Third Navigator

Hello sir! Can I change my name to 'FreeWill Lima'? Thank you kindly!

Love how you made her bow and quarter freeboard!

Thanks! And these are under plan of my falcon. Sadly gun in bottom was excluded because I need to support the hull with one hand while I activate all landing gears with another hand. Thanks to bracket parts, Length of centre landing gear mathmetically correspnds to the length of others regardless of where it is located. And also the hinged outer-surface allows for a small difference, and it does not interfere with the gear below it, no matter where it leans. Thanks for comment! But sometimes it looks "Fat falcon" when I unactivated landing gear.

Hi guys! I am one who always love spaceship. and This is my first topic in star wars forum. Recently I found the set 75257 without minifigures for a resonable price in a used market, so I bought it because I am a big fan of Star wars series. Anyway, as all you know, TLC contiues to release this ship, and we are happy to find lots of improvement and more details that are getting better from new sets. But the bottom parts(from 4504 to recent sets), including landing gears, have been weakness so far. and this is why I started this WIP. Belows are more real-looks foldable 7 landing gears for minifig-size falcon 75257 And Soon I will build MOD of 75257 made by someone in rebrickable(Sorry I have no idea about a regulation of this kind of mention.) and combine these 2 creations.

Wow she shame me! it seems not like something made with lego parts!

Realization of romance. well done really!

Such space fleet would be all men(once a child who played with Lego space sets)'s dream! I can see only the M-tron flagship which had giant hull, cool angled bridge, lots of AA guns. of course other accomplishment by you looks good.

Did you saw interior detail? thanks! I think inner details are for those who want to see them. My honor thanks! Yes. For me, the set(or ship) Silent Mary was my savior when I was struggling with the awkward parts, especially port and stb'd bow, because there are no space for cannons. and, at the same time, the 'stern' had been bothering me for days too! Oh not yet... Sorry. I think over 3k pieces mocs are.. inappropirate for doing such thing. there are good mocs to buy and build like Fer-Maiden. she is light and cool ship.

Miraculously beautiful ship! I especially love her because It shows that you have given considerable thoughts to one subject = tightrope between reality and scale model. Also every part I can see inspires me to my recent shipbuilding.

The structure finally looks like a complete building as an imperial outpost! And without a small idea-marketstall, The backside of building would be just a boring "backside".

Great tower for bat lord! I love all of those pieces stacked well.

A fine piece of work!

Cool boat! love it. It reminds me the set 7410. but unlike that, Your one looks good to crew.

How generous! Thank you for watching! Her 'color mix' would not have been achieved without many EB posts. thank you. About the pattern, It's just a simple trick you can easily copy and It Just Works! Also there is a little more process in my flicker(profile-website) to build this ship.

Thanks, I like that you like it :) Thank you. You meant that those white columns? They are decorations inspired by Silent Mary. 4 in bow and st'bd are, as you can see, gunforts. and 2 in quarter are Just decorations. They might look wierd. Understand I made her name-plate at that time and I completly forgot it before you comment! Her name is San Fernando And the set 6280's name was Santa cruz... I didn't know it. Is that the name given by the LEGO germany branch? It reminds me of various localized nicknames that were made at that time. The set 6285 was 'Black seas barracuda' and 'Dark shark' and 'Caribbean treasure ship'! It's always fun to find such lore. Thanks for your comment. It is an honor to hear that from you! Thanks.

Thanks! I am glad the color combinaltion went well. Yes. It is obvious that cap'n redbeard of dark shark will be afraid of this ship. Thank you! Thank you. That place would be meaningless without the map lacoted there. And it also hides the existence of a secret chamber!

Ahoy! Finally my 10-month project is over! And it also the biggest thing I have ever done on my own. Over 4700 pieces were used and I tried to insert interiors in as many spaces as possible. So minifigs can explore all spaces of the ship through her passageway. This 1/4master looks very nervous... It looks like he is hoping the master on his left side will go down to the cabin lol. Exterior details of bow, f'cle, masts, winch, derrick, capston, midship, Quarterdeck, stern. The pictures below are interiors. including officers' cabin, amory, office, galley, gundeck, residential area for crew. Lastly, she had 16 big cannons, 16 middle-size cannon, 10 small-size guns. Thank you!

Yes I think so too! That slanted entrance, It's also a small important part to keep stern from getting too high and destroying ships' ratio. Thank you for taking a closer look. Existence of those red hoses is one motivation I could start this project. Thanks. Old masts give us neat impression, so sometimes I still need them lol. Thank you! You read them? me too! Come to think of it, there was a ship with that name in those books. I had last update in 3 months. She now had sails. The sail is hmm.... I can confidently say that it looks pretty cool from afar. So, if we lose faith in her and start looking closely..... ANYWAY it is important to have faith. that's right. Now she is faster than a merchant ship that she should escort to next port of calls.

Ahoy! Can I post simple MOD I made 3 years ago? As you(at least some reading this post) may have felt, 21322 had some regrets. there was no enterance to go under deck, no place for boat to explore or escape... And New-she had good things like interior for pirates crew, but It was a sacrifice of space for cannons. The parts I changed are below: -add crane and winch -placed hooks for boat in stern -she had 6 guns and extra interiors: warehouse, bar, etc in bow -add hatches for minifigs to access second deck.(original BSB had them!) -add large cargo hatch for pirates who want to fire cannons on the deck

As a lover of the set 6268, I also love this! I like stern hatch and compact robots. minifigures could be inserted in those small size robots..

Because I have never seen Nougat hull ship moc before, It makes me fresh. And about ther rudder, I saw something like that in the game: return of obra dinn yesterday! anyway it was one of interesting things in your moc ship. well done!

Well made bow! I can't see any clue..

Oh You touched one of her weakness in reality side lol, Those 2 columns in midship are just decoration. And another weakness is that minifigure can't acess to 2 brick-build guns under the green cabin enterance. I am looking forward to building her, too. thanks

Finally designing of this digital-ship compelete! In details of her interior and exterior, There has been inspiration from many of MOCs that have been posted on EB. fabric flags and custom sails for her are already in stand by. The parts for her will arrive in mid-march, and then I will write new MOC post with real ship.

I always tried to build fort island like this.. but most of them failed becuase of 'simplifing' like lego official set. so they end up being burdensome to actually make. lol I dont think creating is as easy as looking around. well made. its color too.
