I guess slashes would work :-D the HMS Implacable/Duguay Trouin *y* P

Woah! Lots of replies after a long night of homework and sleeping 8-

39d Since the voting is almost done for the Halloween contest, I'll post some more pics of my ship that was in the entry X-D My ship's design is based off of the Half Moon Replica (the website) This was a dutch exploration ship from the early 1600's and is about the same size as my model. *y* As a refresher, here be thumblinks, in order, that i submitted in the contest: And a couple of thumblinks of the crew: Since Mr. Phes, ZCerberus, and I are off driving around in the warthog, i had to get some other ppl to show off this MOC X-D First off, the stern. I was influenced by Mr. Tiber's latest ship design, so i had my entire stern be removable. And who other to help show this than Mr. Tiber himself, with the assistance of Norrington, Evil Willy, and ApophisV: Here're some views of the backside of the stern: One thing i REALLY like about this ship are the crows nest. The one on the mizzen mast isn't that good so i won't get a very good close-up of it. :-P I used bricks like this: instead of these: Here's the view of the bow: Here's the gangway and gun deck. In the thumblinks below, you can see that the gun deck is removable: Then, here's a side view and closeups: Almost done Just gotta get a quick view of the ppl that showed off this ship and a closeup of the cannons: Finally done, now you can comment on it or just leave. :-P Have a great day! P

How about the HMS Implacable, formally the Duguay Trouin? that makes sense to me :-$ P

Americans beware?! X-O Don't they need a ship :-P How may troops are in South Essex now? That's a very impressive force you've got there *y* P

What else needs to be done in this MOC besides vegetation? P

If the treasure chest turns out to be a set let me know somebody so i can take it out of the Accessory Index :-$ Thanx for sharing these Mr. oDDerFisken *y* The small blue parrot's my favorite :-) Added the mini-ship into the Index of MOC Ships and the other 2 (1) creations are in the Accessory Index. P Phredit: The chest was a promotional set so omitted it from the Accessory MOC index

Added this MOC to the Index of Land-based MOCs Keep us posted of your expansions of MOC Mr. radar92 ;-) Great work on this project so far. *y* P

Maybe a small nation could have bought it and refurbished it and sell back to the UK when they weren't so broke for a higher price :-P Thanx for sharing Mr. Ruben. *y* Down the road i love to make a ship of the line, i'm going to have to chose carefully though cause i'd like to make a HMS Sophie from M & C after the constitution is made. Shouldn't take too long though cause the Sophie is a much smaller brig than the "super-frigate" i'm working on now. :-$ Anyways, maybe someone that's a fan of france could make one X-D P

Great work Mr. Chenben *y* Very impressive expansion :-) The three colors of walls seem to flow together very nicely. Is that a sabre island and an armada sentry on the end there? I'll add this to Land Based MOC index very soon Think it's going in the Harbor section with the cannon fortifications and the lighthouse and storage building. P

The link's not public :'-( You have a direct-link? P

No worries X-D It's the same 8x8 green brick i used in version 1.0 ;-) I'll keep the landscape i have now, want to get on to bigger projects. Got the last 4 pics replaced, will re-do the first 2 real soon. (hopefully 8-| ) I'll be more careful with vigish entries in the future :-) P

I still had my question from today in this post :-$ I had gotten some pics online with a smaller landscape that i was thinking i should change. Here's a couple: pic1 pic2 P

Sorry, been busy It is on an 8x8 brick, but i think i agree with ppls views of how non-VIGish my entry is. Is it ok if i remake the landscape only? P

I don't know how you can be sick of looking at it X-O X-D Thanks for the compliment :'-) P

I like the 16x16 rule thingy (for future contests i suppose) I'm not a big fan of building actual 8x8 vigs. 8-| But i like seeing 8x8 vigs that're created X-D and have been impressed by many *y* Didn't want Sir Nadroj mad at me :-$ Since i usually don't like making vigs, i pushed the rules a bit 8-| although hinckley did say we could make vigs bigger :-P P

Is this moc complete? I'm having a hard time telling right now *wacko* P

Hey that's pretty close to what we've got in wisconsin. Where do ya live? Here's a pic of some of our wildlife :-D P

I voted X-D Yesterday 8-| But here's who i voted for: Scariest went to Pig's entry: I'd be really really scared in my ship if an octopus that big came at me. Best built went to oo7: Very intricately and well built moc *y* Best over all went to Cap'n Sly Owl: The islander in the sand won me over :-D Great work over all folks *y* P

Great pic Double-O *y* Thanx for making it. P Edit: I was going to ask IS to use that pic, but i see he's already got one. I don't know if IS's collage was there before 8-|

No, Mr. Z. you're still closer. I'm in the southwestern tip of WI. :-P Not that i have anything against canadians though X-D P

Holy cow! 10 pages X-O and 17(ish) entries! A lot of ppl must like the new skelies just as much as i do. X-D Oh yeah, my entry has been entered :-) P

Ever get trapped by a group of skelies with your friends, ZCerberus and Mr. Phes? And traditional weapons just ain't cutting it?!? Well have no fear! Just call in a UNSC Pelican Dropship to drop off the M12 Warthog LRV. You'll prefer this weapon over anything you've ever used before. Comes fully loaded with a M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun and a M19 SSM Rocket Launcher. Also, if you don't want to shoot the skelies, the Warthogs rugged frames allows you to ram skelies right into boulders with very little harm to the Warthog itself. Not only will skelies no longer be a problem. You may even go searching for them for fun. Just don't forget to bring your friends in on the fun. ;-) Now we have room for one more picture. Lets get a view of the evil skelies and the now much happier Mr. Phes, ZCerberus, and me. X-D Just so ppl know, i did copy portions of another Warthog that i like A LOT from brickshelf. 8-| The person's username is mikepsiaki and here's a link to their BS folder. I changed mine a lot due to brick limitations and construction preferences. Hopefully it's ok. :-$

Since Z lives in Minnesota, i'm pretty sure it's USD. ;-) Then again, he may be dangerously close to Canada, so it may be canadian dollars 8-| P

I was thinking of starting a thread on the ship once the competition was over. ;-) Looking forward to your ship, feel free to start a progress thread about this ship you're talking about HMS243 *y* P
