Third Navigator

tower which was large bottom looks heavy, though this port is not so big

torpedo tube and landing gear inspired me. also the ship looks solid even with high details.

Hi, Iam Interested in spaceships, so sometimes visit Sci-Fi forum, but I' am first time posting here. I made submarine from an old Sci-Fi comic, fushigi no umi no nadia(the secret of blue water) she was built with 2.5k pieces, LOA: 98studs(about 80cm)

They are... Thanks! It's worth looking for whaling movies. my glory, thanks Also, more than a decade ago, There was a good attempt at whaler ship more than a decade ago. Thanks. users like you is a great comfort to me. Thank you for watching! thank you for comment:)

White stripe you made, in her red hull looks impressive. also I think her bow design looks cool, compact good job

Thank you. It's an honor for you to recognize them. Because I have read some books on whaling for a very long time. So most of what I know about whaling is contained in her. Thank you. Maybe Charlies morgan, In Mystic seaport. It is envious of me to be born in a country with many good museums. Thanks. Most of her hull is from Fer-Maiden, And I needed a new point-symmetry whaling boat, After watching some works in EB, I made them. So 100% my design may not in here. Thanks.

American flag whaler Melville . Her name Melville's from Herman Melville(Mobi dick) . Whole color came from the set 6289. . She includes: independent two anchors pump, stove(melting whale fat) nets for workers signal bell derrick crane(2) boat lift cargo hold with 70 barrels 15 crew(cp'n, cheif~3rd officers, cheif cook, harpooners, sailors)

your pirate island is cool. you used less pieces and made more qualities. the little island seems to have a lot of stories, so I love this.

I love that slope for boat. With blue baseplate, it looks good to place with other buildings

was very helpful, thanks :)

Hi Recently my friend got ship's baseplates in the set 6285. He had 16-stud-width bow, quarter, middle x 3. And he had wanted to build warship for his bluecoat soilders. So we searched but, We found that there were very few ships using three middle baseplates. Need your help! Could you give us information(link) or picture about ships built using them? (shape of hull: small frigate, corvette, brig, brigantine......) x 3

This giant ship has interesting part. '12-stud-width-baseplate' is a little narrow to make such size ship, But you overcame it by making draft of ship. It's not awkward to look at, whether it's on the water of on land. good. And I'd like to know the material of the cloth used in the sail and how to make it.

Hi Here, this is new(feb, 2022) idea of using 10176 baseplate raised. As I had thought about using the baseplate for long time.. When I felt I needed a naval base for my ships, I decided to use it. new naval base built on ancient fortress(or reef with moss). To make it look like a marine architeuture, I covered bottom of the base with blue plates. And added walls for cannon, hatches, grille pass......

95% compelete and added parts: indepenensive windrass + anchors(2) working space bell for sign blasting(fer maiden) pump(sinking) I am currently thingking about bow statue....

interesting classic model of tender color looks cool. goodjob

In Cliff gate, natural placement of rocks was impressive, recently I am trying to create island part of pirate theme. your post was very helpful thanks

Completed whaler boat(x2), Draft. both different angle of props of hull had no any errors. designer of original must be genious.

Your idea of small cave make me imagine lots of things

What a cute moc! I am a minifigure scale lover but I think this is good

Thank you for comment. I thought about it for few days, for additional essential elements to be added to this ship.(+pump to cleanwater tank, sailing cargo other than oil barrel) You right. Use some plate on ship's baseplate is perfect idea. as you know, the original of Fer Maiden had this but I excluded that because of more oak barrel. But It will be ok if it's as high as two-plate-hight. Thank you for remind me.

70~80% of designing completed. As fans of Lego Pirates know, Whole color was taken from the set 6289. Now there are remaining tasks of Anchor system, Winches for boat crane. Yes I am looking for Lego man of war, too But private, merchant ships also had their merit.

Hi, seamen. Recently I am designing my 4th moc ship whaler. Most of whaler ships had derrick crane, whale boat, stove to break up whale and get their oil in Ocean, And her type of ship is usually barque, So she will have 3 mast and gaff sail. And there are also gun-camo, too. Folding sail will be used and gaff sail is majpr work. This is her scrapped design, and Now I upgraded her mast, boats, lifts for boats. And All of her body(hull) was changed. Her new mast, It will be used in her fore, main masts. Her new boat, 6 oarmen, steerman, harpoon man get this. Her stove Her new lift for boat. It had lock hooks. + I will use 'Fer-Maiden''s Hull to this moc. 2000+-pieces will be used.

It looks high, Compared with other lego ships, But the 'High' is also the characteristic of the old ships what you want to make, nice. Though Its design looks un-balanced, Its heavy color offsets it and makes her more cool, like metal beard's seacow. I want to see her stern and trapezium of hull later.

I didnt even think about using duplo hull in MOC. So It is impressive ship because of her curved line, color match, Corner part(4x4x6)

They reminds me the elder scrolls skyrim. There will be no awkwardness between the normal minifigs too.
