Admiral M Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) Nice ship! I like the shape, but I think it would be better in a color scheme like BB- more brown, tan, maybe black and yellow. I like the printed sails, and as always, the customized minifigs. The ship design is good, though. Is this your first MOC ship? Edited May 1, 2009 by Admiral M Quote

Yes, this is my first MOC ship, It was quite challenging as I have no actual pirate ship sets. Hence the red color scheme. Quote
Admiral M Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) Yes, I worked on my second MOC ship recently. Don't dispair, the second ship you make is always better than your first (and judging on this ship, I'd say that the second well be better than great). Edited May 1, 2009 by Admiral M Quote
Joey Lock Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Oh we are going to OWN the French now! I guess its cause people relate Battleships to the Royal Navy, Did the french navy even have a name? Never Fear, Oblivious is here! That sounds good. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 All the minifig.'s are very nice, but indeed the ship could be better Well, without any good shipparts you still did a good job. But you should buy some real shipparts to make this MOC even better. good luck Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 I remember my own first self made LEGO pirate ship. You've done a good job for your first boat! The ship could do with more colours and details to add a nice feeling to it. So I would say: Add some more details to the cabin, make fences on the forecastle and some ropes (custom perhaps) to flourish it up! Great work so far! Quote

We bluecoats are still undergoing a great debate if we are French, Americans, or something else. So, the politically correct term is blue coat. Thank you very much. We also have our own civil rights group, the NAABC The National Association for the Advancement of Blue Coats. Quote

Hound Knight Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 We shall raid your Party Meetings! H'm, that sounds like fun! Thanks for the comments guys! Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 We shall raid your Party Meetings! Remember our fleet is at it's full strength, your ship is still in the dockyard, and so do others. We will give you a warm welcome. I hope this ship is quickly finished Hound Knight! Nice avatar you got there. Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 We bluecoats are still undergoing a great debate if we are French, Americans, or something else. I happen to have it on the highest of authority that the bluecoats are infact British Royal Navy. I like the ship. It is way better than I could do if I ever try to build one from scratch. The red is a little hard on the eye's but I imagine it makes it way easier to swab the decks after a bloody battle. Good job Quote

Commodore Hornbricker Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Queen...She has no authority...I was speaking of me! Quote

Good job Wait, Your saying Bluecoats the the Royal Navy? That makes no sense? Or am I getting it wrong? Quote
Admiral M Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Yep. It's debatable, but the Royal Navy did have bluecoat sailors. Elite regiments and officers sometimes wore blue, and in formal ceremonies you didn't see very much red. Quote
