Ltfalcon Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) 166A Vengeance II Updated 5/31/15 "page 2" The Pirate Galleon "Vengeance". She's evolved over 6 months from my original MOC four cannon brig to a true galleon, with three decks, three masts, the forward and main masts are square-rigged and the after mast lanteen-rigged, the spirit mast is square-rigged as well. She's longer, taller, and planked on all decks. Thanks for looking, and this is a fun hobby that I share with sons.

Matteo1130 Posted August 18, 2014 Good looking! You may try some color to interrupt the whole brown surfaces. Inside there are lots of features and details, really like it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kinggregus Posted August 18, 2014 This is really the best pirate ship I have seen here in a while. What makes the charm of this boat is its authenticity; I personally like the approach you have taken where you stick with brown and black. Should I make a boat one day, it would be really inspired by yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted August 18, 2014 Very nice - it's got all the classic pirate look, but at the same time many additions and improvements of the TLC versions. A great galleon! Excellent sails! How did you emulate the "water"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very nice - it's got all the classic pirate look, but at the same time many additions and improvements of the TLC versions. A great galleon! Excellent sails! How did you emulate the "water"? Captain Braunsfeld, Thank you too for your compliment. The water is solid blue wrapping paper with transparent blue wrapping wrinkled to give the effect of waves. The clear blue is also very glossy which gives a good water type reflection. The clear blue wrap is used at Easter to wrap Easter baskets. Thank again everyone, David Edited August 18, 2014 by Ltfalcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ltfalcon Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Couldn't resist putting the new Mega Blocks Assassins Creed Black Flag pirate minifigures on my MOC Galleon Vengeance to see how they looked. Edward has commandeered this 10 cannon galleon and raised the black flag. They have just attacked a Britsh Sloop of War and are preparing to board. What will happen next?

Lind Whisperer Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) "Burn them, an' send their daemon souls back into the keeping of t' Nega-Blocktrix!" Seriously, though, beautiful job. What did you use to take the shots on top of, for that reflection? The only thing that has that texture that I could think of was possibly a trampoline. Always remember, every cent paid to a rival brand goes to the continuation of her evil schemes! Edited September 16, 2014 by Lind Whisperer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I sprayed the trampoline with the water hose thinking it would give the black seas look with reflection. Good eye! I like this one. It's simple, but very well done :-) I like this one.

Captain Edward Posted September 18, 2014 Nice job on building this! I must say, though it has nothing to do with the mod, the graphics of the photos with the legominifigures gave me that old nostalgic feeling. Of the old lego age. Keep going! -Eddie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Israel Hands Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Very nice. I like this a lot. I'm not very good at MOC so I think I'd like to try and copy this for one myself. Edited September 19, 2014 by Israel Hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep going! -Eddie Eddie, Thanks your compliment is greatly appreciated. Yes I agree the modern figures don't fit the nostalgic style of the MOC galleon, I just wanted to see how these figures would look. Thanks again, David Very nice. I like this a lot. I'm not very good at MOC so I think I'd like to try and copy this for one myself. Israel, Thank you, the greatest compliment is when someone wants to make a copy of a designers work. Thank you again and good luck with your build. David Edited September 20, 2014 by Ltfalcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mazin Posted December 25, 2014 Maybe I've missed something, but what did You use for that beautiful surface? And of course lovely build, lovely picture, lovely crew. I even realy like Your hand made flag. This is somewhat a mixture of xvi and xvii century galleons. Was is for purpose? You gave it a large forecastle which was rather uncommon during later times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You gave it a large forecastle which was rather uncommon during later times Mazin, Again thank you for your great replies. The surface was our trampoline which was spayed down with water. Yes the galleon is intended to be a xvi century galleon which has been upgraded and modified over time with the acquisition of booty and trade by it's captain, carpteners, and crew. A constant work in progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mazin Posted December 26, 2014 Trampoline? Well, it looks very cool Seems that picture making is like sound recording, one has to use a lot of crazy and unimagible ideas to get the right effect And a... modyfing and upgrading is one thing, I guess that Your pirates should win themselves a newer and safer ship, because with this oldtimer they'll never now when it'll decide to go down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ltfalcon Posted December 26, 2014 Yea I agree, but she's still pretty to look at and I'm a huge fan of galleons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mazin Posted December 27, 2014 Well like everyone here i guess can't understand people who aren't So were You inspired by any particular ship ( real or fictional ) while making Your own? Any favorites among those used by Holywood? Polanski's "Neptune", or Harlin's "Morning Star"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any favorites among those used by Holywood? Polanski's "Neptune", or Harlin's "Morning Star"? Well growing up watching old Captain Blood and Captain Kidd swashbuckler movies on Sunday as a kid and of course with the recent Pirates the Black Pearl always gave the tall galleons the glamorous appeal. The Golden Hind, Revenge, San Martin, along with the Pearl are favorites. I need to swap out stern windows with ached ones to improve the look of the ship. The Neptune, and Morning Star are beautiful ships as well. Edited December 27, 2014 by Ltfalcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 27, 2014 I think the main challenge with galleons is to not make them look too bulky. In that case, your MOC has been quite successful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
