to sink guys! It looks a very nice project Hound Knight. She will be well armed for a ship with 4 midsections (4 right?) I'm already fond of the bow, nice to use arches! I would change them into another colour though since it's all brown now. Hmm, I really need those new cannons to fill my next ship with... Keep it up matey, she looks great already! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Croissant Posted June 1, 2009 I think this will turn out to be a very fine ship! Is it going to have 3 masts, or maybe 2? And are you also going to build a figurehead on it? I think it's a good idea for the bluecoats to keep an eye on this project since I think this ship is going to be dangerous... good luck with the rest of this ship.

You are a... Counterspy! Yes, a counterspy! Arrr! More ships to sink guys!It looks a very nice project Hound Knight. She will be well armed for a ship with 4 midsections (4 right?)

Keep it up matey, she looks great already! Thanks, what color of arches would you suggest? Oh, and there a 3 midsections (that's all I have currently). Lt. Gecko will capture your ships with his marines and I'll get prize money! Ha! I think this will turn out to be a very fine ship! Is it going to have 3 masts, or maybe 2? And are you also going to build a figurehead on it? I think it's a good idea for the bluecoats to keep an eye on this project since I think this ship is going to be dangerous... good luck with the rest of this ship. 2 Masts, and yes, I'll build a figurehead of some sort.

Captain Blackmoor Posted June 1, 2009 Um... You are a... Counterspy! Yes, a counterspy! Prepare the gallows! Thanks, what color of arches would you suggest? Oh, and there a 3 midsections (that's all I have currently). I'd suggest make them yellow, that will fit nicely with the coloursheme. And perhaps another midsection since it looks a bit bulky now. I don't know which colour I should use for the gunports, dark red probably. In real the width of the stern should fit 6 times in the length of the ship for the ideal dimensions. In LEGO it's different of course. My stern fits 4,5 times in the length. It looks like you've got an awesome ship there so far, be careful though the Bluecoats won't steal the design!!

AwesomeStar Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Lookin' great, Hound Knight! I would suggest keeping it the same length, as a short, bulky ship looks quite powerful with all those cannons! ~A.S. Edited June 1, 2009 by AwesomeStar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Lock Posted June 1, 2009 Wow I really love the ship mate! I love the inside, Hmm Shiny cannon... I would get someone on the bow cannons to blow those bluecoats out of the trees! I would say change the colour scheme but it will soon just look that same as the other ships already made. I like your bow! Please Blackmoor be reasonable and surrender. British Red Coat navy to date: HMS Prince of Wales, HMS Unicorn, HMS Eurayles, HMS Ajax, HMS Ubiquitous, Scimitar, HMS Orion, HMS Minotaur, HMS Bellerophon, Serapis, HMS Orinoco, HMS Kestrel, HMS Diadem, HMS Unpredictable, HMS Floater HMS Legomalee, HMS San Legonio, HMS Knight, HMS Knight II, HMS Agressor, HMS Repulse, HMS Endeavour, HMS Leopard, HMS Sirius, HMS Inventive, HMS Achilles, HMS Active, HMS Victory (Not Teddys), HMS Repentance. And your ships?: La Mort Royale, Le Requin, Sang Royale, L'Orient, La Gloire and L'Aigle and a few more. (Not being bias) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Lock Posted June 1, 2009 Thank you! I'm not sure I understand what you mean 'bout the color scheme...Yes, Blackmoor, please do! See you got your name changed! Congratualations!

Captain Blackmoor Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Please Blackmoor be reasonable and surrender. Naa, not before we even encountered you at open sea...And your ships?:La Mort Royale, Le Requin, Sang Royale, L'Orient, La Gloire and L'Aigle and a few more. (Not being bias) Those ships aren't small ships... most of them are fourth rates. And how dare you to forget the Le Formidable! 24 guns isn't that weak otherwise... YnyklY's ship the L'Aigle isn't finished yet, you will be shocked when you see it set course towards you! Oh and wait, there's something in my shipyard as well... another fourth rate with 40+ guns... So be gentle and don't ask for surrender, it seems to be you are afraid and you want to avoid a fight... We'll see what the future brings! Nice name you've got now Houndblower! Now you should only fix your signature. Erm... never mind... Edited June 1, 2009 by Cap'n Blackmoor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HMS Prince of Wales, HMS Repulse, HMS Ajax, HMS Repulse, HMS Legomalee, HMS Leopard, HMS Active are all 2 Deck gunned ships with over 30 cannons on each ship. HMS Victory has over 100 Cannons, HMS Unicorn (My upcoming ship) will have 113 guns! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Blackmoor Posted June 1, 2009 It's not fair to call your friends from years ago, the ships maybe don't even exist anymore. I think it will be a nice challenge to fight your 113 gun flagship! And I'm looking forward to see it, since it really looks a cool project. In the time your ship is finished I (hope) to have a fleet of a sixth rate (Le Formidable) a fourth rate (Le Fourageux) and another secret project I'm thinking on. It's not a first rate though. I haven't that much room in my room to store my vessels, and I want to keep them! Don't forget it's about tactics, outnumbered guns are only an adventage matey. I've studied some books with fantastic tactics... And Empire Total War proves it really works... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Blackmoor Posted June 1, 2009 We're really sliding off topic now, I thought this topic was about Houndblower's ship. We'd better discuss this "matter" in a seperate topic somewhere in the future. Of course I have seen the pictures, but it's not a realistic battle. A brig with about 20 guns against the 104 guns of the Victory... And brigs weren't active in heavy seabattles, brigs are escort and small warships. Not even a rated ship so it wasn't classified for battle. The British had 6th rates to 1st rates which were used for battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ratshot Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) My faithful Marine Lieutenant Gecko goads on a sluggish worker. That is a odd name for a Lt. but, as i've said in one topic its not about size its about tactics HEAR HEAR GENERAL!!! It looks great, but the stern looks a little flat. But that is just what I think. P.S I hope that Zuloo and Armendariz manage too destroy that dirty Brittish ship. MAY GOVERNOR BROADSIDE AND HIS BLUE COATS REIN SUPREME!!!

Admiral Bejaune Posted June 2, 2009 My past British ships are scuttled... The HMS Knight and the HMS Aggressor are destroyed. If we are bringing up past ships, then I have one for the FRENCH list, my Le Soleil Royal a 104 gun ship of the line. Here is her link http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=263132. Ah.. I almost forgot the main point of this topic, the Ship wip. She looks good so far. A few pointers, I would make the cannons at least three studs apart, two studs is just too close together. One more thing is I don't know if I like the fort wall bricks above the gunports. I like the color scheme and the headrails look interesting, Ill be waiting to see the final result. Quick question, What color will the cannon ports be? -Admiral Bejaune Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
