CelesAurivern Posted January 11, 2016 This light vessel is Lenny's first ship for his voyage into the vast unknown reaches beyond the Terraversa Sea. Expanded view of Scene 2 from the main story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted January 11, 2016 Nice ship, but IT deels a bit out of proportion... Try to make the behind a bit lower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CelesAurivern Posted January 11, 2016 The poop deck is deliberately made extra tall to get that comical feel. Similar to what TLC did for QAR :D The next ship will be less exaggerated though :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxim I Posted January 11, 2016 Nice little Cog, Well succeeded in the comical feel! My advice would be having some overhang so the poop deck doesn't look like a small unsteady tower but more like a real castle. It also misses a fore castle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CelesAurivern Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks for the suggestions. Will take them into account for the 'rebuild' (no spoilers yet!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxim I Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks for the suggestions. Will take them into account for the 'rebuild' (no spoilers yet!) Perfect! About the overhang, I was also thinking about sideways overhang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted January 11, 2016 Clever. I think you made a "chibi" ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted January 11, 2016 Cute little cog and a great example of a class 1 vessel! I need to know where that boathull is from! The rigging is nice, but I would also suggest reviewing the aftcastle. I'd suggest a lower and wider structure, and to let it overhang backwards more too. I think it would give a vessel in more balance. Possibly make the transition between deck and quarterdeck a bit more fluent, but I definitely see how this is a sort of caricature on the early age of sail carracks! Great job, and looking forward to seeing what adventures this vessel will take them on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CelesAurivern Posted January 11, 2016 You mean the source of the prefab hull? It was released in brown in one of the early adventurer sets, amazon temple, I think. I think paradisa or belville also had it in different colours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted January 11, 2016 What a lovely small ship! I always wanted to build small ships out of the bigger prefab rowboat piece. I have yet to acquire such a piece myself. And your version is a bulky one! This i like the most :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted January 12, 2016 Love the chibi feel here, and that guy up in the castle grinning like crazy as they sail out into the "great unknown" in that ship is really hilarious as well! I like the billowing out sail and the chains too, and, as you were going for the comical look, I'm not sure I can give you much advice - you pretty much nailed it!

Gideon Posted January 12, 2016 Nice use of that prefab hull, I didn't know about it before The shipbuilding advice I leave to more seasoned shipbuilders, but I would like to let you know that the pictures would have looked better without the direct flash as it creates ugly shadows and reflections.

I agree that the flash is annoying. Will strip the film off for future shots. Or perhaps do up a photo booth. Unfortunately, all the equipment in the world cannot help my woeful photography skills.

Captain Dee Posted January 12, 2016 I like the whimsical feel of this - and it makes a good caricature, to borrow from prior comments. It reminds me a lot of the illustrations from a children's book about the early explorers. And it looks like a fun play piece, but maybe that's just the little boy in me... The photography doesn't do it much justice though. The flash reflection is messy but I see it's already been addressed. Good start and I look forward to what you build next.
