Claus von Nassau

After alot of time, i've blown the dust of her, and started working on her again. i am now trying to get the bow the way i want it but ist not very easy, and still the stern doesn't seem to fit to the sides. claus von nassau

thank you for all your compliment's i've been working on the skelekton of the ship an i'am making some small thing's for the interior. and breaking my head over a goor way to create the bow, still no luck. somebody has to take on that monster 3 decker your building best of luck to your build of your armada claus

it looks great!! i realy love the detail you put in the interior's of the room's

thank's for the compliment. i've been studing the works of the master builders. i've have learned a few trick's from there work. claus thanks for the compliment and the advice i will try adding more color to the stern, i would like making a stair on the side bud i have no idea, how to do that, i've been creating the tumblhome with 75 degree slope's so i have no place to attach them. forgive me my poor english, i've not been using it for awile. claus

looks good from what i can tell, love the lego(human)canonball claus

i've done that, but some how it did not look the way that i wanted it to look like. thanks for the compliment about the stern. i'm still a few brick's short for the tumblehome and perhaps a few flag's for the gunports. claus

After some time to rebuild it for the 4th time, i've got some bl orders and started building again. credit for the checkers are for CGH and mr. Bonaparte. its a great techniqe to break the big blue side's wich alway's have been a problem. advice and idea's are welcome. claus this is the last update for a wile, my wife has given birth to a lovley baby girl, for now i dont have the time to finish this project, perheps in time i can make some ajustments and continu building

taking it apart for the 4th time wasn't as hard as doing it for the first time. i've have a lot of dutch build ship's to work from and the stern is alot higher than on english or french ship's. and i have tried to give it a dutch look with high stern. perhap you know any dutch 3 deck ship's? please let me know. but i am still awaiting some bricklink order's to start the build of the V4 this is still testing out different techniqe's claus

your ship's are really looking good. keep up the good work claus

as you can see by the flag its a bluecoat ship or french. i an working on something very nice to make between the decks, it would also break the big blue side. but there for i am still awaiting a bricklink order or 2 before i can realy start building. its just a test to see how the side wil come out "Her Majesty" is ruler of the falconian empire (my bluecoats are the imperial version of my black falcon's remeber my military post )

your ship looks good, very much a small pirate or privateer vessel. it just your sail's are very very big. when you ad 2 more midsections it would look much better and more in proportion. but that is just my humble opinion. claus

as you can read in the text above the pictures this white section wil be brown, read the text before placing coment and advice the colors are compareble to the carribean clipper wich is ofcourse the the offical lego ship of the bluecoats. thank you, claus

After the coment and advice of the best builder's we have on eurobricks. i've took apart the phoenix again. and started building it for the 4th time. its a wip and the white section conected to the hull will be brown and this also counts for the black inv slope's. as alway's coment and advice is welkom, and if anybody has some idea's please let me know update 31-12-09 to make the hull look more realistic i've tried to make it more round c&c are welcome Claus von Nassau

it looks nice and when you browse on brickshelf you will find many more. i use them for my grenadiers.

This looks very very good. i love all the small details. you realy did a good job here keep up the good work and welkom to eurobricks Claus

Who that is the best digital ship i've ever seen!! it realy has the looks. does MLCAD give you a buildingguide or is that LDD i've it doese Post it on Brickshelf, perhaps somebody wil build it in real bricks. i would sure want to give it a try. awaiting your next MLCAD model Claus von Nassau

the figurehead has a story of its own. i've always been in to castle building and i wanted a change 3 years ago. so i've decided to build a schip. after i took it apart for the second time en started building again my little brother said: "like a phoenix its will rise from is ashes" i liked the name and suddenly there was a phoenix in a harry potter set........... a name and figurehead was born. i've decided to make it look more realistic or at least give it a try. and the stained glass wil return in the castle where it looked a lot beter. claus

that realy looks great. i must make my phoenix a 3 deck so that us bluecoats can put up a fight. where did you learned that techniqe. or did you leared it to your selve? keep up the good work claus

i've done some thinking the last few days. and there's goinig to be a version 4! around the holiday's iám taking it apart (again) i've been looking around for some detaild pictures of real ship's and found a lot ideas to work out. the new size will be 9 midsection's and 3 decks ps the stained glass is suposed to be a painting. i've seen it on the batavia and that's how i've got the idea. advice, comment and constructive advice are welkom Claus

As a wealthy merchant, you need a good protection. the more money you make, the more enemy's you make. pay the right prize and your man will be as loyal as dog's His name: Claus von Nassau some of his enemy's say that he even has influence in the eastern lands and the arabian desserts now he looks towards the new found land across the great ocean. what kind of good's will he find there Claus

That's alot better. it looks nice. perhaps making the sails out of cloth would give it that extra touch to it. but where did they hide the rum! claus

all my other horses are being used by my midieval knights, and there using only white horses is really unnatural. perhaps i make some pictures of them anf place them in the historic forum claus

in my childhood the blue coats were disandents of the black falcons and the red coats of the lions faction
