    @FaladrinThank you! Regarding to pics size I wanna say I'm sorry. I've read the recomendations and know that it's better to use 800x600 size and thought I was uploading this size here, but... Again, I'm sorry.

    @rock raiderThank you! I have Studio and I did upload model and I do usually check prices. Anyway, thanks for advice.

    @Anders T Thank you for positive feedback and for answering my question! Actually I found this plan on russian ship modelists forum where I collect really huge amount of information about technical aspects.

     

    @The Neighborhood Merchant Thank you. I'm satisfied with cost and the only question was only about shops quantity. I have actually built a stand but wanted to render ship without it.

    I don't understand the complaints about lack of color, if someone clearly explains they don't have the parts on hand.

    I think it's nice to see people post MOCs that clearly show effort in shaping/design, not everyone has thousands of Euro/Dollars of LEGO to pick from.

    I do love those ships for sure @Disabella

    Are those Dutch flags on the ship in the back? 

    And the Red Lion on yellow background from the coat of arms of the Counts of Holland.

    Thank you for positive feedback but colorfulness is truly a big problem.

    And flags:

    @Disabella

    When your Fluyt showed up I was certain it was a troll and refused to take the bait. I looked it over and couldn't get my head around why anyone would put so much structural work into a build with such disregard for color scheme, unless it was on purpose (or perhaps they were severely color blind). With great concentration, you can see that there are plenty of repeated colors which could be consolidated to form, at least patches, if not contribute to some kind of intentional, uniform pattern. Then, this one comes along, and my impression is the same but I get to thinking. It may still be a trolling, trying to illicit harsh criticism, but maybe not. 

    Let me ask you this: Is your Lego collection organized?

    When I decided to revive my interest in ships though Lego, I just dug out my child-hood Lego, all mixed up and partially assembled. As a result, I couldn't muster enough to build any significantly sized models. It wasn't until I knuckled-down and sorted my collection that I could really build reasonably scaled models.

    It doesn't need to be hyper-organized, with each part in a little drawer. I just keep baggies of like parts (bricks, plates, tiles, etc.) in shoe boxes of one color. So, now, if I want to build a new ship, I can visit the color box I'm thinking and determine ahead of time, if I have enough to build what I'm designing. Say I'm into a new brig, of 18 guns. I'd like to make it from Tan, but I don't have enough 1 X bricks in that color, so instead I go into my White box and find an abundance. Since I don't want to pay for more Tan, I'll shelf it and build Snake from white. 

    You can keep doing whatever you want, it's no skin off my back. I think that there's something to your builds, though, and that your lack of composition is doing your work a disservice.

     

    Cheers

    Dave 

    I'm not trolling actually.

    My lego pieces collection is not big enough to create my ships not colorful keeping the same size and that's why I sort pieces not by colour but by the piece type. 

    Since I've found that this problem is too disturbing I'll put whole my effort to make proper coloured ship next. I think I'll use bricklink for it because now I even don't have any flat parts 1 pin width.

    Nice cutter, @Disabella! I agree with everyone else in saying this definitely would look stunning if it was in actual colors, but I have to add how well you did with what you have! Like Bregir said, the stern is fantastic and the overall brick-built look is excellent. Since you're running out of parts, I'd recommend looking into bricklink. Hopefully, you might be able to find the parts in colors you're looking for there. You definitely already are very good at building ships, and I'm sure all of us would love to see your next one with a color scheme to it.

    I look forward to seeing it rigged and with sails! :pir_laugh2:

    Thank you! I actually know about bricklink service and hopefully will use it to make next ship.

    I guess I've almost completed rigging and wanted to ask if there is something that I forgot or could add.

    And next step is sails!

    I know that dazzle painting has a genuine history in naval warfare, but I'd really like to see a few fewer colours...

    The reason why it is colorful is just I don't have enough bricks to make a sailingship of normal size and make it not colorful.

    There is some excellent shaping going on there! The colours (I suppose due to availability of bricks?) do make it a little hard to make out, but in general, this is a very impressive build. With the use of classic slopes and some nice snot work, you have gotten a very good shape! I like the overall sheer, and the bow is well-rounded, but what really steals the show is the stern and rudder. We rarely see full hull models, and the rudder, with the top sticking up through the deck connecting to the tiller is really nice. It did take me a while to identify what the anchors were, but they are actually really well done.

    The obvious suggestion is of course a more uniform colour scheme and some more tiles. It would be great to see this in a uniform colour scheme, but in any case, I will be looking forward to seeing her rigged.

    Yeah, count of bricks is pretty poor. Actually all flat parts with 1pin width are gone to this cutter and another my ship, so I don't know how to build something more xD.

    I guess, tomorrow I'll be at my granny's where I'll choose fabric for sails and start twisting ropes.

    And of course, thank you for complimentary comment!

    Greetings!

    I think I've already finished constructing this cutter and soon will start placing rigging, red sails and flags.

    If you have some ideas what i can add there or critics I'll be glad to see them!

    Awesome!  Yeah, the reason I'm so annoying about having neutral backgrounds is for when we post MOCs on social media.

    We need to maintain presentations standards so the MOC must be clearly distinguishable from the background.

    Ok, I'll try to make it as soon as possible

    You don't have a sheet or something like that?

    I actually plan to make kind of studio just need to find big white sheets of paper which are lying somewhere

    The sails and rigging are quite impressive ...do you have plans to revisit once your collection grows?

    Thank you! I didn't understand what does "revisit" mean. Doesn't that mean to upload?

    Given the colourful nature of the build, this MOC would really benefit form being photographed a neutral coloured background. E.g. plain white.

    I agree, but I couldn't really find better background.

    I really like the sails. Must have taken a lot of time to tie all those knots.

    Yeah. I've also added two flags recently. Now there are 3 left.

    Lovely ship! Love the angles for the back, and the rigging and sails are absolutely stunning! Creations like this remind me about how no matter how limited the brick supply is, there is always beautiful things you can create! :laugh:

    Thank you!
