Elephant Knight

Well, it's actually been a while since I completed it and took the pics, but I have finally updated the first post with pictures of the completed ship! EKnight

Mine is now in warehouse! Getting excited, but my wallet is not. Eknight

Not too far out from getting it, my order has changed to "in progress"! Eknigh

Sail making is in progress. A very slow process, I might add. Eknight

And here I thought the figure head would be met with some eye rolls. When the ship is finished, I will tell the story behind why I choose it. Eknight

Who is this Stan you speak of? Eknight

I don't use them in their intended use, but my MOCs also aren't designed to be played with by children. I also don't have any carpet in my house. My kids are already playing with Lego, but so far they are mostly only interested in things with wheels. Eknight

What a formidable ship! Absolutely massive! It's a scale that I don't know if I will ever build, I love seeing these massive MOCs, especislly when they are as well built as this. The large brick built flag worries me a bit. Does it ever fall off due to its weight? Eknight

I do not make instructions for my MOCs, sorry. Eknight

Here is another shot.

Thanks for your kind words! I will try to get a couple more pictures when I can find a bit of time. Eknight

Ahoy there! I have completed my frigate for the Governors! A full broadside of cannons! A close up on the head figure and bow of the ship: So, the story behind the headfigure is something like this: One day my brother and I were talking about hockey, and how one player (Brad Marchand) had a French sounding name. And since he is known to be a bit of a "rat", the idea of using that printed mouse/rat slope for a headfigure on a ship somehow took place. The deck detailing is as much as I ever do. still, I am happy with it. The cabin got some detailing in it, not something I do all the time these days. "Here is the map, sir!" "Umm, are you forgetting something?" As always, let me know what you think! EKnight

I don't think I have ever been more disapponted in a ship than the Brick Bounty. Eknight

And the angles of the two ships are completely identical as well, which doesn't help. Eknight

I seem to be in a minority in that I think I may actually like this a bit more than the previous. I thought the first one was too colourful, this one is a lot more muted. 4 figs vs 3 and a skeleton is preferred, and they do look great! When I actually have it built in hand I will know for sure which I like more, but for now, I am kinda leaning towards this new one.

Good or bad, I always like new pirate ships. But I definitely get more excited when its good as opposed to bad. Eknight

I saw the minifig legs and thought "Part of the ship, part of the crew". Eknight

Well Lego.com was as slow as molasses, but I got my order in! Should arrive just in time for my birthday! EKnight

I have resubmitted this to BDP Series 10. I have been much too busy, and also just unmotivated to do any changes, so it is exactly the same as before. There are a couple of things I wouldn't mind to do to improve/change it, but as I said, I had no time and motivation. EKnight

Price here in Canada is $489.99. Its more expensive than the Pearl, but more parts and minifigs, so I accept the price. Absolutely no way I am going to miss out on this ship. If I had the cash, I would get 2, one for the red ciats, one for the blue coats. I like how there is three different flag options, and two different name options. Great job, can't wait til August when it is likely to arrive.

My copy has arrived, won't be able to get building until kids are in bed. Can't wait! Eknight

Mine has now shipped! Eknight

Mine has made the change as well. Won't be long now! Eknight

A wonderful clean build! It could use some minifigs on it to liven it up a but, but otherwise it is suburb. Well done! Eknight

When i checked earlier this afternoon, mine was still "in progress" as well. Eknight
