Merged! Thank you for informing us of your latest set purchases. I've merged this topic with the relevant mega-topic.

I would love to see more pictures. Close ups everywhere. She is a beauty. Does it have an interior?

Them are the ones.

I've got a bunch of native Americans that I would like to incorporate into a trading outpost in the interior of the colonies.

Yellow is realistic. Check out this topic . Hope that helps.

Commander Turtle and I have each created a Ship Wreck Point entry for Category B. Commander Turtle created the Space Pirates entry, and I create the Classic Pirates entry. The best and easiest place to search for Pirate Treasure is at a ship wreck. Pirates have known this for hundreds of millennium. Unfortunately, sharks have a keen sense to finding these wrecks first, which hampered salvage efforts eons ago. Now in the age of interplanetary travel, genetically mutated sharks join pirates in search of bountiful booty to be buried in an asteroid or spent at the nearest port.

They found the wreck. Sharks are really good at finding these wrecks. The Captain of the vessel has been found. It looks like he has been there a while. Here's a shot of the whole crew included in this set. Here are additional pictures of the set. Engine Pic 1 Engine Pic 2 Thanks for checking out Space Pirates - Ship Wreck Point. Now lets have a little history lessen to see how it went in the first Golden Age of Piracy. The salvage crew found Ship Wreck Point finally! Unfortunately, a shark beat them there, so they better not fall in. Here they are, checking out the ship wreck. The Captain of the vessel has been found. It looks like he has been there a while. Here's a shot of the crew included in this set. Here are additional pictures of the set. Ship Overview Pic 1 Ship Overview Pic 2 Thanks for checking out Ship Wreck Point. Don't forget to vote!

Just so you know, there are some real life vessels the size of the BSB that have a tiller, so Captain Dee was giving you some good advice. The Friends Good Will uses a tiller. I've seen it myself.

Sorry about rattling off a bunch of ship terms. Lateen rigged sails are triangle shaped. Gaff rigged sails are trapezoidal. Forecastle is the top of the bow or front. The mizzen mast is at the rear, the main mast is the tallest, typically middle mast, and the fore mast is at the front. Hopefully that helps. If you're looking to build a ship with three, square-rigged masts, from the late 1700's ship, then you're most likely going to be building a Corvette or a Frigate. It will be a lot easier to find examples of frigates than corvettes. The HMS Rose, which was used on Master and Commander, was a replica of a ship like the HMS Surprise. Looking for deck plans for either of these ships should yield fruitful results. Here's the best image I've found so far for a profile view of the HMS Surprise. The upper open deck and gun deck both contain gun ports, but you can see that the gun ports are staggered so that not one gun port is directly above the other. There's an old Reference Material for Creating More Realistic Ships topic you may want to check out too. You don't have to use the exact same hinges as Commander Red Hat's tutorial for the providing slope on the hull. You could use: or or + Or a variation of these. Use what you got the most of. You will likely need a bunch of these for the bow: You can also do something completely different too. It looks like the original Götheborg is from the mid-1700's. I really like the triangle sail in the rear mast.

That is one set I don't own. The BSB is my favorite. Part nostalgia, and part great set. There is not much modification needed to switch it between a pirate, imperial guard, or merchant vessel, which I think fits nicely with actual ships. As a set, I think its construction and piece usage is better than the Bounties and POTC ship sets. I guess I'll have to stop Phrediting my posts and just try editing them.

You really need to be reading the Site Guidelines before making posts. Site Guidelines state that "Selling, self promotion and promoting" is not allowed, and we expect your typing to be clear and precise when posting and use correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Merge! You need to use the search function next time.

Merged! Talk about an age old question in the pirate forum. I am curious if you done a search before starting your topic? This poll has been modified to include the Imperial Armada.

I really like the colors used. There is a lot of different colors being used, but they all seem to come together very nicely. Nice piece usage on the stern. I never thought to use upside-down wings. I will have to steal borrow that technique. What era of ship are you trying to make? Ships of the 1500's to 1600's had high forecastles and sterns above the main gun decks. They also had a lateen rigged sail on the back one or two masts and had 3-4 masts. Like this. Ships of the late 1700's and early 1800's were flush decked, where the stern and bows are not raised and the captain's cabin is at the same level as the gun deck(s). They also had 3 masts with a gaff rig sail on the mizzen mast. Like this. I think your ship is not as curvy as she needs to be. Dunkleosteus created a tutorial that talks about what curves are needed on a ship, which is harder on a prefab hull vessel. Captain Green Hair Commander Red Hat created a tutorial on how to build in most of these curves onto a prefab hull that I think you should check out.

Those are the same. Between my 4 year old daughter and I, we have all five of the Lego Friends. My daughter would love this. She wants me to buy her those pieces.

For now, I'm choosing Eslandonia. Although, I can foresee greenies smuggling with blue, red, and pirates. Reds and blues may not like it very much when they find out.

Anduin, I understand that many people are multi lingual and English is not everyone's native tongue. However, EB guidelines state that only English is to be used on this site. I placed the Google translate text in your post. Feel free to revise the translated text if something was mistranslated.

Lets discuss this over a PM. I'm really looking forward to seeing your layout and discuss some history.

Welcome to EB Captain Dee! Your contributions to discussions have been greatly appreciated. Yes, it's a common problem for me too. I look forward to when my daughter is a teenager, and she won't want to spend time with me any more. What's your Sigfig? You ever find your way to Midwestern Lego conventions?

I won't believe you're mad until I see the photographic evidence. Sounds like you made a very significant splurge. I expect you now have enough sorted bricks to start posting images of your WIPs or MOCs real soon.

Great work on all of the wonderful detail in this MOC. I'm reminded of with Lego. Your creation looks way more accurate than the video was though.

Maxim I, I removed your YouTube video preview from your signature. Site Guidelines state: Your signature was much larger than your average post and took up the majority of my computer screen.

I've found the relevant topic in the General Lego forum. Thanks for letting me know where to look.

Oh yeah! I wonder if there are any other Cat B teams or individuals that will enter. It's easier to win without competition.

What a strange tribe. I thought all islanders were cannibals? Great work on the landscape. Those colors look real good together.

This is good, real good. Anduin, is there a reason for the one cannon port so low around the berth deck? I had looked a images of HMS Endeavor replica's, and they seem to have around six cannon on the spar deck.
