Pirate Maniac

Thanks guys, sorry I took so long to reply, thanks for all the comments and such. I'm really pleased with the feet actually, as I took a look at izzo's folder on brickshelf and saw how all his mech's feet are boot like, so I'll just stick with that. But he will be a fine add on for my brikwars army! >:-)

Well, I've always wanted to make one but never figured out how, and after gaping at izzo's brickshelf folder for a while I searched for some interesting pieces and got to work. What do you think? Links: 1,2,3,4 Bit of a backstory: After facing defeat from *insert army/or planet* the govener of Earth commisioned a super weapon (other than a nuke) to combat these rival forces. The countries of Earth stuck their heads togethor and then they (mostly Japan) created the perfect fighting machine, the White Knight MK1 battle suit. It was fast, manouverable and packed a punch. A stealth team was soon commisioned (coming soon) to go deep into enemy territory as the White Knight's proved themselves on the battlefield. The invaders of Earth were driven back and Earth was reclamed, but the enemy is developing their own weapons, the age of man is over, the rage of the machine has begun. So has this rugged Pirate done you space pirates proud? :-D

Looks great! I have no problem with the shield and such, I love the arch idea and such, do you have any concepts for the other parts of the port to share with us Captain.K?

These decals are great for MS paint Mr Mosana, you have a lot more understanding than most people I come across on my home forum. I now feel obliged to ask you to join as a member on Minifig Customization Network, you can learn a lot from there and display your work. And all otrhers who want to join it is a good idea. P.S, I'm known as Viking Maniac over there, ;-)

Most definatly Mister Phes, although Esperanza portuaria will need a lot of rebuilding when they have finished their visit X-D

Thanks for the comments, I'll be making an order from the online pick a brick, to get more 4 x 4 blue plates, 1 x 1 bley bricks with holes through the middle and some arches and slopes to make the walls more elaborate. I made an order for 600 4 x 1 bley pieces for castle building and such, and I can never really see the colour differention in my creations, and if I do I don't really mind it. SO yes there will be water on all the parts which aren't raised. Thanks for adding the cannon also :)

Wow, that's coming along, I can't wait to see it finished! I see parts of the deck can slide out, is this just fo viewing purposes?

Hey all, I am planning on making this in sections, this is the first of most likely only two. The second will be an extention of buildings. I'm pleased with the rifle slits, I might be adding more opposite the first ones so they can fire upon invaders which have stormed the town (namely my pirates). The gap between the walls is sixteen studs wide, so if my ship were to try and get in for some bizaar reason, it would fit. I'm probably going to remodel the wooden area, or get rid of it all togethor. The building you see is "The Tall Tails Tavern", which I doubt shall be recieving a second level. I'm planning on adding a market an administration building, trading post and some houses. Suggestions most welcome. P.S, a big cannon: Links (thanks to Phred) ,,,, Click on thumbnails to view larger image

Sorry, I was rushing a bit and forgot about the advice given, my apologies. I will make the foremast taller, as the sail hangs a little low for my liking so that will be happening fairly soon. I will be keeping the amount of guns and such for the time being, but could you explain more what you mean Mr.Cerebus? Oh yeah, she is fully crewed now X-D

Thanks for the compliments! I used the brick built hull method because I prefer making something entirely from scratch than from a packet. Plus you can pull it apart easily, make it longer and add interior features. The sails are actually based off templates from lego sails, so blame them! :-D Ay yep, this is my first ship. I think I'm going to make some junks for her to battle, but at the moment I'm building my port town (I'll make a WIP thread for that too)

28c Et elle et finit! Elle et magnifiqe oui? Ok enough of that, she is finished and I am really pleased with her, I have left a few gaps in the hull because all the parts were pushing against each other and they all had silly solutions, so avery thine eyes from the hull. Ok, she has 12 broadside guns (I think that's what they're called) and two chaser guns. She comes with a captains quatres and powder store (both unfurnished as I'm using this for play and exterior viewing). A working anchor pully and home made sails. Gallery when public: Links: Enjoy! Next up, sea town for them to pillage.

I agree, the rock was softer on the eyes, and looked more interesting. Maybe al ighter wood but no a dark varnished sort. Good luck with that job!

Can do. It's nearly done, I'll probably get it finished tommorow, but can someone please give me a full sized template for sails? I've lost the only sails I had :'-( But I'm making some nice blood red ones :skel1: Gallery Links 1,2,3,4,5 Sorry for the quality, I hgad no arm rest this time.

Looks nice! I like the design, I say leave as is, that way my ship can pummel you even quicker X-D But I like the compactness of it all, I think people should look at it from a creative view instead of a historical view.

Did you know Teach actually ran his ship aground whilst trieing to attack a Spanish (me thinks) harbour? Just a fact... Looks great though, but I would change the figurehead though, it looks quite fake aswell for my liking.
