Legofin2012 Posted July 23, 2013 Ok, don't really build pirate stuff but someone I know has a big box of mixed lego, and told me I could take what I wanted from the box. In the box I was surprised to find a nearly complete Imperial trading post with minifigs, and after rebuilding it, it got me in the mood for building pirate stuff, like a boat to go with the port. But I have no prefabricated hull pieces, was going to buy some, but think I'd prefer making one my self..... So would like to know if anyone has any tips, or even instruction on how to build just the hull? Thanks in advance for any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piratedave84 Posted July 23, 2013 I found several templates on LDD (Via the TLC site) of brick-built hulls. I have one model that uses one and could send you the .lxf file, if you are interested just shoot me a PM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legofin2012 Posted July 23, 2013 A link to the one via TLC site, and maybe the .lxf file too, would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reagan Youth Posted July 23, 2013 I did a little brick built hull for a ship recently, I used slopes and SNOT but you can just stagger regular bricks outward if you don't have the appropriate parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebeus I Posted July 23, 2013 I have building instructions for this ship: But you may want something bigger... if interested, here's the lxf file The easiest way to make a costum hull is sculpturing one with basic bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legofin2012 Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Thanks to both of you, I will buy a prefab hull for a bigger pirate ship, but will probably use Sebeus's one for a smaller blue coat ship. Probably wouldn't have the right amount of brown slopes for Reagan's though. Edited July 26, 2013 by Legofin2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
