Hi guys! This is my first moc (exclude LDD), the HM Sloop Courageous. Actually, I have 2 main projects going on. One is the USS Constitution( in LDD), the other one is the HMS Surprise (based on the replica). And this sloop is the side project of the HMS Surprise. I mainly wanted to try and build one in real bricks. Enjoy! (sorry about the quality of the photos)

same here =]

Stern 80% completed!

I am amazed to see this huge project! Keep it up! BTW it would be nice if we could share our ideas as we are both working on US frigates.

Actually I have been trying to achieve that too but there is some technicle issues that I am trying my best to solve...

Thx for your detailed advices. Here is a little update on the stern

Update! Though I am still wondering if the ratiao of the stern really fits the real one...

More update. This time the number of guns sticks to the original

Where is it?

I'm getting a bit jealous about your visit. Regarding the two cannon's length, I would like to make that happen too. However, LEGO's hull was in fact a bit too squeeze for that much space so I am already trying all my best to make the hull as wide as possible. I would appreciate if you could advice me on sticking to the original as I've never visited it before. Thanks

you'r probably right.Guess I'd better make the modyfication now. Thanks.

Thanks for your kind remind. I know that the constitution has 30 on the gun deck, however, after fitting the guns, I started to realise that there is way too little room for all thirty guns and demolishing the whole thing and adding in to two additional hull is too time consuming for me. So, I'd rather use the Consttution as a guild now more than a real MOC here. Thanks again and hoping for more future advices:pir-cry_happy:

another quick update

This is breathtaking!! I've never imagined that a lego ship can be build like this Just a rediculous question:will this xebec float in water?

Here is a little update on the gun deck

May I ask how to adjust the angle of the rocker bearing 1x2? (in LDD)

I just download a ship model from the LDD index in the LDD forum and copy the hull Sure and thanks very much

Hi everyone this is my first MOC ship and it is still in designing stage in LDD. Plz give some feedbacks, thx very much. overall view rear view lower deck i know this is still in a mess need advise especially on the gundeck floor(since you can see it's not conpleted on both the front and the rear.)

I am impressed by your great technique!However, like the others just said, larger photos please so we can understand more about whats going on in there. Thanks

thx captain =]

Hi guys This is my first post on this forum =]I've been modifying the 10210 since this Friday, the main objective is to make it look like a real galleon by adding riggings and stuff like that. It is still in progress and I really hope you can give me some comments/feedbacks, thanks =]

May I ask where do you look for the information for the ship?
