Horatio Posted June 16, 2012 Hey, I've done a little work on the frigate. The sides are almost done, and I've made enough lids for all of the gunports. Her rating will be upgraded from 28 guns to 32 guns. You may recognize the capstan design from the Danish brig Also, I took my own shot at a lifeboat, after Wesley built his.

That hull looks really good I like the design of the longboat too, you should post it in this thread to add to the discussion there: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70017 Dread Pirate Wesley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickPerfection Posted June 19, 2012 The brickbuild hull looks really nice! My thought would be that the gunports are a bit high; I'd make them more in the middle of the yellow line. Maybe use tiles instead of 2x2 plates? Or 2x2 Flags? The white masts seem a little unconventional, but they really look good! I'd space the black "iron rings" qith 3 white in between. Is the fighting top SNOT? It has a perfect size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horatio Posted June 22, 2013 I have made some progress recently, so here are a couple of teasers until I can get some better pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horatio Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I haven't been able to do too much in the past few months, considering that right now my ship is 500 miles away while I am at school, but here are a few images of her as she sits now. I still have to figure out a good way to fix the quarter galleries. I almost want to use three windows instead of the two, but that would take a good bit of maneuvering. The roofing could possibly be done with a few slopes, but I want to keep the shape of the current piece that I have there- the 2x6 that curves in two directions- any suggestions on a good replacement? I'm just not seeing a good fix. And of course here is a straight on bow shot. I'm generally pleased with the shape, but what do you all think? Is it too angular and blocky? At least she's come this far- the other day I came upon the first pictures that I took a few years back- this is how she used to look: Of course that was several designs ago- really a different ship. But still the spiritual predecessor. Anyway, what do you think? I might invest in some 2x2 round brown bricks for the masts, because I'm not sure if I completely am settled with the white. Plus, Christmas will come around soon enough Edited October 31, 2013 by Horatio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
