I present to you the beginning of the works of my second project inspired by the black Pearl. https://ibb.co/dDx2kDj https://ibb.co/Z2zFNDz

It's finish....

Yes you are right, however the limit I have set myself is that of not exceeding 75/80 cm. To make the hull with the same proportions as the real one I would have to add 2 more central sections and space the cannons at least 6 bricks (now 4). As for the trees, the sails and the shrouds, I prefer to do them live by assembling the pieces. If I had to increase the central sections of the ship I would have to reach 90 cm and then it becomes complicated if I have to insert it in a diorama :( If I keep these proportions, maybe I should move the last wing a little further back?
-
here is my final version of the black pearl hull. I still have to work on the masts and sails, but I prefer to deal directly with the assembly. Let me know what you think, A greeting Giuseppe
-
ok i try :) consider that the only change I made to the structure is that the distance between the guns has been reduced. For maximum accuracy I had to put six bricks between each cannon, instead of 4 (as I did) ... but I had to make this change to have the more contained measures :(
-
there is something that does not convince me in form, maybe I should slightly lower the aft cabin or maybe the bow that must be raised a little ... I'm trying to respect the dimensions of the original, but there is something out of place .... Maybe it should be a little longer? help me to see some errors in the shape of the hull please :)

Hello everybody, I share naval updates with you :) I'm quite satisfied with the shape, even if the scaling doesn't allow too many details to be entered. even the black color is a real problem when you want to enter the details ... at the moment the color of the bridge is dark gray, but in the end I will decide whether to change it to brown, then adjusting the cannons and the rest ... there are some things that are not definitive, such as the interior, the cannons and other details ... the interiors are still to be completed ... I accept advice, criticisms and everything you want to improve my work ... Ps: I am considering putting it on lego ideas once finished .... but I have to resize it because I'm already at 2800 pieces !!! A greeting joseph

Amazing... Fabulous ... How many pieces does it have? Why don't you try putting it on ideas?

Buying Pirate LEGO - where to buy, advice, tips and questions
peppe1983 replied to Mr. Smee's topic in LEGO Pirates
I ask you for help .... I'm always looking for lots to increase my "library" of pieces and minifigures. Does this seem like a good deal for 50 euros? -

Hi everyone and thank you for your answers. the project is going on with many difficulties, because of the small scale it is not easy to replicate the original model in every detail. As you can see from the new photos I modified the aft hull under the cabin, then I replaced the lego cannons with moc cannons. I am tempted to increase the space between the guns of two other bricks, but I should then redo everything. At the moment I am finishing the main structure, then I will move on to the details that will not be easy to bring out because of the black color of the ship :(. How does the ship look compared to minifigures? seems too small? The length of the model is about 63 cm (without the bowsprit) Any advice or criticism is welcome :) Sorry for the mistakes. Thank you
-
Thanks for your comments :). Consider that the bow is still missing to get the final length. As for the proportions (length and width), I should be very close to the real ones because I am following the construction plans of the wooden sailing ship. Then it may seem a little too high, but 2/3 bricks in height should not be considered because they will be covered by the water that represents the waterline. The mouths of the cannons seem to be slightly smaller and more spaced from each other ... But on this scale (about 1: 70), it cannot be done. While on a minifig scale everything can be done more precisely .... as long as you give up the lego hull ;) Thanks :)

Hi everyone, I take this topic to show the photo of my first ship which was completed in May. As you can see I chose the black color. The ship is actually not complete, some details are missing .... The trees must be improved and some details are missing on the bridge. However, this project will not be improved because in a few weeks a favor will be demolished for the new project I am already working on. What do you think about it?

Hi everyone, after having introduced myself I am here to share with you the construction of my first ship that still does not have a name. the base from which I started, as you can see from the hull, is the black pearl. the idea is to inspire me to the black pearl, but without faithfully creating the ship of the film .... in fact, my ship will be different both in form and colors. For the project, being a little expert, I started with the techniques of the captain green hair, which I thank very much for this resource. I do not pretend to create a historical ship, but a fantasy ship that is, however, realistic. The ship "should" be a cross between a small frigate and a brig. The hull includes the bow, 3 intermediate sections, while the stern will be made only with the pieces I have available. At the moment the armament provides 12 guns, but I'm considering to insert others on a further bridge ... if I advance the pieces to build it :) I share with you the first images of this work, where you can see that the sides have been created, I still have to design the stern and the bow. I await from you, experts, a positive or negative opinion of the work done up to now and possible suggestions. thank you very much, Giuseppe

Hello everyone, my name is Giuseppe and I'm Italian, I've been following you for a long time ... Unfortunately I do not speak English very well and this has always hampered me a bit ... but now (with the help of the "holy" translator online) I hope to be part of this beautiful community:) ... I am 36 years old and from a curve a couple of years I have resumed the passion for lego .... It all started with the idea of ?? set pirates of 2015 and begin this hobby ... However at the time only modern pirates collections (2009, 2015, and something POTC) .... 2.years ago I made the moc of an island ... Now I'm trying to make a ship through the beautiful technique of the captain green hair ... but I'm still on the high seas: D .... So I'm happy to be here and as soon as possible I'll show you what my job ... I definitely have a lot to improve with respect to your works of art:) ... Thank you all, see you soon :)

italiano Hi everyone, I'll update you on the ship. At the moment I finished the sides, the stern and the bow. The sides are of two different colors .... I can't make up my mind :). What does the shape of the ship look like and which color (of the side) do you prefer? I enclose photos ... Thank you all https://imageshack.us/i/plu4zwqKj https://imageshack.us/i/pmtxRJguj https://imageshack.us/i/poapn2E4j https://imageshack.us/i/pmIlQXWCj https://imageshack.us/i/plBwXFB7j https://imageshack.us/i/pl03yU1uj

Hi guys, I made some progress, I even finished the stern and almost finished the bow ... I did the sides of different colors, because I can't decide on the final coloring :) I await your positive or negative feedback regarding the topic and colors before moving on .... I also have 2 doubts about the construction: 1) How can I join the normal sides to those that are positioned on the jumpers? 2) Is there a clean way to join the last sloping sides (thanks to the hinges) with the bow?
-
Thanks Captain ... I went a little further into the building .... But I have doubts ..
-
beautiful, congratulations ... it's better than a wooden model !!!! masterpiece

Hi guys, then I went ahead in the construction, I started designing the stern. I'm going freehand, looking at the MOCs and photos of real ships. I would like an opinion on how the temporary version of the stern is coming from the side of the ship. The version of the stern is still temporary, especially in the colors of the connection between the stern and side, which must be adjusted to soften the gap between black and gray. A greeting, joseph I try to post photos with image shack stern from behind https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/114/Ca6OPa.jpg

Thank you Deraven I am happy to have joined your community :D Yes, in fact the photos are too small, the next I will post with that method. Meanwhile, I wanted to ask a question about the construction. Since for the sides I used the technique of hinges and jumper ... How do I connect all the sections of wall where there is the difference of half plate forward? (because of the jumper)

Tnk you :)
