    I don’t think there will be follow up ships to this one. And especially the Dutchman.

    I’ve seen the leak but haven’t seen a new leak of the minifigs. I know a link cannot be put here, but could someone give me a hint on how to find it?

    I think it looks good for a Lego set. If the hull splits at the waterline, it would be like the builder supersicks design from a few years ago. The cannon on the set also looks like some recent brick built cannon I’ve seen on here. Lego is watching…

    Congratulations mate!

    I agree. EB forums are nostalgic for me. Too many memories here to replace it with something new.

    Nice frigate. Good lines, and very Spanish color scheme. The way you extended the new anchor molds and made them appear larger is great. I also like the white plates in the lattice pieces amidship to represent hammocks. Nice touch.

    Nice ship. Classic colors. I love a ship with an interior. I like the technique on the curve on the bow. Oh she's not a brig but more of a barque.

    I gotta bump this because somehow I missed it. I gotta say this is one of my favorite ships built. Congrats to Legostone in building her, and Sebeus I on the mods. Ill say it again, one of the best I have seen. Cheers!

    Hate to bump.... But bump... Sang Royale has been rebuild, better than before... More realistic, better lines, but still has her classic look. Its been many years since I have posted, but I am back and have built a ton of ships that I will be posting. I just got jaded with the website. Hopefully I can get a few of my friends back to posting mocs like the "good ole days" of the early 2000's. New pics of the update soon. Cheers B

    That’s because it does.

    Captain Greenhair shows his brilliance again with the beautiful French 64! Nice work on the frigate as well!

    The silent Mary is heavily based on the French ship La Couronne of 1636. Here is a website about the ship. http://www.historicships.com/TALLSHIPS/Corel/La Couronne SM17/La Couronne SM17.htm You can also google image search "La Couronne ship" and see some great models of it.

    I wish this topic would go cold until someone posted with official pictures!! I'm tired of seeing a post and it not showing anything! Kind of a hypocritical post for me!

    Maybe this bump will inspire more great Mocs to be built! Such a great tutorial!
  15. Admiral Bejaune
    I'll steal it back. Don't you worry!!

    Again you have raised the bar!!! Seems to me I've gotta go minifig scale now!!!! She turned out excellent my friend! Keep innovating!

    No offense but is this suppose to be a fantasy style ship or a historically accurate ship? If it is suppose to be a historically accurate ship then I would say you need to do more research on the subject. It looks more like a steampunk airship to me than a ship of the line.

    It's so good to see a new ship from you. And of course it doesn't disappoint. The sails are perfect in color and shape and the skin color strake is perfect. It's always great seeing a build from a master builder and a great friend. Long live the CGH technique!

    The paint back then was actually very good. It was lead based, which was bad. But salt water absolutely destroys everything. I own and have owned several ocean boats and I am constantly cleaning, replacing and repainting certain things onboard that salt water has ruined. But that is the nature of the beast that is the ocean!

    You can't go wrong with the white, black, blue, yellow with red gunport color scheme! I like how when the ship of the line arrived it was in a deteriorated state. Many ship of the lines sat in port and were rarely used in peace time as they were expensive to man and operate. So sometimes they needed refits and complete overhauls before they were seaworthy again. If you read the accounts of the HMS Bellona, you would learn that after a cruise, Her paint had almost completely washed away, and her poop deck had almost been completely swept away by the seas. Very cool story to have a worn ship and not a newly built ship!

    Bregir I'm not sure if you understand why I mentioned the vasa. I was using it as an example of the curvature of the ships hull (sheer) vs the curvature of the gunports. I know vasa was a failed ship. If it had been 5 ft wider it would have changed the course of history. But it was only used as an example for early ship design, being an easy source for people to google, research etc.
  22. Admiral Bejaune
    You are correct about the hull curvature vs the gun port orientation. Most people fail to realize that the gunports do not follow the hull curvature exactly. Some ships had completely flat decks compared to their horizontal curve. While some ships gunports curve up slightly as they go fore and aft, but it did not exactly follow the sheer of the ship. And as weird as it sounds the gunports usually curved upwards more towards the bow rather than the stern. One reason. It's called seaworthiness. Now some older ships, example the Vasa, had very curved decks and so the ports almost followed the sheer exactly. But vasa came along at the start of the age of sail.

    I think everyone is 6 months behind here.... Joking aside, the beta on this game was amazing. I can't wait until they release the full game. Maybe they have and I'm the one behind!
  24. Admiral Bejaune
    But. Wait.... I'm a 9 year old child. or do you understand "I self inventor lego ship 9 years child" better?
  25. Admiral Bejaune
    Haha ok. But I can assure you that they will not smell like coffee n tea for very long. Especially if you follow my step by step!
