Horry

CopMike just frontpaged this, congratulations!

You, Sir deserve the Christopher Pike Needle of Valor! That thing is unbelievably awesome! Building the constitution class in that scale with all the thin nacelle pylons, a round saucer section and a working main shuttlebay.... that needs to be frontpaged in my humble opinion (I might be a little biased as I'm a huge trekkie, but that is still pretty awesome from an AFOL point of view)

Thank you very much! I'll let you know when I'm done

I updated the first post with the best pictures I was able to make. It really annoys me that I cannot get myself to be satisfied with this MOC's documentation but it won't get any better. I'd appreciate comments and the removal of the WIP sub-header

That is just fantastic! I would not be too concerned with the fort being dwarfed by the frigate - she still could be blown to smithereens by Vanguard! Would you consider giving out the LDD-file for that? I just spent a couple of nights trying to improve my tutorial and this is by far the best version of a proper brick build bastion I've seen so far!

This tutorial has just been updated with better picures and and three additional sub topics (adjustable carriage for casemates, posterns and blockade offsets)

Okay, thank you for the clarification!

Well, I'm certainly in and I stick with my Friends-Tron-thingy. How shall we do it? Is a co-operative entry allowed?

Aye - I just realized that this is a hommage to "Lord of the Flies"! I really do like the smooth curving of the beach and the transition from the sand to the jungle... a perfect part of a winning display

That's a brilliant idea as well - Now we only need people who do Friendiens and Friends Conquest to be realized and nothing can stop us! live long and fuchsia!

Welcome to Eurobricks! Good that you decided to join us Is Star Wars your favourite theme or is it just the Jar Jar Binks minifig?

No dolls and no flesh-coloured minifig parts - But who cares? My avatar wanted to take part and so he does:

Oh my, Sci Fi and friends.... I got some ideas - but probably not enough colours.... But alas! I'll try something anyway! Friend-Trons await!

Thank you for your kind replies Yes, that's a very good idea, I'll do that :-) I think that I'll add a digital background!

I think this belongs in the MOC section and it should be blogge... wait, hold on. I am sorry, my thoughts are a bit shaggy because I just watched an epic-win-display... This is the once-and-for-all proof that Classic-Pirates is a bottle of rum win! You folks are great

UPDATE: I finished my building process! While I am still waiting for some good pictures to be taken, I can already proudly present some scenes in the first post! Would a shipyard member be so kind to take the "WIP" out of the title of the thread?

You'll have upload your pictures into the internet first. I, for instance, use Flickr as it's free and easy to use. If you're done uploading them, you can deeplink the pictures into your review. How to do that is explained in this great tutorial by "Shadows". Good luck with uploading them!

hehehe, I was going to post a link to that ship as well, I just had forgotten which carrier it was. It's an amazing build - but folks, the discussion is being taken away from an awesome MOC by Anders T! Admiral did you contact him and invite him over to us? Because I think we would benefit greatly from his input.

Oh my - makes me want to meet you all on an event all the more! Congratulations! A very well deserved prize!

My bad, I didn't realise that this is indeed based on an actual ship! I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing that out, Admiral

Welcome to Eurobricks, Christian! I never knew that 6391 even existed but it sure seems like an awesome set Viel Spaß hier, man sieht sich!

Welcome to Eurobricks, Leo! I'm sure you will like it here. The Star Wars folks around here will make sure to show you the bricked side of the force

Very clean and a great brick-built hull! I also love the tumblehome and the MOC-cannons. As for nitpicking: I would reduce the number of cannons by 1 or 2 on each broadside, the hull might be a bit fragile for a ship of that size (although it is certainly possible to carry that amount of guns on a brig of that size, especially considering the calibre) - I would also move the the mizzen mast a bit more to the stern and keep it a main mast (keeping it taller than the fore mast) but otherwise it's an adorable MOC!

I think you lost a a part of your post on the way I'd love to see the whole post!
