Captainkiwi Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) I started this 2 days after I took apart my first ship, The HMS Royale. I used some of the same features, but Incorperated some new things like the slanted stern, new sail arrengement, and another mast. The name "Vigilant" is a french word meaning "A watchful eye" I thought it was a nice name for a Privateer. Deeplinking didn't work for me, so I just put the links here. Enjoy! overview: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4405466 stern: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4405468 figurehead, a one eyed bull (relates to the name) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4405470 broadside: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4405470 deck: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4405472 side shot: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4405475 Another shot of the deck: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4405477 side of the stern: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4405482 The captain in his cabin: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4405485 Some goods : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4405487 I hope you enjoyed this one. I'll probably keep it alive for a bit longer. Edited March 27, 2010 by Captainkiwi Quote
Vexxion Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Very Nice. I like the captain. Man, I got to get some Pirate sets. Quote
Ratshot Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Here, I'll deeplink them for you. Here's a tutorial on how to post and deeplink an image, I'd advise you to read it Overall it looks like a pretty good ship, I'm digging the color scheme Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 A very nice build Captain! The coloursheme is really appealing to me. The sails are very nice too! Your stern technique has improved a lot I see. Perhaps you can add a little more detail like flowers and such though, but the shape is very nice! The two cannons at the back are a nice touch, and I like the figurehead. The French flag looks great too. I see you have some excellent reference sources! Master and Commander and Napoleon Total War!

Ratshot Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 I know its a bit off topic but is Napoleon Total War any fun? Quote
the_green_avenger Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 I know its a bit off topic but is Napoleon Total War any fun? ummm, I'm kinda going back and forth between whether or not I should buy it. It recieved an 8 from 'the press', which is kinda on the line between buy and nye. Here is a review from IGN If I were you I'd go for it, because I can see your interested in the Napoleonic Era, and likely strategy games... Quote
Fires-storm Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 A very nice MOC, a truly lovely frigate to be sure, I love all the tile in front of the captain in the next to last pic, a very nice touch. Keep bricking! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Great ship 'CaptainKiwi' - fantastic number of sails and excellent colours, plus details right down to the row boat and the humble French captain. Awesome build and I'm a conformist! 'CaptainKiwi' I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Capt. Stabbin Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Nice ship!!! I really like the colors! I would prefer a little tumblehome, but other than that she is a beautiful ship!! Keep bricking! Quote
Captainkiwi Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 I know its a bit off topic but is Napoleon Total War any fun? I think it's quite fun for a strategy game. It takes some time to get used to it though. Thanks for deeplinking my pictures!!! Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 I think it can't turn out very badly when you're using M&C and N:TW for reference. And you have proved it The stern is nice and so are the sails. I also like the chess-pattern in the cabin (I've put it in my ship as well ) I'm only missing the things to shut the gun ports with. For the rest it's great! And do you have a crew yet? Quote
Captain Becker Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 beatifull, i like it very much, and the stern and figurhead is absolutly lovley, Great work mate keep it up Captain Becker Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 This is actually a very nice MOC, so: Keep an eye on the frontpage Quote
Captainkiwi Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) This is actually a very nice MOC, so: Keep an eye on the frontpage Does this mean I've been frontpaged?!? Edited March 28, 2010 by Captainkiwi Quote
Ratshot Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 If I were you I'd go for it, because I can see your interested in the Napoleonic Era, and likely strategy games... I'll ask for it for my Birthday and yes, I'm a big strategy gamer. Age of Empires III etc. Does this mean I've been frontpaged?!? It means that your ship has been featured on the Classic-Pirates blog Quote
General Redwater Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Very nice ship! I really like the colors especially the yellow. Quote
ikensall Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) Nice ship!!! I really like the colors! I would prefer a little tumblehome, but other than that she is a beautiful ship!! Keep bricking! A ctually i prefer things without a tumble home evenn though less reallistic the sides always look more solid and tradinshonal (spellings wrong i know). Edited April 3, 2010 by ikensall Quote
Hound Knight Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Another fine ship we have here, great job all 'round! The captain in his cabin:http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4405485 I see you have made me the captain of Le Vigilant, thank you very much sir! Quote
Captainkiwi Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 Another fine ship we have here, great job all 'round! I see you have made me the captain of Le Vigilant, thank you very much sir! Ha! I just realized that now! Well you are very welcome Quote
