    What are Papadopoulos bros discussing?? It's all Greek to me :P Nice ship color and shape. It would be far better with cloth sails though. Any type or color of cloth :) Also at first, i personally didn't like the new technic, used by TLG and presented to the latest official pirate ship, to create masts etc using Technic parts. Upon using it though it feels way more versatile and easy to replicate, with nice looking results. Your ship is a fine example of this new technic put to use effectively and elegantly. Now all that remains for us pirate lovers, is TLG to make brown beams and their related Technic parts in brown as well. Use harder cloth so that it retains its form like paper. Or dip your preferred cloth type in water mixed with a bit of wood-glue. It does wonders

    Hello fellow BoBS-fanatics and thank you all for your constructive criticism! I am seriously trying to improve here and you help me by commenting (also these newly arrived tan plates helped too). Rowboats were not supposed to be alligned and be parralel but i guess they moved while moving the moc and i definitely forgot to change poses :) As for the cannon, consider it a Poseidon gift! After all we did pray and chant soooo much to him :P hehehe As most of you say, my new goal in the near future will be to make a photo-box. Will it be enough if i use a carton box and white A4 paper sheets? Is there any particular thread i can find ideas and instructions? Finally, regarding vegetation, i have A LONG road to travel. I have many ideas in mind. Some will work, some others not and in that i would like your help with your comments. But the usual problem for me at this stage is the (dire) lack of greenery :) For the glory of Oleon! Never fall back, never surrender! (moto of d'Offren family)

    It is beautiful! Both the idea and the lush vegetation. And that small waterfall...

    Nice little build :) One question just out of curiosity: How many round plates are there in the photo?
  9. blackdeathgr
    That! I am busting my head to remember where the masts come from

    Fear not! I am still hunting this elusive chest. But the currents are too strong! Row harder lads! Row!

    A very nice idea and i think this establishment has its place in a well respected pirate cove of this era

    Nice sturdy little ship. I especially like the back of her and the two sails at the bow! My only remark is that you should try to use cloth sails because paper ones feel so rigid. I know though, it isn't an easy thing to print your awesome sign on cloth :) Overall a nice creation!! Stay afloat and keep trading!

    "Land Ho!" or "No Oleander is a true Oleander if he travels without guns. Big guns. Oh, and a priest. AT LEAST one priest." ... It is a chilly morning at the year 615 AE of our holy gods. Our mighty armada sent by our gracious king Stephan the II, had just avoided a huge hurricane that traveled south. Pinnacles showing the state of the ships are flown on each of our vessels. We were fortunate and we attribute that to our gods, especially Poseidon, the ruler of the high seas. Chanting from our flagship the "Glory of Oleon", echoes at the distance, sending our gratitude to Him. It is in that specific ship, the biggest and best amongst all that our accompanying priest dwells. Suddenly the cabin boy banged at my door. - Sir! You are requested at the crow's nest immediately! Rushing and climbing at the ropes, i soon reached the highest part of the ship, the crow's nest. A fine mariner, stood there vigilant but excited as a small boy. - Land sir! Land! Land that no one has set foot before! It is ours! My ship, "Talon", after barely avoiding the hurricane was pushed ahead of the rest of our mighty armada by the winds. That's why we spotted that new land first. It was luck I thought. Or fate? I did pray last night for our salvation. Only gods knew. No matter what, I hastily signaled our flagship... The rowboats were starting to descend from some of the ships. I was full of pride! Since my ship fist saw this new land, the admiral has made me the honor of leading the detachment destined to set foot first on this New World. And of course I couldn't be alone on that. Oleanders don't do things quietly. This detachment had it all. Flags, ribbons, soldiers, sailors, our reverent priest and even a canon. THIS is the Oleon way. The only way. For the glory of OLEON!... Ceremony to Poseidon for our rescue last night Cannon hauling Food and ammunition - we are here to stay Bird's eye view Thanks for watching

    Awesome little fort puny corlander! ...Bring in the oleander mortar ships!!! (What? Our great navy doesn't have any?? facepalm! ) On a side note, i just love wood fortifications and yours are really nice :)

    Unless they introduce the monkey with another color, it's fairly useless for historical MOCing. And at least make it gray people! Not metal gray...

    I like it. THIS is exactly how a warehouse should look like at that era! But isn't it a bit empty besides all these weapons and armors? Oh, i forgot, you cant face us with trade and now you organize an army... Great story btw! Somehow we must gather all these stories in an illustrated book (pdf one). They are really well written from all of you

    Don't forget to check all the other masterpieces at BoBS topics too. And do tell your friends and their mothers about these also! Feels nice to intrigue someone else besides us pirate lovers :)
