[WIP] - my first attempt to build a redcoat ship
Max_Lego replied to Max_Lego's topic in Pirate MOCs
Added brick-bulit sails. Now the ship looks slightly better, IMHO. -
I liked redcoats since watching the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. In addition to our 31109 Creator Pirate ship, I wanted to build a decent redcoat ship. After building 14 cannons, I chose the 1775 HMS Kingfisher as the basis for my future MOC, willing to recreate it as accurately as possible. Sadly, I didn't (and still don't) have enough parts to build a decent model of this ship - I need a lot of tan slopes for that. Acquiring the Star Wars 75365 Yavin fortress would've partially solved the problem, but I'm yet to collect enough money... Anyway, madness struck me, and I decided to build something slightly resembling a British ship instead, until I'll have enough tan slopes. And I built THIS. The fat bastard, the big disgrace. Yes, its rear is nice, and the front is not bad, but the rest is horrible, especially the hull - straight, square and crude, since i didn't have enough curved parts. I tried my best to turn it into something acceptable, but all I got was a silly toy. Here it is: As you can see, the build lacks sails and rigging, but I'll solve this problem soon. I understand nothing in XVIII century sail ships, and, as I said, my original plan was to recreate the 1775 HMS Kingfisher very faithfully using paintings and technical drawings. I can't do this right now, but I promise to do it as soon as I have enough parts needed. I don't have enough tan slopes and curves to make the hull. Is there any way I could improve my ugly build? I am open for suggestions, if you have any.

I now think you were right that time... Harvey Bullock is now my second minifigure to have a part, painted with Mr. Hobby - his fedora hat is now the exact same colour as TLG's dark bluish grey! TLG didn't produce this fedora in that colour, so I had to! Also, Robin and Batgirl have new, more narrow capes.

I saw it!!! Oh my I am disappointed with the minifigure section!!! If Harley is indeed included in the Batmobile set, along with Mr. Freeze, there is no sense to purchase this set for me personally. ... But it's beautiful, and the minifigures are nice. It's just not for me. Too bad... On the bright side, it's expensive, so my money will stay with me!

One of the best pirate ship MOC's I've ever seen. Awesome!

I am glad for you. But, speaking of me, if I MOCed a Batcave, it would've been the TNBA one. I could do it without the Box. I agree that the Box is a great set. But it's not for everyone... There are lots of Lego sets that aren't for everyone. And it's sad they decided to retire the Box. Sad, but explainable...

This is an example of what you can achieve with so little parts. Great job! -
