    Thanks a lot to all of you, it sure feels nice to get such positive feedback So it would seem Thank you, that means a lot Just why? I think not. After all the combined experience of both is terrifying. If I were a storm, I'd stay the hell out of the way of these two... and probably wet myself Captain! Amazing how you always seem to know what's up And the guy... don't get me started on him! First he shows up in Bastion telling stories, now this. That must be the most incompetent deck rat ever. I mean, look at the mess he's making. What a tool! They are not connected, they are just floating around. Having connections looks just hideous. Plus, I consider them only placeholders, so I don't really care they are not 'real'. Also, they are annoying to handle as f***. For those of you wondering about the hull design, the 'Royal Naval Academy' can provide you with a schematic: Fancy colors, anyone? As you can see, there's a lot of hinge plates. They are connected to the keel via the pink parts (you could surely add even more connections). On the left you see one of the segments the hull is made of. Well, and the flex tubes act as a ring beam. LDD only offers a very limited range of them that can actually be 'flexed', but you get the point: go for as long as possible. At best, connect both sides 'over the prow'. And should one ring beam not suffice, just add another one further up the hull. The rest is adaptation.

    Good to know you Corries know how to dig your own graves ahead of battle Just... good to know... for future references... Now, smack talk aside, this is a fine idea and I find it very well executed. Nice foliage, and your riflemen are well depicted. This torso in dark green would be a treat, wouldn't it? Keep it up!

    Ahoy again, yet another ship has entered Oleon's Merchant Navy. It's my fourth FB this month, so feel free to approve, should you like her I'd like to present to you 'Amphitrite's Lily'. 'Amphitrite's Lily' must be the oldest ship still afloat in the Sea of Storms. A small cog, surely no beauty, a true relic in terms of a ship's life expectancy. Having been around since the Juniper War, in which she was used as a supply ship, she served Oleon greatly and was mustered out years ago, waiting to be broken up. Now, however, the Nation calls her once more! Every vessel is needed in the race for expansion. She is put at the command of one of Oleon's greatest sea dogs, a man - no - a legend almost as old as the 'Lily' herself. And he rules the deck with an iron fist. No doubt there is: the two relics will prevail again! About this ship. Believe it or not, this old bucket is buildable. This technique kind of 'happened', and I think it works out alright depicting (very) old ships. The structure at its base is formed by hinge plates, and the sides are held together with flex tubes. All is attached to the ship's central axis at multiple points, it'd be decently stable. Oh, and I hope I got the sail right this time Thanks for watching, C&C welcome Vive le Roi!

    Bwahaha, your freedom will be no match for our first-rate tax-ships and regiments of elite tax-collectors. Prepare to be amortised! Well, maybe at some point in the future that is... now we're poor

    Hull? Do I need that, too? Better don't mess with you, you know too much. You think I would settle for something less than first rate? Hehe, yep, wait and see it is. One last thing: She's indeed based on real plans. Very detailed plans even.

    Thank you, thanks all of you, guys. Your praises are very much appreciated. The 'Royal Shipyards' officials have noted them also, and will further their efforts to present you with even better ships in the future Captain! Yes, that was exactly the intention. My first Bluecoat ship here - the parrot it had to be. Cool that you recognized! Please, try and let us know if it works out, maybe in reality they are not as annoying to handle as digitally. Thank you. Yes, that's always my intention, to make it buildable and therefore equal to 'real' MOCs. Making sure of that takes an aweful lot of time, though. Haha, you, Sir, are completely right. I have to admit, I hate dealing with sails in LDD, almost as much as with rigging. It's just so frustratingly annoying. Maybe I'll take better care next time Years of experience by now. Still not handling sails right, though That's how it starts. However, it gets better with time... much time Yes, yes that's it! I knew I didn't make a mistake! It's the winds that're wrong

    Cool idea and nice effects. The anchor fits in greatly. Approved!
  8. Kolonialbeamter
    Agreed to what CD said. Apart from that, gimme more stories! And mop up some redcoats for Zeus' sake!
  9. Kolonialbeamter
    Thanks for clearing that up, Bregir Petition to raise the tax to over 9000%
  10. Kolonialbeamter
    This is a very neat idea, and it's well executed. I really hope you'll add more chapters to Drave's story over time, this has excellent potential!

    Hey hey, this is gonna be my 500th post For this occasion I thought to show you a little something, a glimpse of what's ahead. It's still digital... but... Overly excited soldier with banana for scale.

