I've been working on the sails, here's a sneak preview. With thanks to Captain Greenhair for his tutorials.

Here's a small update; The crew; Raised the bow a bit, changed the figurehead, added guns at the poopdeck, swiffel guns at the front deck, also added the flags, for the dutch under us; the topflag is the admiraalsvlag (admiralsflag), on the front and back there is the VOC flag, also added some strings. Raised bow and new figurehead and the swiffels; And the guns on the poopdeck;

Ha ha ha, i love this story and i was waiting for the end (or will there be more ) Great build and great story.

I wonder that too....(the sails will be added patience!) I Know what you mean but this is the best i came up with because i don't have the 2x2 round bricks No there is no interiour, the hull is full with support bricks to make it riggid, and for a full interiour i don't have enough bricks

Yes...finished the rigging of the masts, and added a boom for the lateen

Another amazing building, i love your building techniques, they are truly amazing... I wonder how much bricks you must have, you build so much, i think you live next to the Lego factory

Thanx for the reply...i was very ancsious (how do you write that ) to see the replies...(i'm very proud for myself how this ship is going ) About the lateen...yes it is in the plans to ad one, i just wan't to make the rigging first or it will be in the way when i'm buisy with the strings...

This makes me want to build a port for my own ship...absolutely amazing

Added the lamps, made new anchors and the rigging on the first masts are done One of 2 anchors; And the lamps; Hope you like it

Question....how wide should the booms be in relation to the with of the ship? thx for reactions

I've made this one for my red whale;

i like the overall design / colorscheme etc, it really looks great, but i have to agree with perfectionist, de sterncastle doesn't have windows and te balcony isn't reachable because there are no doors . The rigging is unusual with the technic parts. But great find

Thnx, i really couldn't find it ....(although it's pinned, we have a saying in duth....a bit chickenlike.nl (een beetje kippig.nl)

Hi, I'm still pretty much new in the world of Eurobricks and i wondered how to get those cool icon's some members have underneath their avatar, like MOC-expert, Pirateflag, Country Flag, Cups etc... (there is porbably already a thread but i couldnt't find it)

This is amazing, the detailling , it's to bad i don't have SW-lego's....but still i can't make something this beautifull

I got this one, espessially for the nice little detailed stuff (and captain jack)

We're all about to get bricked

The rigging is massive work Respect for the ones who has already made custom rigging. A small update (and a better picture )

Thx, if you look to real ships you will notice the rigging starts above the first gundeck, since i've got bigger gunports, limited bricks, space etc...the rigging is slightly before the gunports, but they open, at the back it's before the windows, but that doesn't mind.... They are all some beauty flaws, but it looks good IMO and that's what i'm aming at, also i want to make it as realistic as posible.. and in that case some things aren't practical but more beautiful. But thanks for all the comment, it's good to hear i'm on the right track Btw, i'm aming for a galleon typish thingy and the crew will be a surprise (will it be pirates or imperials

The masts are up;

I've started with the rigging;

This must have taken hours en hours to make, and it's not even in Lego (at first i thought it was Lego, but than i read al the comments), it's amazing.

That's amazing...i like your techniques, great vessels!

Here are some new (better) pictures (with a minor update)

I tried that, i didn't like it, it just doesn't fit in the whole, imo the ship is to long then.
