I'm not sure if I should open a new topic in the MOC forum, as I want to post some pics about the development and have a lot of questions.
Uploading 100kb? Is this a kind of joke?
I'm currently building this ship and hope for some feedback. She ship is planned to be a blue coats ship with 2 battery decks (there already), a bridge (partially there and color still wrong) and a front castle (is that the correct word, no idea how to do this yet.
It's made of form pieces, 7 middle pieces and 1 end piece and currently is ~ 70 cm long.
No idea how to build the bow, same about masts, sails and so on, but I'll deal with it, when I'm there and will rebuild a lot of pieces until then. As I'm still working on the hull, it's very naked, but this wont change until I'm settled as I'm still working on the general look.
Lot's of colors are wrong, but I hope to have during next week all the dark brown form pieces for the bottom to swap it to the correct colors.
The general color approach: bottom dark brow, rest of the ship reddish brown, decks & battery line in Tan.
This is how it currently looks:
I would love to post more pictures, but currently I'm allowed to do so.
One of my issues is the modularity the 2nd battery deck is not fixed to the body. It's planned to be in 3 parts, the bridge area, the middle & the front (without the bow). You can identify it, but the middle section that has no deck.
But to enter this middle module is really hard and the whole thing is under pressure, will this go away during the build? Or should I combine middle & front to only one piece? Should I not go this module approach?
As the battery decks are not totally horizontal is maybe not really helping my approach.
Would love to post more fotos, but this is currently impossible for me.
Any questions? And tipps? And recommendations or comments?
