I haven't mentioned this but I wasn't sure what the sword was either. Perhaps it would be more blade like if it were made from plates rather than cylinders.
I can see this MOC has a lot of tie over with Pirates so the first thing I recommend we do is mentally erase that overly futuristic diver so we can appreciate this in a piratical context X-D
I'm wondering if there's any merit in all posting this in the Your Own Creation forum so it can be appreciated in its intended Aquaraider context?
The HMS Bloodlust!
Although there's a slight discrepancy with the HMS since it stands for His/Her Majesty's Ship which would mean the vessel was commissioned by a monarch. So technically the captain would be a privateer, although he would still be a pirate to the enemy nations.
Yeah, there is that security element of disabling HTML and the Administration Control Panel does strongly advise that HTML is not enabled to general users.
But once again, that's the Root Administrators department.
Before we go about naming Mr Maniac, how about you tell us some vital details which could greatly influence our suggestions.
The most pertinent of which: is this going to be a pirate or privateer's ship? And is there a sovereign nation?
Or you could try our very own Batch Image Resize Tutorial which teaches you to resize multiple images at once. Very convenient if you've got dozens of images to resize.
I wouldn't have said so, but my resolution is 1680 x 1050 so I've got plenty of desktop space. Generally an image size of 800 x 600 is safe and sufficient.
A "castle" you say Mr Zouave? I suppose you've got a good point there, but to me it looks like a decent fort - what Eldorado Fortress should have been.
Yeah, a thread for each of them would be good, but all of those at once would be too much. Would have been good to have the WIP threads created when creation of the MOCs begun. But alas, time does not always permit for such documentation.
Unfortunately we can't set ALT text or Javascript mouseovers using BBcode.
Its the way the forum is setup and as far as I'm aware most forums are setup like this, but that's an issue you'd have to take up with the Root Administrators.
Of course, there's always tabbed browsing to minimise the number of windows open on your desktop.
Its only two pieces though and I've seen SYSTEM ship MOCs using those particularly pieces. I agree that the 4+ pirate theme introduced a couple of useful new pieces for Pirate MOCers, but these pieces don't make it worthwhile acquiring the entire set.
Stress relief is always advisable, a bit of relaxation always allows for some rejuvenation. You're so lucky that creating MOCs give you that, as for me its rather the opposite because I'm already creating.
Anyway... As thse WIPs...
Fort Danielle looks like it could use some more development as it appears the flagpole has collapsed X-D and its lacking the all important garission.
