    Phred, this is one hell of an awesome vessel. The shape, the parts you incorporated, the colors, the background story you gave her - just stunning I can only hope you get your hands on some sail material and decide to equip her with it. Great job!

    Duke, I love the shape of this one! Incredible that you could make a prefab based ship look so darn fast Love those masts, and the rigging, too, and cannot wait to see her under full sails Class 5FaF (Fast as F*ck) Keep it up, good Sir!

    Why am I always late to the comment party? Wow, this is easily one of my favorite forts in BoBS so far Lovely concept, textures, clean build, great pics - love all about it Now Oleon needs to come up with something larger Keep it up... sky-high in the ayr!

    Decent ship, Ska, like the colors - gives her an 'official set' touch. However, you should really straiten out your sails, or use some alternative material, like linen or simply paper for future ships. This would result in a more refined look. But all in all, good work. Oh, in any case she will need... a rudder! Waiting for the Misfit to capture a pirate, 'cause they just couldn't steer clear, terrifying the enemy into surrender

    Simply have to agree with the others: minimalist, ingenious design - very effective.

    Wow, great build, CG! Love the concept, the story, and the depiction of the several stages Your furnace looks great, and in general both textures and colors work really well. But you asked for improvements... hmm... I'd have loved to see all this happening in one huge factory building, maybe presented as a cut-out scene. Apart from that, maybe some white 2x2 round bricks on top of the furnace to add some smoke/steam, and some more heavily armed royal troops to guard this important place What's next? A silver transport? A bank? A coin-press as Faladrin suggested? Waiting for more Hey ho, Silver!

    Ahoy once more, laddies! Yes, it's another ship. The last one - maybe even for a while, since I'm all out of medium ship-MOC ideas. Well, let's get to it: The 'Diligente' Convinced of the potential of a new hull design developed by naval architects at the Royal Shipyards in Breshaun, two keels were laid down. The first one would later be known as Commerce de Breshaun - which proved resistant to even the most perilous sea conditions. The second one was to become a warship, now finally launched in late May 616 AE - and she will hopefully be as seaworthy as her civil cousin! The Diligente is a frigate of 32 guns - 26 twelve-pounder long guns on the upper deck, 6 eight-pounders on the quarterdeck, plus eight-pounder bow- and stern-chasers. A nimble vessel, agile, yet armed to the teeth - may she serve the Empire diligently! about: As always - all can be built, except for flags and sails, and one would have to use minifig hands to assemble the handrails at the beakhead. Can't make out major differences to Commerce de Breshaun? Thanks, I take this as a compliment Diligente intentionally looks similar to a high degree to emphasize her affinity with Commerce de Breshaun, but it took a major effort during the redesign to keep this look The entire broadside concept had to be adapted to apply the new colors and to make space for gunports, yet increasing her structural integrity, not to mention (re-)rigging her, deck re-work, minifigs, and so on. With 6500+ parts, Diligente's piece-count is 1500 pieces higher than Commerce de Breshaun's. All in all I think I spent way more time redesigning Diligente than I spent on constructing Commerce de Breshaun in the first place - but she was worth every minute C&C welcome! Vive le Roi!

    I think this MOC is a desperate cry for help from those poor creatures

    Capt, this is a very fine vessel. I was all ahhhh and ohhhh when I saw her first. Nice shape, great colors, love the stern design. Simplistic design, sturdy looking, with a fascinating touch of 'officialness' - If Lego ever releases a treasure ship, I hope it looks like this Keep up the good work!

    Fellow Oleanders: In case you haven't seen it yet, our 'Pirate Quest' has started. Make sure to check it out Feel like contributing? - Just sign up and join the fun!
  11. Kolonialbeamter
    Fellow Oleanders, our 'Pirate Quest' has started. So sit back and enjoy the story as it unfolds over the coming months! If you want in and contribute, you can always sign up Of course all you other folks of New Terra, we hope you enjoy this also, so grab some popcorn and enjoy the ride! All the story development and faction discussion will happen behind the scenes, and in this thread we will collect links to all MOCs dedicated to this quest, and the great game-master Ska will throw obstacles at our brave expedition team, which they will have to 'overmoc' in order to proceed and close in on the secrets of the Île de Tyche. Stage I In April 616 AE a company of Royal Marines was landed on Oleon's newly claimed Île de Tyche to officially take possession of the island for King and Country, and to launch an expedition into the center of the island to find out, if stories about a great pirate menace really are true. Of course, along with every rumor about an evil menace comes the promise of something shiny: a great gold mine is also rumored to exist somewhere on the island! So what better to do than to go and have a look! That's exactly what Hugo d'Offren and his men are thinking, and so they set out making their way through the dense jungle, scouting ahead of the main forces that set up camp at the beaches. ...

