[MOD] Captain Kraggs pirate boat rebuild
Elephant Knight replied to thewatchman's topic in Pirate MOCs
The best part is the minifigure version of captain Kragg. Even without you telling me it was him, I think I may have known. I don't HATE the 4+ Pirates. They have their uses. I want to MOC more s=with some of the parts, but haven't gotten around to it yet. EKnight -
It was blue? That's about it. EKnight

Well I'm from Canada, so, yes on the former British Colony thing?

Another update. worked on the masts. still waiting on a Bricklink order to come in to finish the mizzen mast, but the fore and MAin are pretty much done, outside of some fencing needed on the platforms on the main mast. HMS Redoubtable WIP HMS Redoubtable WIP HMS Redoubtable WIP EKnight

I don't build boats often for the Governors, or Blue Coats if you prefer, but I do on occasion. I actually built this last year, but only just got around to taking photos. Midway Midway Midway Midway It may be one of my best builds yet, it certainly feels like it to me. I am annoyed at that fact, because it is a governor ship. They are easily the third, maybe the fourth favorite faction of mine. Imperials and Pirates being the top two (Not necessarily in that order) and the Governors and Armada vie for third place. Tell me what you think! EKnight

Thanks. I had originally planned to to have the third deck use my own, smaller designed cannons, but then I realized I pretty much had enough real cannons to do the job, I thought, heck, why not? And yes, it does have cannons on both the port and starboard sides. EKnight

Well, here's another update. Got a mast up finally, but waiting on parts to continue. Always waiting on parts.... HMS Redoubtable WIP The main mast is done, and its standing at almost 40 inches off the table now. HMS Redoubtable WIP EKnight

This is impressive. I may have to steal a few styling choices for my own port MOC. EKnight

It's a mask, so maybe it doesn't have an actual mouth? EKight

Sorry for the delay, but here's a picture. Top left, the thickest one I own (Minus the one I lost, and that lost net is irritating me, that was my oldest net, and had a distinct ripped corner, so I know it's missing.....) bottom two, hard to say if one is thinner than the other in the picture, but they looked a tad different in my hand. Net variations. by Elephant-Knight, on Flickr
-
In my collection of nets, I have noticed at least 3 different thicknesses. The first ones used were much thicker, then Lego switched to a thinner material, but they briefly had a point were it was even thinner than "normal" I'll see if I can take a pic. EKnight

Looking for some of the wackier pirate ship MOCs
Elephant Knight replied to Corydoras's topic in LEGO Pirates
I approve of this. Very much. Reminds me of when I did this: Floating Russian (1) EKnight -
Got another update for you all. The hull is almost completely done at this point, just need a Bricklink order or two to arrive before I can finish it. Need those same Bricklink orders to start on the masts, so progress is at a bit of a halt then. Redoubtable WIP by Elephant-Knight, on Flickr Redoubtable WIP by Elephant-Knight, on Flickr It's pretty much exactly 4 feet long at this point, not including the flag at the end. EKnight

Here's another update on the bow. It's pretty much done, other than the bowsprit, of course. HMS Redoubtable WIP HMS Redoubtable WIP EKnight
-
Very nice, I like it, but could we get a couple shots from farther back? All your pictures have the top of the masts cut off, It's a bit harder to appreciate a ship fully if you can't see the whole thing. EKnight

Been a good weekend so far. starting to hit some snags, mostly that of waiting for Bricklink orders to arrive, but also having some cabin fever, I mean, cabin troubles. I think it's looking a bit too short and wide. I'm going for a HMS Victory look as much as possible Redoubtable WIP Redoubtable WIP Redoubtable WIP Redoubtable WIP Any thoughts on how to improve the cabin, or should I just carry on with what I have?
-
Not bad, I can always use more cannons. In fact, I need just one more for my Redoubtable MOC. NOw, I wonder if we will be able to pick up more than one? Any clue as to the release date? EKnight
-
Got some more work done las night. The third gun deck has it's walls up, and the bow has gotten some work done too. Need to Bricklink more of those soft axles before I can finish it, though. Redoubtable WIP Redoubtable WIP EKnight

Well, it's only been about 9 months, but I finally have been able to work on the Redoubtable again! HMS Redoubtable WIP HMS Redoubtable WIP I had been holding off building for various reasons. Firstly, because I was waiting on cannons to come in with Lugbulk. I'm not having any interior on the boat, but still want/need all the cannons. Then I was in the middle of a slow move, getting married, and now, finally, have free time again after getting settled. EKnight
-
This is wonderful, looks so much like a set! Really wish Lego had released more than two sets for the Armada. EKnight
-
Yes, I see what you mean. I do have a place holder dark red at the bow, waiting for a tan to come in from Bricklink.The stern is likely to use it as well, maybe the longer one, like the Barracuda Bay BSB. Not sure yet exactly how it's going to look at the stern as of yet.
-
The picture do make it seem a short, yeah. Doesn't look as short IRL. As it is, The hull is just over 100 studs long, with about 6 or so studs from the front sticking out. it's 26 studs at the widest point. The stern is likely to slope out a bit, but not much. I'm hoping it wont look as short and wide one the sides are built up, as they are going to be sloping in quite a bit. If by tiles you mean the cheese slopes, yeah, that is my plan exactly. EKnight

Got some progress done, but now waiting on bricklink orders before I can really go much further. HMS Redoubtable HMS Redoubtable It gets quite wide at the middle, at least compared to what I have done previously. Not being constrained by the prefab hulls, and all that. Tose were just too small for this project. And here are some blown up shots to get a sense on how I constructed the bow.
