An ordinary ship it might be, but it certainly is a realistic one! Nice rigging. Looking forward to see it with reefed sails. Glad to see you are still actively building.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Movie *Sneak Peak?*
Captain Edward posted a topic in LEGO Pirates
Hello fellow maties! Today, I'd like to show you one of my newest creations; A Green Screen Test. This test is just a test of course. What I'm going to do is to recreate a scene from Master And Commander, the Far Side of the World. Ships I already got, using a custom built french brig and the Imperial Flagship 6271 (From 1992). Now it's only the editing! A good friend of mine learned me how to green screen with Final Cut Pro. So here is the little test, hope you enjoy and stay tuned for updates! Tell me what you think! Regards, Captain Edward -
Brings back that nostalgia factor! Reminds me a bit of Captain Greenhair's tutorial on how to build a frigate.

[MOC] Charlemagne 74 gun ship of the line
Captain Edward replied to BrickDuvel's topic in Pirate MOCs
Gosh! That's not just a ship, that's a behemoth! Very well done. Are you thinking of making sails as well? It would take some time, but I think it would definitely improve the silhouette. -
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Movie *Sneak Peak?*
Captain Edward replied to Captain Edward's topic in LEGO Pirates
Oh that would be a dream come true! When I joined this forum I had always dreamt of being featured on classic-pirates.com, probably my favorite website when I was about 10 I have lost most of my photo's, I do have some but they are unedited. The closest that you could use would be this one, which you can download from flickr: Link: https://flic.kr/p/rXKqpG One thing to keep in mind is that this was made 6 years ago, and as I'm nearing 21 it does not really reflect what I would probably have made in the present. But, it seems people do really enjoy it, so I'm very glad (I shared this on a Patrick O Brian appreciation page on Facebook, and it was very well received by all the fans that were thrice my age haha) Should you have any questions, feel free to ask! - Jisk -
[VIDEO] Being Pirates - Stop Motion Series: THE MOVIE (all of season 1 as one movie)
Captain Edward replied to VaneStream's topic in LEGO Pirates
I love the little jokes here and there. It has been a while since a lego stop motion has made me laugh out loud. Stunning graphics as well! Looks very convincing and -in style- as it were. The "Unsinkable II" has to be my favourite pun, though. Oh, and "Barrk, Barrkk". -
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Movie *Sneak Peak?*
Captain Edward replied to Captain Edward's topic in LEGO Pirates
Hi all, Sorry to bump into this old topic, but for those interested I uploaded the film two years ago to Youtube. I had forgotten about this thread and I am not sure if I had already shared the brickfilm here (I am very inactive on this forum, I'm sad to say; there are so many beautiful ships and creations posted here regularly!). I was cleaning up my youtube channel and thought I'd share it with you all. So here it is, for those that haven't seen it yet! I was quite inexperienced when I made this, and I am not at all happy with how it's turned out, but for nostalgic reasons I decided to publish it anyway. Enjoy it for what it is; it was my first experience working with a green screen, and I thoroughly enjoyed the process. Kind regards and I hope you get to see me here more often! - Jisk -
STOPMOTION/BRICKFILM, Master and Commander : The Far Side of the World.
Captain Edward posted a topic in LEGO Pirates
Hi Eurobricks and swashbucklers. I haven't posted much of my own making in recent years, simply because well.. let's just say I'm a bit lazy. Sorry! Back in 2015-2016 when I was 15 -16 years old (I know, easy to remember) I started messing around a bit with a custom built ship and No. 6721 "Imperial Flagship" (which was one of the last second hand set I bought). It was also at that time I discovered the Aubrey-Maturin novels, and began devouring them in a way you don't expect from someone my age. I also found out a movie adaption was made, containing various elements from the novels. I watched it, and again, and again, and I became a bit obsessed with the story and historical accuracy. And I was (and still am) a lego fan. So 1+1 is 2, ey? I grabbed a green robe and tried recreating a scene! Thanks to a friend who helped me with final cut pro and my mother for sewing the sails, I am very glad I can present to you a movie I should've released three years ago! Here's something I had much fun working on, with vague images, laughable special effects and the occasional video thrown in. Please enjoy. I hope I inspire someone to make a perfect version of this. Kind regards, Captain Edward, or on youtube: Jiskpirate P.S. Be sure to check out my older animations on my channel, with some being reasonably successful, although not too good. For me, my channel is one big plaza of nostalgia. -
STOPMOTION/BRICKFILM, Master and Commander : The Far Side of the World.
Captain Edward replied to Captain Edward's topic in LEGO Pirates
Also, should I post this in 'Bricks Flicks & Comics' forum too? Am I allowed to post the same thing twice? -
Finally, it's finished! I remember that old video you posted. Did that lego ideas ever really got off? We need a Flying Dutchman set really.

