This is such a fun and unique build. I love that you made it with the modules for play functionality. The stern really is incredible and I’m a fan of the two tiered captains cabin. Hook is truly living in luxury.

The Matterhorn has a lot of black netting around the deck to stow hammocks. It’s been hard to see in many of the photos but it goes from the waist all the wall back through the quarterdeck as you can see in the photo. This small section of netting holds 5 (maybe 6) and this is the smallest section of them all. I’ll be doing this for at least a week to fill them all out.

[MOC] Belle Riva 80-gun Ship of the line
Mr. Townsend replied to Franco Clarke's topic in Pirate MOCs
The sheer size of this is incredible. It's interesting seeing how much space you have to work with at this scale. -
Absolutely top quality as always! I’m incredibly excited for this on Bricklink designer. Fingers crossed it goes the same way Fortuna did. I’d love to have one on my shelf.

This is great. I like the double decker gallery windows. The shape reminds me a bit of the Bonhomme Richard with such a raised poop deck.

This is a fantastic MOC. You really captured the idea of an overgrown jungle. The colors and elements you used, especially the bright green and rope vines make it feel alive.

I wasn't quite happy with the first iteration so here is Gen 2 covers. Very pleased with this second version. Draft Version: I had the idea to add canvas covers to the ships boats. They need some ropes to tie them down and some seam lines sewn in to sell the scale but am curious for thoughts on the idea. I remember seeing similar things in an episode of Hornblower but you typically will not see covers on model ships.

[WIP] American Frigate USS Providence
Mr. Townsend replied to Captain Rathbone's topic in Pirate MOCs
That’s a great start to your build! I don’t have any suggestions yet but am excited to see the build progress. -
These are very neat designs. A fun way to make a small boat that can float.
-
You’re making quick progress! The new stern details are looking great so far. Setting a deadline is a good call.
-
I wouldn’t say they are particularly heavy but I have a flex tube running through the middle so there’s no rigid structure at the moment. I’ll add some metal rods inside the flex tubes which will strengthen them and remove the sag.

Definitely a lot of reddish brown. But the white and black tiles had also cracked over time. I’m not sure exactly why that happened but I tried to support the snot work better so hopefully that helps prevent it on the future. I also got all the square sails on the yards but haven’t progressed past that yet.

While getting ready to move onto standing rigging, I decided that I had to rip the stern off the ship before moving forward to redecorate what was a rather bare Captain's Cabin. I'm pretty excited how it turned out. I was also happy to replace bricks that had cracked over the 10 years this ship has been sitting. I've been pretty surprised how many bricks have cracked over time or as I was removing them to update things.

[MOC] Another small hulled (8-wide) boat: Privateer caravel
Mr. Townsend replied to Legostein's topic in Pirate MOCs
Very cool. I especially like the curved gallery windows. They really pull the whole ship together. -
Love it! It’s so vibrant and fun. I love seeing those islander sails because I had the set they came in when I was a kid. You’ve done a great job putting a bunch of small stories in the build.
