anglezoo Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) [pid][/pid] 101b HI Everyone, This is my first post, and I'd like to introduce myself with my ship the Pallas, a 28 gun frigate. This is the second ship I' ve made. Even though I ve emerged from my dark ages for quite some time I've never really poster anything until now. So, here she is. I am a purist and therefore am against handmade sails and rigging, though it would be more honest to say that I can't be bothered to make any. Besides...the ship is in mooring and isnt going anywhere, so she doesn't need the unfurled sails :-) Please feel free to post any comments recommendations or remarks you wish to make. Many thanks Edited August 29, 2010 by Captain Blackmoor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Bricker Posted August 21, 2010 That ship looks awsome. I am really impressed. I was wondering if you could post some other pictures of your ship. I would really like to see some close-ups of the hull and a good view of the stern gallery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted August 21, 2010 That looks like an impressive ship, based on the IFS' base and color scheme. I'd also like to see more detailed pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Blackmoor Posted August 21, 2010 Ooh what a wonderful ship you've got there! An excellent way to introduce yourself! Welcome! The hull has a great shape and colours, top notch work on it! Those sails are also very nicely done, but I think she deserves more rigging. It looks a bit plain up high, a few more ropes would add even more to what already is a pearl.

the Inventor Posted August 21, 2010 Great work, anglezoo I really like how you have made the ship although as what Captain Blackmoor said she could use a bit more rigging. The stern looks great with those golden windows and flags. the Inventor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurigan Posted August 22, 2010 This is a great ship, beautiful in her simplicity and reverent to period design. I rather like the color scheme, as it seems to reflect the taste of the time from which it comes. I have to ask, however, you rater her at 28 guns but I see none on the spar deck and only 11 gunnels to a side on the gun deck, a total of 22. How do you make up the missing 6? I really don’t mean to be cruel and apologize if the mistake is mine. I think you may be over selling a ship that doesn’t need it. 22 guns is respectable and still in the same rating as a 28. The brick built sails are an interesting touch, especially with the mini figure activity all about the ship. I’ve seen guys make unfurled sails from white or tan plates, with relative success, perhaps that’s a solution if ever you change your mind. Once again, lovely ship!

I aim to get a few more smaller guns on deck when I get round to it, 4 bow and aft chasers and 2 somewhere in the middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KotZ Posted August 22, 2010 That's a really beautiful ship, angelzoo! I love the design of the sails, and the color scheme is very nice! I'd love to see more of your ships! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Becker Posted August 22, 2010 [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp] And thats what this beaty realy deservs Really lovley color scheme and the back gallery is very nicely detailed, The bow is perfect. Ist here captains cabin inside or gundeck whit cannons below that main deck? Captain Becker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Croissant Posted August 22, 2010 Very nice ship! It has enough stuff on the deck like the bell and a captstan (and soon a few cannons) and the hull is also nice. I like the colourscheme and the small curve in the line of gunports. I do agree with Blackmoor on the rigging though. I prefer custom rigging anyway but just lego is very good as well (but it could use some more ropes). But like I said it's a very fine ship with a lovely stern Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fires-storm Posted August 22, 2010 This is just so freaking amazing! The height is perfect, the sail furl looks exactly right, the hull shape for the deck is perfect, well done indeed! Keep bricking for sure mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anglezoo Posted August 23, 2010 Many thanks to everyone for your kind words and suggestions, I pretty much agree with you all. Stay tuned for a definitive version (if such a thing exists) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
