Captain Blackmoor

Are you sure this is not just plain bumping? Once maydayartist has an update he is more then willing to show it I think, so he will bump his own thread.

And what a beauty she has become! The shape is perfect, the colours are nice too. I had expected a chekered pattern somewhere first, but this is perhaps even better! Your rigging is top-notch, and I can't wait to see the Elizabeth print on them! The deck details are amazing too, nicely tiled decks and it are the small things which make the large things beautiful. I can't wait to see the next ship, keep it up!

Whoa! Nice find! I'm sure this is useful for many shipbuilders! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you Hendawg! There are some detailed cabin pictures on my brickshelf. Lattice windows were uncommon in the late 17th century, the perfect window however would consist of 6 smaller windows in one instead of 4 which Le Fourageux has now. Thank you Darth Yogi. Now for some information: In October 2010 Le Fourageux has been at Legoworld, the place where I discovered how fragile the whole ship actually was. You could almost stand on it, but if you moved it sideways the ship fell apart quite easily. Now, that has changed! The hull has undergone a massive update, and she is now a minifig scale third-rate ship of the line carrying 64 or 74 guns. She is wider (now 48 studs) and longer, although I have no idea how long exactly. Also because she isn't finished yet at the stern. The ship is completely modular and I'm slowly working my way towards the stern, with so much new techniques. I have added a lot of dark blue in it now as well and the interior has never been so detailed before. The stern should become the crown of my work, and my own expectations are high as I have developed new techniques which make it possible to build in weird curves. I wasn't too happy with the flat bow either, so I have upgraded the bow as well by using a brand new technique. And it works! The bow looks impressive and it even scares me sometimes. I will include pictures soon, as I somehow lost my camera charger.. And I do not own such a fancy mobile with a camera. I'll try to get my hands on a friends' camera, as ordening a new charger takes so long... So... just some information for you guys, feel free to ask questions! Cheers!

Admiral Croissant and I will probably join you guys too.

This looks really cool, nice choice of colours too! I only would make the whole structure a bit wider. Now it is quite high and narrow. Keep it up!

Unfortunately we do see the problem, as we had these discussions before. In the end it wraps up to a bunch useless posts and arguements like Erdbeereis said, and the topic goes to nowhere. We have the Blue vs. Red tournaments once in a while so it's there where you pick a side and trash the other side. As for now I'll lock this thread up. Feel free to start another one when your project is getting a better shape so people can discuss about it. And for those who want to know, I'm a Bluecoat.

Would you please resize your pictures to a maximum of 800x600? A link to a tutorial how to resize pictures is in my signature. Already thanks.

Whoa! Suddenly an amazing ship out of nowhere! And what a beauty she is! The colours are nice, the shape is perfect, the sails are even better and everything is so detailed! Truely an amazing vessel, I only miss the name at the stern, and perhaps you can change the headrails to yellow, but that's about it! Nice lanterns too.

I like it! The masonry looks cool but it's the wooden part that stands out for me. Nice job and keep 'em coming!

What exactly does this mean?

If you order these parts on BrickLink it shouldn't be too expensive. LDD is indeed very expensive. It's a nice fort, it looks really good! In real bricks it would certainly be one of the best forts ever build. Are you planning to do that? It would be lovely! By the way, there is a link in my signature to a tutorial about picture deeplinking. So your pictures show up here without using your storage! Hope it might help!

That is a nice idea! Gods and mythical monsters from that era were also popular! E.g. Poseidon, Zeus, Medusa...

The project is getting better and better everytime I peek in this great topic. That building is just awesome! I can't wait for more pictures, keep us posted!

A nice review from a set which was unknown to me. Nicely done! You are quite lucky too having these rare colour parts in your posession. Thanks for the review.

Not Concordia, but Concord! Le Concorde in French, HMS Concord in British, Hr.Ms. Concorde in Dutch, something like that depending on her nationality. Nice ship too! A link to the tutorial how to deeplink pictures can be found in my signature. Hope it might help a little. I have also moved this thread to the MOC-forum.

I like it. But a few plants and texture differences would improve your MOC. The red chimney looks a bit odd to me, I would replace it by a grey one. Keep it up!

Well, welcome! Good building to you too!

Sam Willets, please use the 'edit' function next time to edit your posts instead of posting again and again. A link to the tutorial how to deeplink pictures is in my signature, that might help to present your MOC. From what I can see it's a nice ship!

That looks like a decent vessel to me! Very detailed too, I really like the idea for the headrails. Very creative! Now you just need to add a lantern.

That is a very nice army you've got there. You deserve it to be proud on such a collection! Your cavalry looks splendid too, as do the other units. I have also moved this to the MOC-forum

Your pictures don't show up. Please fix it. I recommend you to use a different photo gallery. Brickshelf, Flickr, Photobucket or something similar. The link to a tutorial how to deeplink pictures correctly can be found in my signature. Also, the pictures should not exceed the 800x600 pixels limit. Hope this helps and already thanks!
