Hi! My new ship I built some time ago: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=567121

Darn, it got sold 2 hours ago... Sorry Anyways, glad You like it as well! I might build annother one in a few weeks, I'll be sure to post it here as well :)

Glad You like it :)

106D Hi! I have finally managed to make some photos of my ship. It is a Polish frigate named Johannes Casimirus Rex after one of Polish kings from XVII century. It took me almost half a year to make it, and I still think she needs more work. But after 3month exhibition in Gdańsk I'm not gonna change anything, so here are the photos: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=475890 The rigging and sails are custom (and a pain in the neck), although i'm not happy with the sails at all. There is no interior, but there will be in my next ship :) A lot credit goes to Cpt Green Hair for his tutorial and a few helpful words. Thanx! http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/MOCs/Pirate-MOCs/ORP-Jan-Kazimierz/pict1758.jpg

I build it over 5months, and it took me around 2 full days to make the rigging... I finished it at 4am before the exhibition in Gdańsk :)

Dzięki :) The yellow colour is a cheaper substitute for pearl gold... and as i have some trouble with destinguishing colours i did not see a problem with the browns :P

Although Gdynia did not yet exist in XVIII it is where she is anchored. The rigging is exactly in a colour i wanted :)

The problem i see with them is that they have some space between each brick, those, old ones dont have it that big.

Thanks :) Her name is: OJKM (=HMS) Johannes Casimirus Rex. Im already planning another one but i need to wait for the exhibition to end, as i need to use my parts (again...)

I finished the ship. It's not as good as i liked it to be, but i still like her :) i didn't do any photos yet, as it's on our exhibition, but here are some photos from it (more will come in around 3 months):

I had a feeling that the masts are to tall, i'll lower them today. I'll also try to move the front a little backwards, although i'll have to change something to give it more stability. I won't change the stern, I like it :) but I know what you mean, I had to do it like this to keep the cost of the project lower. Next one will be better. And it still looks much better than my first one which i couldn't post because of the way it looked like :P About 50% of the ship is from parts I already had, and the money I spend on it was only around 40-60GBP. Unfortunately I have to finish her before 8.07 because we(LugPol) are making an exhibition in Gdansk, which You are all of course welcome to visit :)

OK, thanx :) I can put some pictures if you like, but they will be cell-phone quality EDIT: Sorry for the size, and quality, better will be available next week. The figurehead is only temporary :P http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/MOCs/Pirate-MOCs/ORP-Jan-Kazimierz/image0030.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/MOCs/Pirate-MOCs/ORP-Jan-Kazimierz/image0032.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/MOCs/Pirate-MOCs/ORP-Jan-Kazimierz/image0033.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/MOCs/Pirate-MOCs/ORP-Jan-Kazimierz/image0034.jpg

Hi again! I have a small problem: The masts (the parts built with 11s high kolumns) are very fragile, I can't tilt the ship a few degrees, because the fall down. Is there a way to fix it? Maybe fitting in them a hose would work, as they have a hole going through them.

Thats a perfect explanation to a small problem :P Thanx

its hard to explain :P Birds eye's element. It looks like half of a circle, and if you cut it it would be either in a shape of an "O" or just half of it. I think you used it as BACK! :P Now i can see it... it's just a regular hose used as railing right? did u use a 1x1 cone with a robot hand for it?

I'm finally finishing mine, and i quite like how it looks like :) I'll try to post some pictures today. I have some questions tho. On the masts, the place where a sailor stays and shouts "LAAAAAND" etc :P How did you do it? There are some round parts I'm not familiar with. I cannot make it out of the photos in the thread.

Hi! Good work on the WIP, though I have to say, the cabin on the stern is way to small, try widen it (add 1 more window in the middle maybe?)

Lorenzen -3 Jansued - 4 Good Luck! I was hoping i would win :P

Wow :) I've been indexed:P I'm stunned and don't know what to say :P

98c FINAL EDIT: Hi again! as the contest is coming to an end I've finally made some photos of my vignette and post it here. I changed the older photos into links, not to trash the post So, here it is: "Quality time with friends" Cpt. Trubal and Cpt. Brickbeard usually act as a competition to each other. But, as it often happens, after work they happen to be very good friends. Both of them love their work, and also they both have similar hobbies. One of them is Fishing, which they like to do together. This time its cpt. Trubal who caught the fish, and Brickbeard grabbed the net to help him put it in the barrel... And NEW photos (6 photos for the competition): /////////////////////////////////////// The older versions:///////////////////////////////////////////////// Hi everybody! Finally I managed to join c-p.com! Last year I also wanted to join PTV Contest, but no time, and not enough bricks stopped me from doing it. Luckily i put myself together this year and decided to do something nice:) I applied some suggestions to my vig and here's what it looks like now: Second edit: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/M...l/2upgrade1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/MOCs/Pirate-MOCs/PTVII-Small/2upgrade2.jpg First edit: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/M...ll/upgrade1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/M...ll/upgrade2.jpg Original photos: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/M...VII-Small/1.jpg I have made this small vignette which I must say I am happy with. Some more pictures: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/M...VII-Small/2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/M...VII-Small/3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/M...VII-Small/4.jpg I especially like the water hitting the pillars: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/M...VII-Small/5.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/M...VII-Small/6.jpg

my pleasure, tho i still wouldnt cut my hand for it :P

There will be a thread opened called voting or sth like that. There you will post a post:) with sth ilke that: Someone - Moc1 Sometwo- Moc2 Somethree - Moc3 or something similar

I edited the first post, so go there to see the Final Version. Comments are welcome! Edit: Ah, i still have a month time :) Haha

Hi! I always wanted to make a ship, finally I started the build. As i dont have enough midsections yet I do it from the aft section. The rear wall and the captains cabin are something i can make just now with my number of bricks available. I must say that the CREDIT goes to cpt. Blackmoore, as Le Fourageux is a great inspiration for me. As for the name it's completely MOC :P as Polish navy was almost never too big or succesful (except the battle near Oliva of course). Jan Kazimierz (Johannes Casimirus in latin) Was a Polish King during Swedish Deluge, an invasion on Poland which took place in XVII century. Jan Kazimierz had to flee the Country to Silesia, but after a while when Swedish took more than they could hold he was able to return and liberate Poland and bring peace to the galaxy... erm... Poland with signing Oliva Pakt in 3 may 1660. Comment Please! :) I have made some hanges, and I think it looks better. I may even leave the black-yellow-white colours be. What do you think? First Update: only one picture now: Oh, and I think i will change the red windows into white ones to match the details, what do you think? Edit2: And i'm thinking about changing the colour scheme completely so She doesn't look like Blackmoores ships

I'm not a marinist in English, but i think that is correct :)
