Admiral Croissant Posted December 31, 2009 I think you should turn the white bricks on the hull into black because this white line looks a bit strange. For the rest it looks rather good. I like the colourscheme. The blue and yellow make it almost look like this french flag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:France_Ancient.svg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Lock Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Looks quite nice. I'm not sure about the Blue and Gold for a British ship. Looks more like the French Bourbon Flag! It would be ok if you kept the blue strips but in between you made at least a one brick or two brick separation. Realistically, there would be no room to fire the cannons from unless it was a "Mini-scale" ship, Which I don't believe it is supposed to be. With the separation you can change the in your face Blue mood and put in some White, or...Yellow? Whatever colour suits it best. EDIT: Also, I just saw the flag on the stern...What is going on there? Thats not the british flag, Or even the Redcoat flag! To be one of "Her Majesty's Ships" we must demand you change her immediately!

Thats not the british flag, Or even the Redcoat flag! To be one of "Her Majesty's Ships" we must demand you change her immediately! as you can see by the flag its a bluecoat ship or french. i an working on something very nice to make between the decks, it would also break the big blue side. but there for i am still awaiting a bricklink order or 2 before i can realy start building. its just a test to see how the side wil come out "Her Majesty" is ruler of the falconian empire (my bluecoats are the imperial version of my black falcon's remeber my military post ) Edited December 31, 2009 by Claus von Nassau Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorro Posted December 31, 2009 Looks good so far, very 'French' actually (just the colours I mean). Best of luck with the remake of this project! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted December 31, 2009 Very courageous to start over to get the result you want! The colour scheme can definitely work, but your side is bending a bit heavy, almost like a V shape. I think you are trying to get a curve in there, which would look more like the wide part of an ellipse. (3 deckers don't curve that heavily) You can see it here in this picture of my favourite French 3 decker, the Royal Louis: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(3 deckers don't curve that heavily) You can see it here in this picture of my favourite French 3 decker, the Royal Louis: taking it apart for the 4th time wasn't as hard as doing it for the first time. i've have a lot of dutch build ship's to work from and the stern is alot higher than on english or french ship's. and i have tried to give it a dutch look with high stern. perhap you know any dutch 3 deck ship's? please let me know. but i am still awaiting some bricklink order's to start the build of the V4 this is still testing out different techniqe's claus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
