  1. That is fantastic looking! As a McLaren fan myself, I would really like to have one of those!
  2. Lol. Is there anything I should do to fix it?
  3. Oops! This was my first build that I licensed so I'm going to claim ignorance, but I'll make sure to pay extra close attention in the future. Thanks for letting me know!
  4. Not a bad looking model! Great job!
  5. Fantastic looking addition to the wagon way! Great details!
  6. Nothing short of marvelous! Great job on all the cool details, especially all the rigging! Looks like a great addition to Corrington's fleet!
  7. @Bregir How's this looking so far? I brought up the bowsprit and redid the sails which included adding a forth mast. The rear sail in the back is temporary for now. I was thinking of making that like a barque fore-and-aft rigged sail. I'll also add a sail or two in the front as well. troop transport 4 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr
  8. Thank you very much @Legostone! This has been very helpful! All those suggestions will be relatively easy for me to implement.
  9. Here's a ship I've been working on recently. I figured I'd ask for advice before I get to far into the project. My goal is for a massive merchant/warship (if that's even a thing? ). Something with loads of cargo space but enough firepower to sink 80-gun Ship-of-the-Line. Ok, maybe not that much firepower... Any suggestions on bow or stern shapes, number of masts it should have, or whether or not it even looks realistic so far would be helpful and appreciated! It's as long as 10 prefab hull pieces with 2 of the prefab curved ends.

  10. Captain Brickford will certainly be presenting himself to the Colonial Governor! The Ship: Licensing and size She consists of 10 mid sections and 2 rounded ends. If built with real bricks she would be about 50 inches long. I wasn't even going to consider licensing her because of the enormous cost that I can't afford right now. If the faction wants to purchase her though, I would be more than happy to oblige! Masts and rigging I'll definitely add another sail to it and lengthen the masts. I always thought it looked a little under-rigged... I know on one of the threads there is a picture with all the names of the sails and such, but I couldn't find it... I definitely do some research on that though. Hull Cabin: So instead of a captains quarters under the helm, just remove the cabin and put the helm on the deck? Is that what you mean? Shape: Yeah, I see what you mean. I'll definitely have to fix that! Pictures If you want to see more pictures of the model you can check out this album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/154382561@N04/albums/72157665505621188 I originally built the model to be a 28 gun warship, but it was in blue, so I decided to change it to a 10-gun troop transport and give it Corrington's colors so I could use it to advance my story. The album is of my warship, but the only difference between that one and the troop transport is that I removed the guns from the lower deck. Thanks for all the feedback @Bregir! I'll make those adjustments you suggested and then post it in the Shipwrights Guild for finalizing before we PM it to the faction. Thanks again!
  11. Yeah, I knew it looked a bit to chubby... I'll probably dry dock this model for a little bit because I'm working on a bigger ship for the MRCA. I'll post a WIP picture soon of that ship to get some feedback. Thanks for all the help!
  12. Ok, thanks. I thought it seemed a bit large...
  13. Been working on my newest ship. I removed 1 of the masts and decided to make it a sloop. The rigging still needs to be done and the big rear sail is not final. Does it look to wide compared to how long it is? Suggestions are welcome! Small ship 3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr
  14. So, I've got a small WIP ship... It's my first time brick-building a hull. What class would a ship like this be? Comments and suggestions are welcome! Small ship 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Small ship 2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr
  15. Beautiful model! Great details and it looks spot on when compared to the real thing!
  16. Awesome! Quality and presentation are definitely a priority when it come to build in LDD for me!
  17. Ok, thank you for clearing that up for me!
  18. Quick question regarding licenses... I know that you can only license 3 properties per month, but that is different from ship licensing right? Also, has the ability to license more than 3 properties per month been added yet or is that still in the works? Thanks!
  19. Sounds like a good building program. Is it right to assume LDD builds are eligible?
  20. HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!! I know how that is! There are some words I always spell wrong, no matter how hard I try!
  21. Very informative Mesabi! Eslandola is certainly wiping the floor with us Corries in terms of money... for now...
  22. I'm more of a NASCAR fan, but those cars look fantastic! Great job on all the detail and styling!
  23. Pretty neat looking ship so far @Mesabi. My only suggestion would be to angle the bowsprit up a little and make the bow itself stick out just a little bit more with one or two 2x3 inverted slope bricks.
  24. Yeah, I see what you mean. Thanks for the feedback!
