I would definitly prefer prefab hulls on your first build Here are some links that might help you: First, the link to Captain Green Hairs tutorial about how to built a frigatte http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30622 Second, a link to an LDD-hull more or less according to CGH´s tutorial, where you can check out some things (but please handle with care because it has some flaws if you want to built a full ship out of it) http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=8100 Third, a link to the full LDD ship i´ve built with the hull, where I got rid of most flaws http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/qwarek/fhg/anaconna_cannons_out1.lxf I hope that helps you. Good luck with your build

UPDATE!UPDATE!UPDATE! PLEASE

Beautifull ship. Very cartoonesque but nevertheless a great built. It really makes you wanna play and experience awesome adventures and since you packed it up with details you probably never go out of new stories and possibilities. The design reminds me a little bit of the ships in "OnePiece" although it has quite it´s own character. I disagree with Captain Blackmoore on the ropes. I think it should keep it´s great toy-style. More ropes would just make it harder to play on it and I see your ship more as a stage or set than a historic built. Ah and I was wondering: can it swim?

Updated version of the Annaconna A little update that fixes some of the flaws in the previous version. It also has some interiour now Thank you Bonaparte and William. Now that I got used to it on a normal screen I also don´t find it too high anymore. Bonaparte, I´m not quit sure which plate you mean. Is it one of the two marked below?

WWWOOOOAAA!!!! This is sick...but in a good way. Just stumbled over the "best sailingships ever"-post on eurobricks and than discovered this! Gosh am I jealous. Does it still exist?

Thank you very much Superkalle. Also thanks for the tag. I actually have saved an extra file of the hull http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=8100(betaversion: please read my post at My link) and wanted you ask anyway where to post brick-groups helpfull for other builders. I have a shipbase according to Captain Green Hair´s great ship-building tutorial, some trees and a nice solution for timber framework/truss in LDD which I´d like to share. Is there an index I can put them to? To the colour aspect: No, didn´t know that there is a tool to analyse the coloursheme. I think I already tried to install the LDD manager but it didn´t work for some reason. If you could help me out here a bit I would be happy to post an edited version. The 1x2 brick: I think it´s a letter I wanted to place in the Captain´s cabin.I forgot him when I made the screenshots. However I´ve already reworked the Annaconna and will upload a final version (and also a recoloured one)that should be cleaned by all the little flaws I still found. I would do it right now but unfortunately I don´t have my notebook right now.

My first huge LDD Galeon: Annaconna LFX-file

I hate it when Admiral Crossaint comments before me cause with his MOC-sharpend eyes he mostly tells everything there is to say. Great ship. Not a thing at the wrong place. Perhaps I would work a little more on the stern cabin. Putting a little more ornaments to it. But I guess thats just my opinion since I´m always very focused on that.

Very good job kurigan! Besides your new WIP I only knew your LDD-ships and now I find this one. I really like it. Very good colours and all-in-all also a nice shape.But I agree with Admiral Crossaint on the hull shape. The widest part is a little too short or too outstanding. You made this on your LDD-ships too. On this ship it doesnt bother me cause it´s overall impression is just right and very nice. But on the larger ships you made the shape of the hull curve becomes to sharp. But anyway, you made a real nice ship with extraordanary details for it´s relatively small size. Also the rigging looks beautifull. I´d love to see your first seabattle between this and your new one P.S.: I really like your attitude on building. You build for fun and don´t care for people who wanna make Lego-building a stupid competetion.

Great MOC. Besides the stairs I specificly like the bow under the roof and the hanrails.

Wow, very cool. I really like how you make these great effects just with an intellegent use of the colours. I find it very oldschool and the longer I look at it the more I like it. It has truely great pirate flair.

Thank you very much. I´m very flattered that you like it. I´m a little proud you specificly liked all the stuff I´ve put the most attention to. As for my plans of building it for real I definitly will build a ship some time. But unfortunatly all my lego melted 12 years ago when we had a fire in our house. So I at the moment don´t have any bricks at all. The thing is that I´m not 100% satisfied with the result. I made this ship on my old laptop, whose screen is broken. Unfortunatly it´s graphic card isn´t able to display widescreen resolutions so the picture on the external screen is always stretched. Even though I knew this, the ship turned out a little bit too high for my taste. However, I´ll buy a new computer soon and than hopefully be able to finish my LDD-island-MOC which I´m working on right now. And if that´s finished I most sertainly will build parts of it for real.

I assume you mean the "design by me"-online shop connected to LDD. I made this ship in the extended mode of LDD (My link). Lego opend that mode for LDD-fans but doesn´t support it. So many of the parts and decorations you find there aren´t availible at the "design by me"-shop or the "pick a brick"-shop, or at least not in the same colors. I tried to make a colorsheme which isn´t too exotic and I believe that you can buy nearly all bricks in this model somewhere. But since I´m also kind of new to the community I´m not really sure.

LDD 8B Hello everybody, I´d like you to show my first huge ship-MOC, which I made with LDD. It´s the Galleon of Gavernor Roth: The Annaconna. It´s my first ship and I sertainly would not have built it without the awesome tutorial of Captain Green Hair. Thank you. It´s still a beta-version since most of the interiour like kitchen and Captains-cabin is missing and some other parts like the the stairs to the captains-cabin, but since I want to work on some other stuff right now I thought I upload it anyway. I hope you like it and it would be great if you could help me out and tell me what you miss on that ship. Here you find the lfx-file for LDD lfx-file

Thank you Skipper. That´s what I meant. However this feature doesn´t work with mycomputer for reasons I don´t know. But thank you anyway for giving me the answer I was searching for.

No, I meant that in your model you can see each single brick and its outline. When i build a wall for example I just see the wall as one piece but not the single bricks it´s made of. Same with the tile-bricks. If you could explain me how you done that I would be really greatfull. But anyway, thanks for explaining your modelling technique in detail. Just awesome how you built it. Oh...just found the option In LDD. Unfortunatly I can´t activate it for some reason

Wow!wow!wow! I think this is one of my most favorite MOCs ever. It´s size and it´s enormous level of detail are overwhelming. This is exactly what I had in mind when I restarted LDD-building 2 month ago. AWESOME!!! You are my personal hero. ...but I have to agree on some of the cannons. They look more like modern guns than like old school cannons. Perhaps just turn the curved bricks around and it looks fine.

This is really great. I know how hard propper building is in ldd. Fabulous how you managed to grt all the angles together. Could you please tell me how you managed it to show each bricks outlines in ldd. That would be really great since I´m searching for some time now to find a way to do so.

Very nice. I love the wild beauty of the algae and seaweed sprawling around.Very lively. Also the colorsheme gives it a very nice underwater-flair.

Very nice. I especially like the colors and the great tavern feeling you achieved on such small place.

Classical beauty in it´s best. Extraordinary. Since I´m building my first ship myself temporarily (but just LDD)I know how hard it is to draw a clear and nice line on the hull on galeons and your´s is just perfect. Also the colors are some of the best I´ve ever seen.

Just love it. By far one of the most promissing models i´ve seen. Your tecnique is superb and very well done. Surely this will become a real stunner.

Oh damit its the wrong version. The angle isn´t right and a few bricks are missing. Set the angle of the hull to 13.95 degrees and add the missing angle-pieces. Also please note, that the big plates, which CGH putted at the bottom of the hull (picture 2 in the tutorial) are missing.
