wow...great work guys!!! the shape is really nice and the colors work really well together..congratulations on this beautiful piece

i think it worked...i have already learned a lot... thx for your kinds words en all your help..it's brilliant how you made your link to flicker with 'jump into hyperspace' great moc's that you have made btw

thx MaHo90, i am glad you like it, i think i found the problem. The computer was set to automatic translate, even when i sent an englich text,it translated into dutch for eveyone.inhope its ok now.... i thought i had to put my pictures on flicker first before i could put them on eurobricks.and that'swhat i did... but for some reason i can't seem to click on a photo and it automatically takes meto my flicker page.but whith my 'batavia' it worked. when i wanted to upload photos to flicker,i had forgotten the password,but by searchingfor my 'batavia' ,which i had posted at the end of 2023. i found it here on the 4th page. you click on a picture and i will take you to my flicker page and you will see more foto's van lady nelson. greetings

Okay, but someone else put those photos from Flickr on this site for me. I'm not very good with computers. Okay, sorry, but I wrote in English... I don't understand. I hope you can read this? If anyone from the organization understands this, please delete this topic and I'll try again later. Sorry, I'm a bit digitally illiterate.

Hello, I am proud to present the cutter "Lady Nelson." The cutter Lady Nelson is modeled after a typical cutter from the late eighteenth century. The cutter is a British design and was originally developed by smugglers from Folkstone and other known areas. It wasn't long before the navy recognized the advantages of the cutter's excellent design, and from the mid-eighteenth century onward, they were quickly used by the navy to combat smuggling. Cutters of this type were designed purely for speed and carried a large amount of sail, which at first glance seemed completely disproportionate to the ship's small size. They surprisingly carried fore, aft, and square sails on a single tall mast, which (compared to the mainmast) had only a short topmast above the lower mast. Due to their relatively deep draft (draft more at the stern than at the bow), they were not suitable for work close to shore. Smugglers must therefore be intercepted long before reaching their destination. The original ship (based on the lines of the Sherbourn-class cutter) had a keel length of 52'6" and a 17'6" beam. I based the free-build design on the plans for Chris Watton's 1:64 scale wooden model. I redrawn it to 1/40 scale, and this is the result. The dimensions are: overall length 840 mm, mainmast 260 mm, deck 120 mm, and overall height 800 mm.

it looks aggressive,and that's what it should be.brilliant

mooie moc met een mooie poort en boom, alleen vind ik de muur achter de muur boom misschien te weinig structuur bevatten in vergelijking met de rest. vooral dan aan de basisplaat, maar nogmaals: weer een geweldige moc van u!!!

well done, but the top photo destroys your heart shape. maybe more photos from different angles?

beautiful moc, the colors stand out beautifully. built with an eye for detail, so there is a lot to see and it has come into its own. congratulations

beautiful build, the palm leaves as needles work fantastic indeed.

thanks, yes in Lelystad they built a real copy. and they did it really beautifully. It was also very useful for me to see how they did that. There was a lot of information available on the internet. I have a compromise with the woman, because he had to be removed from the living space, the masts removed and stored in the attic . I'm currently building a cutter, so it's a lot smaller and since most of it is finished, I'm going to get around to parts.

oh thanks captain!! What an honor, I'm glad you liked it! prost thanks thanks ,and i also love the minifig ,they couldn't be missing thanks for nice comment

well done, the stairs made from wedge plates are well found, and the additions of cat heads and even hawses make it detailed,it is often small additions that make a world of difference

thanks GeoBrick, yes I spent some time on some details... such as the tarms of the gallion, scuppers for the water overflow of the deck, the place where the helmsman looks through. the ((berghout)) (wale) in the dark brown was also not easy to tune because there are only a limited number of slopes and it has to be slightly outside the planking,but you have to look carefully because it blends in with its surroundings. And no, I have no plans to take it with me to a Lego event. After 2 years (to get in the way according to the woman )I promised to get rid of it before Christmas. and I need parts for my next idea :D

thanks rogue redcoat for posting photos Brickander Brickumnus your welcom Frauces thanks for comment, I built the Batavia on a scale of 1:40 and I think it's big, but Willem Vos built it on a scale of 1:1!!that's crazy!

thx, for the shape I based myself on plans of a wooden model, redrawn to scale 1:40 and then a lot of measuring. It is of course Lego and it is difficult for me to plan or file it, but it will rarely be more than a cm off For example, there are 2 sloping steps on the gallion, so I could only place 1 there. I also couldn't get the slope in the gallion. The foremast is perpendicular to the deck, but due to the topmast and yards it bends over a bit. The main mast and mizzen mast are slightly set back, but as a result of the topmast and yards they also bend forward a bit. The galleries were also a challenge because they run both upwards and inwards... and in that color it was not easy (little choice).I could solve the mast problem by rigging, but on that scale the masts are very flexible and very difficult for me to rig.but it was a lot of fun to make, and time for something new.sorry if something is not clear, I am not used to working with a PC and am still searching. i think if you click on a photo you will go to my flickaccount and see more photos? thx Sebeus I ,ik wou een houten model bouwen enkele jaren gelden...tot ik op een lego beurs werk van u zag, ik werd weggeblazen..je hebt echt al prachtig werk geleverd!

Hi, I present the ship 'Batavia' that sailed for the VOC in the early 17th century, but was wrecked on its maiden voyage. I built it a long time ago, but now that I'm going to dismantle it again, I first want to show it to you again, because I'm proud of it too. if anyone wants a detailed photo of something, don't hesitate because within a week or 2 it will slowly sink... also many thanks to you (the forum) because it often gave me inspiration. it is on scale 1/40 lengt = 158cm ,h=135cm,br=60cm

Thx, I'm a nostalgic person, it was a few decennia's ago that I build something from the classic castle set. So for me it was a trip to memory lane.

Thx GeoBrick for your kind words. The poor rat has an exit, don't worry see the picture below . About the prisoner, there is a door, you can find other pictures on my flickr-account I find a picture of the anderlecht Gate at a book. published for Brussels and is about the history of Brussels. so we know that every city gate, including the laeken and leuvense etc, had a drawbridge, portcullis and prison originally it has a roof and is a bit bigger, but I don't have that many bricks P1170288 by wouter de smedt, on Flickr

thx for the kind words AV_Guy, glad you like it. thx al lot for your kind words. I based my moc on the Anderlechtse Cate in Brussels. and in that time there were no rocks in the water, the water stands still and was algae green, it was a moat and not a river. But you are right,it's a little bit to same. Next time I will try something else Thx for your kind words Grover, I think I made a mistake and posted it wrong, I hope that someone will make it right soon. I had the same feeling when I saw at first the rounded 1x2 plates. I am also happy with the results of the rounding, so I'm going to use them more.

wow, very well done! not only the interior is beautifully detailed but also the exterior is beautifully finished. For me personally worth a front page. congratulations and keep on brickin

hey everyone, this represents a city gate. I have provided them with a gate and drawbridge, prisson and wallcarpets. I hope you like it , for me it was fun to build.
