  1. Impressive dog (and ship X-D )

    That truly is massive.

    How many studs wide is it?

    P

    36 studs at the widest point and about 120 studs long at the (imaginary) keel


  2. Aha yet again a rebuild. *sweet*

    How are you going to build the bow then?

    Sturdiness is something which i already found out to be essential when building models this size

    so i would say the sturdier the better :-D

    Which color will your deck be in? Brown or tan or something else?

    BTW both these versions look awesome. Keep up the good work *y*


  3. I voted for Bonapartes ship for a second time.

    It was again a tough decision i had to make but in the end i voted for what i thought to be the most original idea.

    Still Benk has got himself a beautiful ship there to with some very cool details. I love the both of them and they should both be turned into lego sets *sweet*


  4. For sure *y*

    In M&C the HMS Surprise had a crew of 197 souls and it was a 28 gun ship.

    I saw 63(ish) MF's in that pic.

    lets see...

    (for)tymes(six-T three) is two times Gamma(6);

    then add the denominator of 0.083333333333333333333333

    and i get 252 souls on that ship.

    That's a lot of ppl.

    Maybe you only need 3 times the amount. X-D

    Unless of course it's an american ship, then you need to put way more ppl than you need. :-D

    BTW: This frigate is looking awesome so far *y*

    P

    Thanks phred :-$

    Nah she remains french but she lready grew to become a 32gun ship so about 240-250 people is pretty ok i guess.

    this pic shows my lovely ship and dog so i can show the size of this monster :-P


  5. Well here you have some new pics.

    The're taken with all of the crew i got right now.

    The final crew will contain about 4 times more minifigs *sweet*

  6. I voted for Lagoon lock-up because its the only one of these sets i used to own when i was a kid.

    Love the other sets too though especially volcano island and the imperial outpost but i didn't vote for them because only my friends had them.

    Jealousy is making my choice here :-P


  7. Indeed my ship is (slowly) coming to life as you can see on this ultrapoor quality pic:

    dscn0438.jpg

    This is part of the bow and about half of it will be under water by the time the ship is finished.

    Eventually there will be no white bricks visible on the outside of the hull anymore *sweet*

    And to answer Mister Phes's question, yes I will be adding sails.

    She will also be string rigged and have every possible detail that can be built with lego ;-)


  8. Now that's interesting!! Finally one of your mighty constructions will come to live. *sweet*

    Since we don't have any pictures yet, could you perhaps tell a little backstory on the ship? Like the amount of guns, or who's the captain.

    And on which of your creations will you base this frigate?

    Eager to see some progress!

    Here's the answer to some of your questions.

    She will start out as a 24 gun frigate but with the idea to transform her into a 50 gun ship over time.

    She's based on my latest design and will be built following that design more or less :-P

    In time I will give her a small history and so forth. Captain's name is still unknown but i'm thinking about one as of now :-P

    ps Pics will be coming pretty soon ;-)


  9. I'm not used to printing stuff on fabric but would it be possible to actually print these flags directly onto a piece of fabric or do you have to take the long way round and first put it on a piece of paper?

    Ps the Henry Avery flag and the Blackbeard flag are sweeeet *y*
