ThatGuyWithTheBricks Posted June 27, 2010 Do you think this piece would make a good hull piece? Also, do you you think that it is at all plausible for a ship to have a double-hull? It's that in red. brown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiyero Posted June 27, 2010 I think a number of those would make for a nice hull to a smallish, sleek ship. What do you mean by a "double-hull?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cpt. Dan Posted June 27, 2010 I was think of having two of those in a row so that it almost has two hulls. So basically making the ship a little taller with those layered? I think it could work, check out the ship from Imperial Trading Post. It was a small merchant vessel but used that piece (I think?) to make a sleek, small ship. I think it came out well. It would be tough though making a large one with those... If you're talking about putting them side by side, it would be alot tougher because the shape of the piece makes a major gap inbetween the two pieces and makes it look a little rough IMHO. It is worth a shot with the right pieces almost anything is possible. Hope this helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiyero Posted June 27, 2010 If you were have a double-hull I would suggest the piece Capt. Dan was referencing, it's just like that but only six wide. IMO a double hull would not look good, at least not for a sailing ship, especially with the twelve wide. That is just my opinion. Possibly a tri-hull, with the twelve in the center and a six on either side, would look better, it would be the same width as your original idea. Good luck with whatever decision you choose.

Brig. Brick Posted June 28, 2010 I think that it could be work, but beware, many of this pieces together could be the sensation of the hull from a modern ship (rigid ships, not rounded). in the imperial trading post (6277) they use only two (similar) pieces, and even there, I feel the sensation of an blocky and squared ship, but nice after all and by the way, if you use that color, prepare to find something like a PT boat from the WWII good luck and if built it, please show it!!!
