Aethis

Yeah the colors are still something I'm playing around with. But right now I'm using the legacy colors: 'earth orange' for the main brown color and 'brown' for the dark tan/orange-ish highlights; makes sense right?! =) Its just wat looks the best right now. But when it's finished I'd maybe change them.

Well, I'm getting there! I'm now building the stern which has/had the most mysteries for me. After that it's only the masts and the last part of the top deck. Expect to see it finished next week.

Well, I just couldn't get this out of my head. So I started on the ship in LDD. I think I'm around 50% completion. There's enough reference pictures (although some parts keep me guessing) and I'm trying to get as close to the original as I can. I had to make adjustments to make some things work. It could be due to my limited knowledge of building techniques but I also have the idea that somethings just aren't possible when building it in the brick. So it will be a ship that looks like the original but should be possible to build with real legos.

Well the simple fact is that it's to good to be left as a digital render, right? So which amazing builder is going to give this his/her best try? And of course show the rest how it's done?! I would've started already but this is way out of my league (I'm talking about my building skills AND my brick collection).