MOC: Le Fleuron, 1729 third rate French ship of the line.
Captain Edward replied to Captain Green Hair's topic in Pirate MOCs
Oh how very delighted to see work from you again! I remember you back in the day making great mocs that were for its time outstanding (and still do look impressive). To see a built which is modern in a sense and very accurate to the real life counterpart from you, is a very nice surprise. Amazing how you managed to make such a convincing build out of a standard hull. Would be nice to see it with everything under the waterline. -
[MOC] Circa 1712 36-gun East Indiaman 'Duke of York"
Captain Edward replied to ProvenceTristram's topic in Pirate MOCs
That would actually make for a good set to sell! I would buy it most definitely. I saw the Götheborg at the Amsterdam sail 2010, and this absolutely captures her likeness. Yes, this should be a set. -
Very nice smooth shape! Would almost beg you to make an actual 18th century ship out of it. Show us how you did that curvature on the vessel!

Hi there,
I thought I'd lost you! I have fond memories as a kid watching your lovely star wars and indiana jones themed three part series in lego. I was wondering where did they go? I couldn't find your channel and videos anymore (they were at the top when you searched "Lego Pirates") but all of the sudden I remembered your name and got on this profile.
Kind regards,
Jisk

Wow, your first MOC? It looks like a professional build. Very nice, well thought of. The rigging fits, the tops look great and the interiors are very smooth. I'm really surprised this is a first for you. Well done.

[MOC] USS Poseidon - Minifig Scale First Rate Ship of the Line
Captain Edward replied to shiplover's topic in Pirate MOCs
Good god, it is finished! The rigging looks stunning. Must've been a frustrating couple of weeks. -
MOC: Le Fleuron, 1729 third rate French ship of the line.
Captain Edward replied to Captain Green Hair's topic in Pirate MOCs
Absolutely brilliant! It's been a while since I've seen another brilliant MOC build ship. This one is stunning, with the huge resemblance of the original model. Well done on this one -
[MOC] Fantasy medieval house front
Captain Edward replied to ranghaal's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Really wondering how it doesn't fall apart! A very impressive build, capturing a very nice fantasy feel. Straight out of Lord of the Rings or something of the sort. -
I hope one will forgive me from bringing this topic up again, but after some time of inactivity on the forums and returning once again I find myself greeted again by old veterans that were always such huge sources of inspiration for me. I am so very delighted to see you, Sebeus, giving us this beautiful cinematic masterpiece. Not only is the build of the fourth rate (?) absolutely astonishing (good god that stern) but the photography of the whole set is art in itself. The beautiful atmosphere, the tension, the smoke.. It all works! Now of coruse I'm going to whine about the British getting beaten here because.. Well.. They are the bes... Not going down that road Well done and I'm glad so many of you are still alive, like Admiral Bejaune, which I came to know about when I spend ages on Classic-Pirates.com. Kind regards, Edward

Good god! Seeing the whole fleet together is absolutely pleasin' to the eye! Since I live relatively close to Antwerp, I would've loved to see this. Sadly, I didn't. Notify me when you do something like this again. Also lovely the tutorial frigate gets to see the light of day once again. Never thought I'd be reminded of its existence!
-
Ah yes, a fine 17th century ship! Just hoist the Dutch colors and attack the English, I say. I really like how you rounded off the stern, and didn't use the big basic parts people commonly use. Looks great!

Building project of the dutch 2nd rate ship of the line "De Zeven Provinciën''.
Captain Edward replied to Admiral NB's topic in Pirate MOCs
Hello there! I am very fond of the Dutch shipwrights and did a big paper on the 17th century ship art. The Dutch shipwrights were truly magnificent. If you have any questions about certain parts of the ship, do ask, and I'm sure you already visited the Bataviawerf ;) Best of luck! -
Great scot! Blimey, this is amazing! I had seen something like this before, so I went on a search party and found your MOC pages profile, and I had it right. You are that awesome guy who makes these completely accurate ship-hulls out of lego. Your ships of the line are stunning. Chapeau, mate! I know this technical drawing myself, since I tried to recreate it with a 3D program, and I must congratulate you on this accuracy. I don't think there's a better model. The detail on the decks, the red under the gunports, the guns itself, as if somebody picked a few pixels and made an unsharp photograph of the ship itself. You're really good.
-
I'm glad you're still around. I haven't been online since 2016 but I've been around since 2011 and more and more veterans don't show up anymore.
Are you working on something new? Your ships of the line were beautiful.
-
Haha, the die-hard Captain Edward. Good to hear from you.
And thanks for the praise. New stuff... well, yes, plenty, in fact. But not in the Pirate Forum. I've found a new home among the Brethren of the Brick Seas. Still building ships - smaller ones up to frigate size so far - but some escalation is immanent
Feel free to stop by, and have a look around - there's a lot to be discovered from a lot of amazing builders and story-tellers.
With Phred and Sebeus there are two more veterans active, and maybe we'll get you, too
Cheers, Captain!

Stunning. The classics aren't gone yet. Classic-Pirates.com needs some activity since these vessels need to be secured and indexed!
