Captain Macintosh

Glad y'all like the changes. I'm going to try an extension at the rear when I have the time. ~Stan

Thanks! I haven't read the books yet either, but I plan to do so when I have the time. Thanks for the picture! So extending the captain's cabin a few studs would improve the ship? I could see 3 studs making it look better, as the deck would line up better. ~Stan

Just implemented a changed glass frame - here are some pictures! Hope you like it! ~Stan

Thanks!

Sorry, but I don't quite understand what your talking about there Do you have a picture of this implemented? Regardless, here's a slightly modified version of the window design: If implemented as in that mockup, I'd need to do a fair bit of modifications to the ship's deck level - do you think this design will look OK? ~Stan

By the by, does anyone have 1) a good way to dust Legos? This has a LOT of dust on it now... 2) a good name for an English port? I have a few buildings done so far, it's a WIP, but I need a good name for it... Just thought I'd ask now, as modifications to this send dust spewing everywhere ~Stan

Thanks! I'm always looking to improve my creations, so constructive criticism is very enjoyable. Would something like this in place of my current set up look better? or instead of Sorry for the weird colors, I only have so many trans-clear bricks The second design is to see if I could get away without any trans-clear 1x1s - I don't have any, and they don't seem too common ~Stan

Thanks The translucent bricks are supposed to be the captain's cabin windows - that's the best technique I know for windows. Are there any better ways to build them? I'm always looking for improvements! This is a picture of the ship it's (loosely) based off of. You think there needs to be a frame around the windows? Thanks for the feedback! ~Stan

[pid][/pid] 100b While I built this over a year ago, I only just joined EuroBricks, and I wanted to see what people thought. Based off of the Hotspur in the Horatio Hornblower films (great movies by the way ;) ). More pictures over on Brickshelf. Hope you like it! ~Stan
