Always a pleasure to see a frigate. Great job!

These are some cool MOCs! I was playing with the idea to build the rest of the hull for my Brig exactly the way you did, so it is nice to finally see how it could look.

Really great ship! Two deckers are my favourites, especially 50- and 74- gun ships. Don't ask me why:D

@kurigan Hey, sorry for the belayed answer, wasn't active here for a long time. Thanks for the praise:) I totally understand you on that pride side:D I bet there are a lot of techniques you came up with first. Especially, if you have been an influence for @Mr. Townsend's Miss Elizabeth. I mentioned him because this whole ship was motivated by his and at the beginning I thought about copy it exactly. And the technique from @Bregir was just new to me and very fitting. I try to give as much credit as possible, but a lot of techniques and ideas are quite common now and hard to trace back. But now as I think about it, to build the binnacle sideways was directly adopted from your latest HMS Ram Cat version. This was not an initial inspiration but part of troubleshooting coming from shortage of space, so I forgot to write about it.

This and the Leopard are great ships!

It will carry a sail:) Though I guess in this case it is more about helping with the steering/balancing the course than an actual speed increase. But it won't carry a sail as long as I have to finish the shipyard as the half-rigged state fits more. This is a good point. I thought about it, but usually don't do it, as it makes placing stuff on deck a bit more complicated. Should work with this one though.

I am happy with my new nearly finished ship. The foredeck is not an optimal solution, creating some gaps or tension because of brackets not used ideally, but should work. The rigging is inspired by the Thames sailing barges.

@Edmund Babbington Yes, it is a good start. Looking at your hull, I can't really say much but that you will naturally improve with each ship. With more bricks and more experience I'm sure you will build decent ships. I like that you limited our build to three colours. The name is very fitting. I would probably change the yellow brick in the rudder and the ones astern above the white stripe to black. If your brick collection allows it, I would also add another mast, maybe half or two thirds the height of the main mast, very astern.

Looks great! A cool capstan design.

These are some great building techniques and a nice representation. I found 8 different usages and then read @NOD's comment where he spotted the last one missing for me. A really cool idea and surprisingly clean.

The stove and the water pump are absolutely fabulous! But overall great builds and lively scenes!

Thank you all! I enjoy Myzec building a lot and will probably do some more scenes. Actually I wanted to use 6117 for the Myzec guards, but unfortunately couldn't find any of them. @Ayrlego Great to hear. Then I will split it into a small Arts & Culture build and a medium Commerce build. And you are welcome to integrate the snake into future projects.

Not sure yet which category to license it in.

Glory of Corrington task 10: Daily life of the Myzec First entry In the outskirts of Myzectlan there is a market where the farmers around Myzectlan can offer their goods. A few Myzec and Corrish guards and priests always are prepared to step in and prevent a ruckus. But most market days are quiet and the Myzec people have a fair exchange of wool, maize, pumpkins, seeds, spices, vegetables, farming equipment and all sort of handcrafted stuff. Among the visitors are some Corrish settlers. As it is typical for a agricultural market in the Myzec civilisation to have a snake related temple next to it, there is a house in honour of snakes. Though they are not part of the dualistic Myzec Pantheon, snakes are considered holy in the farming societies of Myzectlan. There are old stories of the snake's love for the soil to such an extend, it relinquished its legs to be closer to the earth and always feel its breath. By observing the snake's behaviour the Myzec people have a chance to avoid or prepare for natural catastrophies. Also the snakes help the farmers to keep their fields free of rodents by hunting them. I would like to ask if I could license this building two times, first as a small cultural build and then as a small or medium commerce.

The last two days I finally had some time to build again. I started two MOCs, one of which is a ship. The hull was inspired by @Bregir's photo on flickr: I'm always amazed how much you still can build with the bricks you already have, when you just start instead of sitting around and planning towards a specific result. My Galeas Buteo also came to existence this way. Only later did I buy a few parts to finish her. For this one I don't now which type of rig I should use. But I saw pictures of Thames sailing barges the other day and am intrigued. Wish you all a nice day!

I just checked and I got the first one with the copyright symbol. I got the re-release (6290). So maybe that or there is a difference between regions like with the cannons.

Indeed. Great job @Sebeus I

Here you go. @nimitstexan I used an inverted slope technique on my frigate. Though the hull at its broadest part is only 19 studs wide, I am content with both the shape (breadth-length-ratio) and the stability. Only the playability is missing, but I wasn't aiming for it and there would have been ways to integrate some features. Wish you good luck with your project!

I will check my flag as soon as I am at my parent's house. My first impression was that the upper flag might be the original, but it seems people already figured out it probably not being the case.

Great buildings!

Thanks:) @Brickwolf This time I really was worried about the photos because I usually wait for a more clouded day, as the shadows will look more natural. But still it worked.

Thank you guys! @Pdaitabird, @Mesabi and @Puvel

Thanks @Bodi, @Count Vroskri and @Fraunces! Yes, the bearded dude is a little bit weird:D

Great as always! Reminds me of the Aztec and Mayan towers in Age of Empires:)

In this thread I introduce three new ships for the Nation of Corrington: [Class IV] Galeas 'Buteo' [Class IV] Junk 'Marauder's Fate' (Name given by the Corries) [Class I] Gunboat 'Hildisvíni' The fourth ship I used for the story is an earlier build and I already posted in the Pirate MOCs subforum. To Rear-Admiral Fletcher Commander of the Royal Terra Novan Fleet A strange yet promising opportunity arises from the event that took place near our harbour's waters. On the 2nd of this month the Galeas 'Buteo', recently built in the Farrensman Shipyards, was about to enter port. Before she reached sighting distance, she was intercepted by a little Lotii vessel. Once slowed down another bigger Lotii ship approached with the intent to plunder, not knowing there were Corrish troops aboard, heading to Fort Nithsdale. The soldiers were able to hold the Lotii Forces back and attracted from gun shots and shouting the Gunboat 'Hildisvíni' entered the battle, preventing an escape of the larger vessel. Together with the 'Buteo's' crew, whose commitment I want to praise at this point, the soldiers entered the Lotii ship and overpowered the enemy forces. The small interception vessel took it's chance to flee. The Lotiis are held Prisoners of War in Fort Nithsdale. The 'Buteo', the 'Hildisvíni' and the Lotii Junk all safely entered port. A detailed report about the minor damages will be sent by the harbour administration. Here stationed naval officers already inspected the foreign vessel and came to the conclusion that the hull is to weak for an armament with cannons. Still the vessel holds some value. For such a low draught it is very spacious and the sailors are content with it's sailing capabilities. Therefore I recommend the Crown to put it in service as a troop carrier, able to partake in river or landing operations where shallow water often restricts our potential.
