Chenben Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) Hi all I will show you "Le Prométhé". You have seen the work in progress in this thread : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17453 I have lengthen the ship and it's now a 32 cannons fregate. I have begin to make lighter cannons for the deck, but only because i'm out of parts :s I have to change the foresail and mizzen masts because they appears strange and make a small parrot for the foresail mast and parakeet sail for the mizzen. Now time for the pics ;) Edited August 19, 2008 by Chenben Quote
Dreamweb Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) That's a magnificent vessel! I really love the colour scheme with the big amount of brown - makes it very realistic. The stern is also great. I'm not really convinced with those custom sails though - they look quite worn. But the overall look of the hull is really nice. Edited July 3, 2008 by Dreamweb Quote
Chenben Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 The realistic look it's very important for me, so i have wanted to use a lot of brown :) Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted July 3, 2008 Eurobricks Emperor Posted July 3, 2008 What a wonderful ship. It's got an excellent color schema, very good looking sails, rigging. It's only missing some colorful flags and a crew Quote
Norrington Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 That is a fine piece of work, my good man. Are aany more ships in the works? Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 That is a beautiful ship. On the same note as Norrington, do you have any other works? Quote
Chenben Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Yes, i have in mind to do an light goelette with the armada flagship base (the narrow boat base) in blue and white scheme as a rapid ship. Something like a royal sloop. And i will continue to upgrade this fregate and had details and work on the masts to do something more realistic. The crew is ready but they are waiting for the official launch of the boat :p Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 NIce work Chenben, good colorscheme, nice sloping wals, nice headrails, nice...love it! Only improvement i can think of is at the stern. It might look better when you either raise a part of the rear deck and the walls, or lower the stern to give the ship a better line at the rear. Keep it up! Quote
BlueBard Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Amazing work! Nice color scheme, impressive sails, and a lovely back. Quote
Chenben Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 Hi all. I have updated the vessel. You will can seen new masts, sails and ropes. I have somes details to do yet, but i'm working on an other project too Quote
Gen. Knowledge Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I really liked your ship from the beginning, but like it more with the updates. Great job! Tony Quote
Chenben Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 I only realize my boat don't have rudder :pir-grin: Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted August 19, 2008 Governor Posted August 19, 2008 This is a marvelous creation! I don't think I've seen it before. How did I miss it? Never mind that! I'll flag it as frontpage material! Quote
Captain K. Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 This is a very beautiful ship. I like it! The colour scheme is very excellent! Capt. K. Quote
Manta Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Thats an awesome ship, the amount of brown and custom sails make it look like a battle worn vessel. I also like the Cannon holes on the side. Pirates on! Quote
Chenben Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 The ship have his crew now ! I will do somes flags and a sticker with his name on the stern Quote
Capn Frank Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 It's looking very nice so far Chenben. This entire ship is very realistic looking. Is there a particular ship you're basing this ship off of? Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 An awesome ship! I really like the brown colour and the stern Great job! Quote
Zorro Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 A great lookin ship! Fine details and a beautifull hull, a real looking French ship ! BTW: Are those pics taken in your garden?? I read your from Paris and I didnt know Paris' Outskirts had such a fantastic view . It looks like you are in a mountain area. Quote
Guss Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 nice ship ! ^^ it's nice to see more views of it, I like how it looks. do you have a Brickshelf gallery with more pictures ? Quote
El Bucanero Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Your ship is getting better and better ChenBen! The colourscheme is way better than before. Besides, there's not that many ships with so many brown in the colourscheme. Nice! My only remark would still be the stern. It's just something I can't put my finger on. As soon as I know what it is, I will let you know! Quote
Admiral Rodgers Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I built a ship using this design a few weeks before joining this site {based on yours}. It's got 46 cannons and is 7 midsections long. Problem is I don't know how to add MOCs please help! Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Hello Admiral Rodgers, and welcome to Eurobricks and Classic-Pirates.com! To post a MOC in the forum, all you need do is start a new topic (button on top right of forum) and insert your images. To do that, you should see this tutorial. But ensure that you're starting a topic in the MOC forum! Quote
Ratshot Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) I would suggest resizing your images to 800x600 , it took me a while to be able to see them. Your ship looks great and I would suggest that you make your avatar off that evil looking general And are those sails made out of kleenex? Broadside. Edited March 30, 2009 by Broadside Quote
RocketSeason Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Looks great! I am digging the deck for sure. Quote
