Slobey Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Introducing Ezra Oakheart’s Ship “The Harpy” - Updated with sails 6 August Ezra continues his voyage back to his ancestral home of Elysian IMG_0144b by slobey79, on Flickr sails 1 by slobey79, on Flickr sails 2 by slobey79, on Flickr The Harpy by slobey79, on Flickr IMG_0142 by slobey79, on Flickr IMG_0143 by slobey79, on Flickr IMG_0141 by slobey79, on Flickr IMG_0148 by slobey79, on Flickr IMG_0147 by slobey79, on Flickr This build started with me pulling apart the LotR Pirate Ship ambush and playing around with a few SNOT techniques. I have some sails on the slow boat from America so I’ll update pics when they come, hopefully with some better lighting.

-Horizon- Posted July 31, 2014 Great ship Slobey. I really like the smoothness of it all, it just looks elegant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scaevola Posted July 31, 2014 Very nice job with this. The curved sections are excellent, and the variance in levels and textures is very well executed . Great base as well (though I think making it a bit larger would better accommodate the ship's size). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted July 31, 2014 Good job with this MOC, the curves are really well done and the entire boat looks great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzalirk Posted July 31, 2014 This is an awesome ship! I like the use of the Brick Warriors stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted July 31, 2014 First GoH build to use that awesome harpy armor and wings! I have some of that myself. Also, just a great ship all around. Will look amazing with sails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Cicchini Posted July 31, 2014 Whoa! Fantastic ship! The figurehead definitely puts it over the top in terms of awesomeness. Looks like I'll have to make another order from BrickWarriors to get me some o' them wings. Seconding Mccoyed, have you thought about making sails? I think that would be the final necessary touch on this great addition to the Avalonian armada. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted July 31, 2014 Awesome ship! Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah, this ship makes me want to take another crack at it. Would love to get your take on my ship, The Hold Fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted July 31, 2014 A shame you didn't get this in in time for the GNAR challenge! I think it could have helped tip the scales in Avalonia's favour! Great build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Infernum Posted July 31, 2014 Wow, what an awesome ship! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabel Posted July 31, 2014 Oh wow, that is a really great ship. Interesting idea to do the curve like that! Great job on her! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxim I Posted August 1, 2014 Really beautifull ship!! I really like how you made the hull I am only not such a big fan of the upper cabin. I think the result would have looked better (and more medieval) when the front deck had the same hight as the rear deck (so without the upper cabin) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted August 1, 2014 Awesome ship, Slobey, the curves on the bow and stern are excellent, and the SNOT work on the side works very well Great first build for GoH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted August 2, 2014 Really cool ship! I like the shape a lot and the color scheme works perfectly for Avalonia Welcome to GoH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunman Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Lots of inderesting techniques used there, I like the way you made the bow :) Great job man.. edit: also the statue at the bow rocks... Those wings are 3rd party or Lego?? Edited August 2, 2014 by Gunman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slobey Posted August 2, 2014 Thanks for all the comments guys, I'll update the photos when the sails arrive :-) @Gunman the armour and wings are from Brickwarriors - http://www.brickwarriors.com/bird-wings-pair/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slobey Posted August 6, 2014 Updated with custom sails from Capemadness http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=dingraham Great quality highly recommend them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon_S Posted August 6, 2014 Very nice ship! I can see all the effort you put into this build, it was totally worth it . That is definitely one first great MOC. Brick on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe Posted August 6, 2014 Lovely ship Slobey, some nice shaping at the bow and the figurehead looks awesome! I like the height on the rear decks too, although i do find the overall shape of the stern a little bit boxy. The sails were a great addition, worth waiting for. Good to see some more nice ships coming out of Avalonia! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MassEditor Posted August 6, 2014 Great job Slobey, a wonderful ship you've put together here! (and congrats on your first MOC for GoH!) There's a lot to appreciate here, including that stylish border and the nice color composition of the vessel itself. The ship is simply but elegantly designed. Nice technique for the tumblehome as well! I wonder however if using some vertical hinge plates to connect the 1x4 tiles on the bow would have helped eliminate those gaps... Also, the bowsprit appears a little awkward - I think lowering it a few degrees would work well. Otherwise, excellent build. Look forward to seeing more from you on the forums! A shame you didn't get this in in time for the GNAR challenge! I think it could have helped tip the scales in Avalonia's favour! Great build Nice thought, but sounds like wishful thinking to me! I think we Nocturnians will have to start placing glass floors on our ships, that way we can view the Avalonian navy at the bottom of the sea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
