Lights in the cabin! Wow, you would not call yourself ambitious, would you? As for the cannons, the difference in the wheels is striking .. and yes, the metallic grey (or whatever they call it) looks different. I bought some pearl gold pieces recently only to find that they look much darker than the ones I had already been working with... Back to the frigate: It's going to be great - keep going!!! I want to steal some ideas, I mean, I am looking for inspiration

[pid][/pid] 161C Hello, it's me again. This time I would like to present to you a ship that I've built some time back: The Prince Ian-Lucas. At that point in time I was building ships without knowledge of the existence of Captain Greenhairs Tutorial. So, my approach was to use slopes to make the ship look right. Its a modular build, so I can take off the top elements and allow access to the lower decks. This is the Dutch crew: (in red: Cornelius Drebbel) As you can see I have attempted to make every part of the ship accessible to the crew. This is why I had to spend an extra door here at the rear (and staircases somewhere else, etc.): (that was an earlier picture before the ship was actually finished - pls note the monkey ) Some more views: Overall, the ship turned out to be quite stable, easy to transport and store away. My later attempts have not always had these three qualities. Would I change it now, having advanced in a few areas? Yes, of course My MOCs are never done... One question remains for the experts: What type of ship is that? Is it a galleon? A monster of a sloop? A too small ship of the line?

This is going to be great! Keep posting the progress - and good luck!

Troglodyte, the 14 gun savage ship
Captain Braunsfeld replied to Dunkleosteus's topic in Pirate MOCs
Definetely pre-historic!! -
Quite impressive. Good work! I have not seen something like this before. And I wonder how difficult it will be to turn them into real-life models. A German ship? With this flag? Well. Since this flag officially has only come up in the 20th century, something must be wrong I would recommend to switch to Prussia, however, I do not recall that Prussia has been a seapower in any time of their history.... Still: Your design is cool! (Such large ships - only 14 cannons?)
-
Thanks Mr. Townsend. You are probably right, I should try something else for the sails. Or I could just continue with miniature pictures
-
Very beautiful - well done. Your sails are fine, nothing to worry about. I wish I had such fine sails. How did you do the bow section? Can you add a pic or two?
-
Mijnheer! You made it! Congratulations - this a superb MOC. And your photoshopping-skills are a perfect addition to you building capabilities - I actually tend to envy both! WOW!

The torsos are not my design. I found them in some decal database - most likely it was somewhere in this forum (but I could not find it now).

[pid][/pid] 162B Ahoy! It had been on my mind for some time to MODify the Black Pearl (because it was such a small and poorly fitted ship). Now I have found the time - but probably the result needs to be discussed. So here is the MOMOD (which is My Own MODification): Here we are facing the first challenge related to the Black Pearl: It is mostly black, at best dark grey and dark brown in a few parts. This means: YOU DO NOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE PICTURES! And it looks a lot like something the monster fighters might be after. Nothing more depressing than a combination of black and dark grey in the world of LEGO... This is why I took the pictures outside - just to catch some rays of sun and make it look a bit better. Then you can see that I added a deck and four cannons (however, the standard red-painted wood is too lively for the Black Pearl...). I changed the bow a bit: But then I basically stopped. It was great fun to MODify the "Queen Anne's Revenge". Unfortunately I am not really happy with the Black Pearl. May this serve as "warning" or "inspiration" for you to try something else

[pid][/pid] 161A Hi there! Some time back I was lucky to obtain the hull parts for almost 2 Spanish ships. So I was curious to find out how far I could get in re-inventing the good old Spanish Armada! However, I tried to include some modification - partially because I preferred my ideas, partially because of lack of bricks So, here they come (as they are in blue and white I tried to go for a new background, but I will admit easily that red is not the right colour for the sea...) This is something which I quite like: You can remove the grey part of the deck to access the hold. There they go, sailing away into the sunset: This was a bit of a retro-approach. So I will go for something more modern next time. (And more heavily armed...) Till then, happy easter!
-
Very nice - inclusion of monkey is alway welcome! I like it!
-
Great way to build a large fleet (of small ships)
-
Very helpful ... for me to man my airships! Thanks!
-
Good stuff!
-
Did the parrot kill the pirate?
-
Hey, this is kind of "retro", isn't it? But that doesn't mean it is bad - quite the opposite. These redcoats and bluecoats got me into the pirate theme! Great stuff. Thanks for posting!

Guided Missile Corvette: LSS Rio Grande (KG-01)
Captain Braunsfeld replied to Laura Beinbrech's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Looks good - I like the torpedoes! -
Great stuff. Tank, Balloon and Plane are my favourites!
-
Looks promising - Thanks for sharing the work in progress with us. Not sure about how far black and yellow should go. I'll judge once the work is completed :-) Masts? Should be ok with 2x2 round bricks. Keep going!
-
What a beauty! I am impressed (and envious ) The rigging is truely fantastic!

Escape from Sabre Island - A Brickfilm
Captain Braunsfeld replied to dastolidigital's topic in Pirate MOCs
This is great. Well done! I especially like the key role, which the monkey is playing -
Great stuff! Beautiful design. I haven't managed to figure out how you've done those decorations in red and blue - looks marvellous. You asked for "suggestions on suitable minifig crew parts which work with flesh colored heads and hands". Well, I've been using the cavalry guys for the heads - they came with "The Lone Ranger", but they have white hands, except for only the lone ranger himself...
-
Great stuff! A few things, however, look a bit too modern for me (the metal sliding door?)