    Hello again, oh wait, that's ahoy again, of course! Today, another ship for the ever growing Oleander fleet. Proudly presenting: The 'Infatigable' Infatigable's keel was laid down four months ago in the smaller of the two 'Pontaniou' basins in Quilbignon, right next to La Recouvrance. But as the latter was launched shortly after, work on Infatigable was interrupted due to a shortage of timber after hurricanes Hilda and Stepho had devastated large parts of New Terra, as especially Le Bellan was in dire need of construction material. But work was resumed in April, and now she was finally launched and immediately attached to the New Terra Fleet. Infatigable is the fastest warship ever constructed in the Royal Shipyards in Quilbignon - a schooner, fast, agile, and equipped with sixteen 12-pounder long guns - lead-ship of her class, a majestic sight. She's on her way to Breshaun now, ready to indefatigably pursue her adversaries, and to enforce Oleon's rule wherever needed. about: Like most of my ships, Infatigable started with a look at the ship classification chart, as I needed ideas for a 5A1. But finding examples for large schooners of war turned out quite a quest. In fact I didn't find any reference ship that would be larger than a brig, but smaller than a corvette, so this is more of a fantasy ship. But nonetheless, Infatigable is easily one of my favorite ships so far. I'm really happy with her hull, which took me quite long to shape. As I wanted to build her as low as possible, I 'cut off' plate by plate, changing her base several times, until reaching what I think is a minimum height for me on this build. Again, she's a flush deck ship with no cabin box - just like Gladiateur - but I hope her side galleries being ornate blinds is presented better here. Some numbers: the length on her waterline is 88 studs, length over all is 116 studs, and her beam measures 21 studs. As always, she's buildable, and with proper rigging and some flex tubes support her mast should carry the weight of her huge sails IRL... but then, I won't build her Thanks for watching C&C welcome! Vive le Roi!

    Darn... too late for that, pictures are rendering. And once they are... I'm not allowed to change the MOC anymore. Thatz ze rule!
  14. Kolonialbeamter
    Neat fort, BD, as usual And good thinking registering that technique! Now we can sue all of you others building effective forts Integration of the rock - check, well done! Agree with the others, however, the breastwork is a bit too low, and those guys need a hatch. Apart from that, great work! Oh, and neat flag, too
  15. Kolonialbeamter
    Wow, quite the effort for a prospecting scene Cool rockwork, the olive green goes well with it, and the tunnel entrance's integration into the mountain is very well executed. That sign is neat, too. Great work! Good luck to you, too, finding something useful!
  16. Kolonialbeamter
    Yup, those 1x2 slopes look very convincing. Lovely little scene. The medium blue thingy behind the bucket, is this water flowing into the hole? Good luck finding something useful!
  17. Kolonialbeamter
    True, brigs were fast and agile. But as I looked at the ship classification chart when I wanted to build a 4A it said 'war brig'. And since I'm German, and therefore have to obey rules, Gladiateur became a 4A However, you my northern neighbor are not bound by my heavy chains Oh, and next ship will be even faster looking
  18. Kolonialbeamter
    You are a savior And putting this scum to work will help Mooreton Bay to grow - what a great combination Great idea, great MOC, love all about it. Keep it up!
  19. Kolonialbeamter
    Glad you like her, Bregir The windows... well, the side ones are meant to be (painted) blinds - quite a common feature - but it doesn't come across with the parts I used, so apologies for this. It'll be better recognizable on my next ship Bow chasers would have interfered with the headrails, so I left them out, but yes, there should have been some. About the odd angle of the gaff, for sails I'm dependent on Lego's wedge plates, and 45° plates are the only ones that come close to what I needed. But yes, agreed, the angle should be lower IRL. The Gladiateur doesn't 'look fast enough' IMO to be a 5A1, and I think the size is much rather typical for a 4A. But rest assured, a 5A1 will soon sail these waters, too
  20. Kolonialbeamter
    Congrats on winning the Revenant, Bregir, may she return to you always I can answer your question about the prospecting scene: Just use the standard property license form, license it as a mine, and leave a note saying this is a prospecting build. Phred or someone else will then do some accounting magic, and it'll all be alright.
  21. Kolonialbeamter
    Eslandoliansers... always the warmongers MAESTRO probably knows how profitable wars can be. Great troop composition and a nice base camp. Agree with Bregir (this happens waaaay too often ) on the door and the (lack of) interior, but you're likely gonna fill up the interior with the duke's riches once that war is won, right?
  22. Kolonialbeamter
    Your creativity never seizes to amaze me, CB AFFENgeil! The political correct version is nice, too, but Kate seems to be missing a whip... however... this might get you in trouble with the slaves' union or gender activists or whatnot. Hmpf... They just don't make 'em slave painters as they used to. Keep it up!
  23. Kolonialbeamter
    Finally some time to answer and comment a little. Well, thanks for liking her, y'all Well, that's actually a pretty basic setup using 44567 and 60471 for the angled broadsides - although any other combination of hinge plates would do also, and 50950 as 'midsections' - simple and sturdy. No cabin 'box', yes, it's a flush deck build up, quite common for later area small and medium ships. Saves costs and keeps the center of gravity low, I assume. Ships in real bricks... well, difficult topic... still haven't come up with a ship I really really want to build. But one day, Captain, one day! Of course I have! Plus, in the event of an attack the crew will wear shiny armor made of pure silver, to blind any enemy at first sight
  24. Kolonialbeamter
    Can private troops be sold to other players?
  25. Kolonialbeamter
    Oleon's very own blackdeathgr himself will join the pirate hunt commanding Gladiateur (4A).
