    i only meant the additional Pieces at the bottom of the Hull, the prefab pieces (or any other pieces) are getting scratched when the ship is moved over a hard floor, hence i add those at the bottom: These can be ordered quite cheap in quantities and protect the bottom from scratches

    I didnt do anything in this regard yet, i just pulled a lego Technic string on one side and a piece of string on the other for now, will think about it later. Only change for now is redo the deck around the Main mast so i can put a 32 Technic axle through deck (so the mast is one piece and not divided by the deck) I also added "Boat Stud" par no. 2654 to the bottom so it slides better over the floor and and doesnt damage the Boat Hulls when sliding (Part 2654 is cheaper than the Brown Hulls so i have ordered a lot of them as wear replacement) I build it for playing for my Kid so rather like to keep the prefab Hulls

    You asked for progress (don't mind the capstan yet, it's a test and I miss one flat 2x2 in dark tan) https://imgur.com/gallery/6yKfox8

    If we look at the scales this way for scale connie with 11 Guns then the Mermaid would better be depicted as one of the 32-Gun 5th Rates rather than Endymion/Trinc (proportion math: 11 to 15 equals 9 to 12.3, 32-Guns had 12-13 Guns on each side of the Main Gundeck)
  5. Jasseji
    Yep, my point Exactly, the cannons i plan for her for now will use Technic 2L Spacers (already ordered) but i am open to suggestions, at this scale when put next to the Anubis, only the Anubis should have the normal LEGO Cannons on the Lower Gundeck (as you already did = they would depict 24-32pdrs) and the Maiden should have some brickbuilt (maybe a little bit longer than the Barracuda Brig to depict the Brig having 9pdrs and the Maiden 12-18pdrs). If it comes to scale tho, the Anubis seems like one of the 50-gun 3rd Rates, like the HMS Leopard for instance, at least the amount of guns and port placement. The Connie is actually Huge for a Frigate, she's really a class of it's own But yes, you are right, the scaling needs to be adjusted and the Maiden would fit a Leda Class (well, perhaps maybe some of the smaller 32-36 Guns like Triton or Pallas Class)

    Ye i noticed the price increase when ordering too, pity the original Barracuda Bay slopes arent one brick shorter or i'd be happy to build here even in white (actually, she could become the Connie quite easily with some minor changes that way, the gundeck would have to be extended to have 15 Guns per side and details redone a bit but i think it's doable)

    You have some GUTS man :D

    As for crew and what colors she will fly, well, i have 2x 21322 so 16 Pirates in Total but only 3 Soldiers (plus the 2 Skeletons with Chakos :D), that would leave the Soldiers at a big disadvantage unfortunately. However, she might also become an HMHV like Jack Aubrey's Surprise (His Majesty's Hired Vessel) so would only require the Officers to be in Uniform and the rest can be just regular Sailors

    aaah now i need to get parts for this one as well after i Build the Fer Maiden...
  10. Jasseji
    Hey, i want to build her as designed if it comes to coloring, in regards to the mods tho, my first would be to make custom cannons base on those from La Grenouille MOC (mostly because of cost of Cannons, I only have 3 available after my kid took possession of the other 5). Second I am thinking to change the capstan to 4L axle with 1L Technik spacer and use string instead of the lego string with studs but here I am still experimenting with the string drive to make the capstan switchable from left to right anchor
  11. Jasseji
    I just wanted to say, from a Ship=Modeller point of view that this is really superb and as soon as the extra parts i ordered come in, i will build her (actually started already just took a break after i ran out of parts) I will be building her and maybe do some adaptations should the need arise :D

    Hi, does anyone still have those instructions ? The website doesnt seem to work
  13. Jasseji
    i go the program to work correctly, i am trying to figure out now how to add the PU Controller, so i can control the trains via App AND controller at the same time - did you try this ever ? The dosumentation is not very clear from Lego side unfortunately...
  14. Jasseji
    i am sorry, it is my fault, i chose the "program" option when creating the project and there those blocks are not visible - my fault
  15. Jasseji
    Hi, i was trying to decipher your guide but i seem to be missing some of the Options in the App (The custom Controllers like sliders etc,) was there any change between the versions ? All manuals i find Refer to a lot of Custom Controllers and i am at a loss if i it wrong ?
  16. Jasseji
    Thanks all, I already got the braided fishing line 0,6mm, it's a bit thinner than the original lego wire but works brilliant, now I need to figure out all the other stuff
  17. Jasseji
    hm, i mostly meant the optics, so it isnt much thinner than the original rope
  18. Jasseji
    what size did you take (diameter) ?
  19. Jasseji
    Well, i am fine with ALL getting the power boost (i can always gear them down if those 4 are too fast), my main problem is, i dont have enough power for driving the model from a single XL Motor when using 9V Battery Pack (Crane 42082)
  20. Jasseji
    So let me get this straight, i can use a Buwizz as battery Box, set say one port for 11V and another for 9V, connect an SBrick to each of the "Power" ports and then connect my Motors to the SBricks ? (the 11V port would have 3 Motors, the 9V 4 motors - only the "9V SBrick" would have motors running concurrently, for the "11V" only one of the motors would run at the same time) I seem to have space in my model to Exchange one of the SBricks for a Buwizz (actually in place of the Lego Battery Box) but on the spot where the 2nd SBrick is located there doesnt seem enough space for a 2nd BuWizz, otherwise i would just buy 2)
  21. Jasseji
    Ok, so i went aheand and got the RC instructions from custombricks, put it all together, was less work than i thought (a lot of sections can be detached and then reassembled, basically it;s just the center and superstructure gearbox which need to be ripped apart, rest can be attached with some minor modifications) Additionally i did the 3-stage boom based on Grove GMK6400 from the forums here. After launching it i regret having bought the SBricks, should have gone for Buwizz, i can see two of them could be easily squeezed in place of the SbRicks (which would solve the 360deg rotation problem too and add a bit more power dues to having the option to go 11.5V instead of 9V) For now i am looking to replace the AA Batteries inside the BB for 3x LiFePO4 3.2V rechargables to get a little bit more kick into it (even after changing the gear ratio from the XL Motor, the model struggles on thicker carpets) I am searching in vane for any designs for Y-Guying/Luffing for a Mobile Crane. no matter if manual or automatic deployment, i would like to somehow support the fully extended boom. Anyone any ideas ? PS: where do you guys get those longer strings ? i cant find any decent string anywhere...
  22. Jasseji
    Thank you for the pics and input, i've decided to go the Custombricks route for now, first because of the PF Motors being a lot cheaper at the moment and second, because i can use an IR Remote for driving the crane (disconnect 2 cables from Sbrick and put them on an IR Receiver). This will allow my kid to have a better play experience (he likes to drive those things, Daddy or Mama has to do the rest :P) I know there is a remote for C+ as well but i have PF motors and receiver/Remote already ;) Also, i will be trying to work out a way to add a second battery box to the chassis (hence removing the 360Deg limitation)
  23. Jasseji
    okj, does it have multiple positions or just 90deg each direction ? anyway, i will be looking to rebuild the 42082 after i come back from this business trip and i will be deeply looking at your pics to see what motors you put and how exactly ;)
  24. Jasseji
    Ah OK, so servos are now there for C+? I thought about the battery stuff as well to put 2 battery boxes in it but use the instructions from CB just change for C+ Motors (maybe use smaller ones) I have game controllers lying around too, my most problem is designing the changes :)
  25. Jasseji
    Can you elaborate why it turned out impossible to swap the motors used by CB for the new ones ? I have thought about doing it with the new Motors as well but honestly dont know where to start :D
