Captain Blackmoor

Two very nice things in one picture: 1- The ship of course! I see progress in the rigging, but if I look at your title, it's not going too well. I still can't wait till this beauty is finished. I have some issues with the rigging on my ship too... 2- Just what Mr. Spielbrick said: You have a very nice painting at the wall.

Aaah... how sweet. I like the jail and the story a lot. I even see the letter has a postage stamp on it while she is so close. Good MOC.

I'm planning to go too, along with a few other lads from eurobricks.

You forgot one: From the previous big castle theme.

Certainly!

Or maybe he deserved it... :pir-skull: I like this MOC. Very funny indeed.

I must say this is very nicely done! The Castle, church and first house are my favi's. The buildings look somewhat 'clean' for that age but those MOCs are great! Can't wait to see more MOCs from you in the future!

It has guns, 12 on the lower deck and 12 on the upper deck, without swivel guns and forechasers. But there are no cannons in it at these pictures. Thanks for your compliment! Thanks for your kind words TLV. Funny thing is you are the only one (except me) who has seen it a lot of times already. I think I should remove the wheels from the cannons to make space. I can't make the deck more dedicated, the tumblehome effect will be lost then. Thanks for your kind words YnyklY!

The stern is very nice and full of decorations, which I like! The little flowers are a very nice addition, the red trim too.

I think this is quite nice so far. I like the colour sheme. The figurehead is nice too but I don't like the red colours in the figurehead. The red colour in the rest of the ship looks great though. Do you have any pictures of the stern? Great work so far!

Here is my EBCCB module: The bank. It took some time but here it is! The front of the building, I choose for a tan building with columns for a distinguished look. The back of the building. To make some details at the wall I've made some windows with heavy iron bars in it. It has a secure look now so the gold inside will be safe. The guard on the top of the wall is being shot by a member of the thieves guild... So nobody notices another thief running to a hole in the cellar wall of the bank. The interior of the bank himself. Here is the cellar, filled with coins, gold and gems. Soon there will be an empty space here if the Thieves guild succeeds in the bank raid... That was it! Hopefully you've enjoyed it, comments always appreciated!

And so did I.

You're right about the he/she names. That's why it is the LA Formidable. I don't know why I like France so much while I'm Dutch. I actually like all the countries but France has something with military power and military history. That's a Playmobil bottle indeed. I don't like the Belville bottles and Playmobil bottles are easily to attach to Lego bricks. You don't need to be a shipbuilding expert to give me some building tips!

Agreed! Wigs all the way!

Everything for the best! And I thought spending 100 euro for a few BL orders was a lot... I have to agree with everything what has mentioned above, I have no more suggestions. Great work!

Waw! I like it! Lots of cruelty in it, and I just love the palm tree technique! You've done a great job on this. I even see you have parrots in it. In my opinion, a MOC is not complete without a parrot in it.

The minifig is great indeed! Kids would be happy if this was a real Lego set.

This is a very remarkeble creation! Brilliant! So many details in here, and some nice techniques too! The secret room behind the large barrel is a nice idea. Keep it up!

Thanks for all the replies. And I defenitely need some yellow parrots for the stern indeed. There is an interior but the captain's cabin needs some work. It would be probably better to change the colour of the deck into a light colour. I've tried light grey like the deck below but doesn't fit with the rest of the colour sheme. Tan plates are hard to find in the quantity I need them. To save shipping costs I want to order them all in one store in one order but it's quite hard. So I need some more BL orders!

First update is at the next page!! As some of you might know I'm currently building the "La Formidable" along with Port Augustine but this day is special: The Grand opening of the "La Formidable". The ship is opened like the traditional way, because I like old traditions. First, the governor's wife will baptise the ship by smashing a bottle of champagne against it. Because the new ship has no cannons or a crew on board it might be an easy prey for enemies, the soldiers keep a sharp eye. Now the cruel part of the ceremony... Before the ship is tasting the water, it's still in the dry dock. Some poles keep the ship from shoving into the sea. To shove the ship into the sea, the poles should be removed. And so they did, until the last one. This pole is very dangerous because if you take this one the ship will roll over you if you aren't fast enough. It was a tradition to let a prisoner take the last pole, if he made it he was set free. If he didn't made it....we'll find out. The prisoner walks to the last pole... He takes it... He runs for his life... But the poor lad didn't made it and was crushed by the ship. :pir-skull: It finally floats! As you see the hull is completed! The stern was a hard part to do and it still could use some improvements but I'm happy till now. As you see I couldn't resist to put some parrots on it again. I've created a tumblehome effect in the hull and tiled it. The rings on it are for the rigging. Another picture. It has quite a length and needs a lot of space to not to be damaged. I was wondering if tan decks would look better or not. Well, that was it for now. Hopefully you've enjoyed it! I will post ship updates in this topic from now on. Comments appreciated as always! More on Brickshelf. EDIT: Poll added.

I have no idea, I don't know that much about Playmobil. Perhaps Ebay is a good idea. This is only the beginning...

I think this is the right size! It fits pretty well with the original Lego gun. Keep the custom pieces coming!!

Haha, some names are funny. We're lucky TLC isn't a Dutch company. The names are so..."childish".

I have to check the shops in the Netherlands this weekend, till now there's nothing here.