    Ahoy mateys, may I present my first ship in these waters, the Class 2F cutter 'Revenant'. This is also my third FB this month, so if you like it, please approve The 'Revenant' is a fine example of Oleon's new 'Piranha'-class cutter, introduced by the 'Royal Shipyards' of Breshaun. It's the first time an entire class of ships was not planned in the motherland, showing the growing importance of both the island of Le Bellan and Breshaun's 'Royal Shipyards' branch. Designed for speed and manouverability this new class of vessels is considered a great fit for the tricky waters around Le Bellan with their shallows and strong, ever changing currents. Being regarded excellent crafts these ships fulfill their purpose as merchantmen as well as minor military vessels for both convoy duty and costal patrol. The 'Revenant' is commanded by Guillaume Lejeune, a skilled and experienced sailor and now entrepreneur, constantly busy shuffling goods in between the various ports of the New and Old World. He proudly flies the flag of the Oleander Merchant Navy, showing his devotion to the King and Oleon's cause. About this ship: I'm not a big fan of fancy colors, plus most specialized parts don't come in a broad variety of them, so the ship might look a bit dull. But as always all could be built in real bricks, just sails and rigging are placeholders, and the yards would require rigging to be held in place. The construction would be stabil, maybe even swooshable. The name was chosen hoping the ship will return from all the MCRAs to come. C&C welcome. Vive le Roi!

    Aaaaand there goes the jungle. Wood... erm good stuff, I wondered who'd come up with this first
  15. Kolonialbeamter
    All great, love the size of that build! I just find the road a bit too smooth (and monotonous in color) in regard to the time/location.
  16. Kolonialbeamter
    Nice little scene But... tiny spoiler: He was being let go Good luck trusting him among your ranks! *grabspopcorn*

    Thanks a lot for the 'earworm' (excuse my German) Great stuff! Although the gramophone is a bit far stretched Keep it up, Mony Mony!
  18. Kolonialbeamter
    Nice shape, pretty colors, good presentation. Looks properly fast. Congrats on a fine vessel

    Here's a design that I used in my small shipyard. Isn't really visible in the pics, so here goes, maybe you like it.
  20. Kolonialbeamter
    Love this! Great build, kabel. The house, the action going on, feels just right The guy chopping up the trunk is especially cool, nice effect.
  21. Kolonialbeamter
    What is in that pie that the bakery needs that many guards? *suspicionincreases* No, seriously, that's a neat build, vivid colors and nice details. That whole street is a dream
  22. Kolonialbeamter
    Great to see shipbuilders influence each other. Lovely little vessel, instant like! As for classification, I would also say it'a a class 1F, although judging by the quality she would deserve more benefits Keep it up!

    Hi guys, CB4 kindly allowed me to moc up the MCRA result of his famed ship the 'Parakeet'. Somewhere in Bastion: "She did WHAT?" So, this guy walks into the bar. Pretty run down, shady character, aweful looking. And his smell! You could smell him from two miles away. Oh, this smell of rum and... like he's been living in a pig shed for the past 4 months or so. Almost knocked me out. Anyways, so this guy immediately starts drinking and after his third bottle of rum starts babbling. I mean, you've all heard of the 'Parakeet' and how she sprung a leak? So, this guy claims he knows exactly what happened that day and serves me this story: A mermaid with shades using a swordfish to saw a hole into the hull... I mean, come on! Seriously? But... the thing is... errh... the more I think about it... well, it is kind of a likely story, isn't it, lads? Lads?? I hope it's recognizable, well, it's my first time trying to 'tell' a story in a single picture, does the idea with the speech bubble work? Concerning the 'Parakeet', thanks to CB4's excellent pictures I managed to stay very true to his original, I just had to adapt a few minor details. What a lovely ship you made, CB4, and thanks again for allowing me to moc this. Well, here's some more details One last thing, in the topic title I didn't know whether to write 'Oleon' or 'Sea Rats'. Some mighty overlord may change the title if necessary. Thanks for watching

    I have to side with Captain Dee here, give us more pics! Cool... ehm... hot place, indeed, that whatevertheterm white round stone idea is brilliant! Don't mind the chimney, though, it's quality Oleander construction, it will only collapse if it has the chance to whipe out some nasty redcoats There're holes in the baseplate... so any additional builds coming up?
  25. Kolonialbeamter
    Good stuff! The only cannon foundry, now the largest shipyard... them darn pirates go industrial!
