Captain Green Hair

ou're getting better and better at it Admiral! What strikes me as odd though, is that non of you ships has a rudder?

Step 1, preparing the hull Logically the build starts with connecting the hull parts, i always do this with old 2x4 bricks: I always add some plates on the inside for extra strength, these might be removed later: Next we take the 2x4 bricks and lay one layer of them over the lowest part of the hull wall, be sure to overlap the seems: Next up we curve the lowest part up to the high parts on the bow and stern, to make the overlap between brown and black look less pixelized: Here's a closeup of how i did it: I think this is easy, but those with MSN support that have questions know where to ask them.

Ah yes, a true classic set which takes me back to where....i don't remember where i got it but i think it was my brother's. The hull part is indeed great and the blue barrel top can also make a nice detail on any ship's deck. Very funny and good review guys!

Can you please ask Admiral B for MSN support, i have 5 on my team already. Just PM him your adress, i think he'll be ok with.

You're in! And you;re in too! Good now we have a full team, let me get building!

Aha, one of my favourite shipbuilders is also on the team! This is very handy since some of us are in different timezones, so the support can now almost be 24/7 and the good Admiral knows the techniques as well.

Strange, in the movies i did understand what Vader was saying. Must be the Clone wars speach, right? Solid build V.I.G.* Stallio..err Stauder, funny and well build! *Very Interesting Goon

Ok you're in, so we have Blackmoor, Armendariz and Adam. 2 slots left!

Ofcourse a professional modelbuilder doesn't loose. Congratiulations Hinckley and well done to the others too it was a close call.

You can't get them either from Bricklink or somewhere? Cool, you're in! This is a jumper plate. Something like my old frigate, Le Requin, but longer and with newer techniques: You got the parts so far and the means to get the rest of the list? Ok, so far Cap'n Blackmoor and General Armendriz are in for MSN help, i can have 3 more. I will start the build somewhere this week, and then continue the list some more. I'll be posting pics of every single step, so without help it should be doable as well.

Well when the project is finished, the thread will be like an instruction. So you can always build one at a later point ofcourse.

Ok, so as mentioned in this thread, i will share the full building project of my frigate with you. Please read the topic carefully. Share your thoughts on this!

Ok guys, I'm planning on making another frigate and i want to share the full build with you. This means you can build it too. If you'd like to participate you'll need a lot of parts. I'll start a list in here, which will be extended during the project. Bear in mind that estimating the needs for this project is quite difficult and that at this point there might be some too many or some too less mentioned on the list. I'll do my best to make it as accurate as possible. List of parts: 1 old bowpiece 1 old sternpiece 5 old mid sections 30 2x4 old brown bricks 8 2x3 old brown plates 4 2x2 old brown plates 4 2x10 old brown plates 4 1x2 old brown plates 1 1x8 old brown plate 100 black jumperplates 20 2x2 black tiles 4 1x8 black tiles 20 1x4 black tiles 20 1x2 black tiles 28 black hinges, prefferably old style. Black plates, a lot and in all sizes... Some plates in desired colour for the gundeckstripe, and also some 1x2 tiles in that colour. (I choose dark red) Tan (or grey, or what you prefer) plates in various sizes to make the decks. More to follow.... I'll lock this thread up, so i can later add the images of the build. The project may take up to 6 months, but i think it will be fun. Discussion of the project can be done in this thread. I'll also give personal help over MSN to the first 5 members thhat post in the discussion thread that have the parts to do it. Bear in mind that the list will be extended.

Welcome to Eurobricks!

Looking forward to see them on the cake, maybe send me a piece over the mail ey? I hope you have a wonderfull day and good weather!

Benvenuto a Eurobricks! If your English is as good as my Italian, you have nothing to worry about.

Good deal indeed, i hope the bricks are clean and in good nick. I recently bought a decent quality and complete one for 30 euro's.

A very nice and detailed work, simple yet great. I would like darkred roofs better to get some more color difference in the scene, but that's personal i guess.

Yes, please do not reply on old topics when you have nothing to add. And you don't have to mini moderate.

Good thinking!

Let me confirm indeed that i have removed the banners, as mentioned it was getting out of hand.

We must not forget that Michael came from the Ghetto and has gotten so big with only the talent he had. He was on stage when he was 5 years old and that can make people quite crazy at a later age. This has happened to many artists, just think of Elvis or Kurt Cobain for instance. His father ofcourse made him into hat he was, and not in a nice way. I wish it was his father who died today. For me a person is innocent untill proven guilty, so i'd like it if we leave all the accusings out of this topic. Respect the dead please. I was a big fan as a child, only at a later age growing into different types of music. But i still remember my moonwalker poster in my childhood room. R.i.p. Michael.

A mod can only know so much, but it is always more then you know, you know.

Some stores ask for a code to bypass it, otherwise it's indeed best to contact the vendor. It is ofcourse cheaper to get most, if not all your parts from 1 store to save on shipping costs, which can be a pain as well.

Thanks for pointing that out Joey! I guess the black and whit can stay then.
