thanks for taking it up for me, that phoenix was build 5 or 6 years ago, with the bsb as a base, and if i would have liked it... it wouls not be in the shape it is now becoming and because i want it to be as good as it can be, i will keep taking it apart and rebuild it until there is nothing left to inprove. Claus

i've just taken a closer look, (sober, and no beer or rum near my) and you are right about the window's, and i've already been thinking a way to change it. when i have some more spare time, i will start building and as soon as i can i will post some more pic, for coment and advice This is how she was, before i've had any advice of the master builders over here http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/klaas/ship/sideupdate.jpg This is what it can become with the right people willing to help (still a wip, and the stern is out of date) thank you so far CGH, an blackmoor and al the others Claus

I've had some spare time this evening, so i've took the stern appart again, and just started to brain stom on how and what, useing the picture CGH provided, this is just a set up, non of the colors are in the right place, and ofcourse i haven't yet decorarted her, but i would realy like to hear your opinion, on the way the stern looks, im not really sure this is the way it schould be, luckely there are alot of more expericend builders here. advice and coment are always welcome, Claus

it looks good, but i realy need to look closely to see that you used the bsb as base, you really put in some effort in to it claus

@ admiral crossant thank you for posting the link i did not had time to do that

check the great torso libery in the custom section of the site check the great torso libery in the custom section of the site

that is really one picture that has alot of inspiration to it, i already have so ideas coming up as i post this reply. claus

dear CGH thank you for your relpy i totaly see your point! but the problem is that the rear window is placed 2 stud wider out of the ship than the first window, cause i wanted it to look a bit round. in dutch the word is 'erker' but in english i dont know wat its called. that was the look i was trying to create. and the problem withe te sides of the stern i also so your point there, i was building the sides appart from the schip, useing minifig lenght 5 studs high, and i need to change that also, perhaps tonight between 21.00 and 00.00 i cant build a bit, when my little girl is sweet a sleep (don't count on it ) claus

wow, that is huge and a very nice piece of brick-art! do you mind of sharing your bow build techniqe? for the poenix i've tried it over 6 times, and the result was so bad i didnt want to place it online i was to a shamed of myself. but your ship is realy lovely! to bad its a (red coat) british ship. hahahaha keep on the good work and i cant wait untill we see te final result claus

crosaint, sorry i've let my self go again. closing this would be best for all

@ efullner: you realy don't understand... do you..... you poor poor boy

thank you all! just wait untill you get one of your own i've always been terrible with baby's but when its your own child, it wonderfull. so there is still hope for you i need to watch here from 23.00 untill 01.00 cuse then my wife can sleep without distubance, so perhaps there are a few minutes of spare lego time

the idea that you even dare to compare that histrory to a movie, just for the record IT WAS NOT A MOVIE, IT IS REALITY!!, @ CP Becker, We can't Change history, but abuseing a toy to create Hitler........ if this where eurobricks is going.... i dont like it! @ the moderators, My opinion is that this guy should appolgize, and when he post something like this again, he should be banned! claus

sorry i just over reacted, cause half my familie died during ww2

hey admiral thanks for your advice, abut the sides of the stern you are right it is way to steep, i have tried to change it but, that didn't work out. on 15-9 my wife has given birth to a wonderfull baby girl, for now is takes all the spare time i've had, so the phoenix will be put aside for a wile. claus von nassau

this is realy sick!! if YOU WOULD ONLY THINK ABOUT THE MILLIONS THAT HAVE DIED IN WW2 YOU WOULD NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY SICK!!!!

i have to disagree, the dragon on the flag is historicly more a normandic dragon then a chinese dragon, but that is just my opinion, but for the armada privateer i would go for the flag of the bull- knight of kk1

I've got the pictures!! this is still the prototype so there is still room for inprovement, if you have an idea to improve it please let me know claus

hey guys, i've took the stern off again en started to build a new prototype based on the ldd model, it really looks good (but that is just my opinion) still working to shape it in the right way to the tumblehome think i will try a snot techniqe to do that, also have i made a great solution to the problem i've had with the bow. unfortunaly i've lost my usb-wire to nconect my cam to my pc. at the moment i can't upload anny pictures

my bluecoat army claus

don't get mad at me for bumping this, but i really could use your help, i need some extra opinions about the stern, does it look good (the shape, detail's will be made ofcourse) iám not realy certain and would like some advice form you outher shipbuilders. regards, Claus

wow your work is amazing, they really look good!

After some work today, i've started to change te the stern, This is ho it was this is it now C&C are welcome

my camera broke down, and the cam on my sellphone is not very good, but thanks for the advice i will certainly take more pictures while building and post them ofcourse claus

that building looks realy cool, perhaps someday we will see it in lego by your hands build
