Glad You like it :)

Hi! My new ship I built some time ago: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=567121

I build it over 5months, and it took me around 2 full days to make the rigging... I finished it at 4am before the exhibition in Gdańsk :)

Dzięki :) The yellow colour is a cheaper substitute for pearl gold... and as i have some trouble with destinguishing colours i did not see a problem with the browns :P

Although Gdynia did not yet exist in XVIII it is where she is anchored. The rigging is exactly in a colour i wanted :)

106D Hi! I have finally managed to make some photos of my ship. It is a Polish frigate named Johannes Casimirus Rex after one of Polish kings from XVII century. It took me almost half a year to make it, and I still think she needs more work. But after 3month exhibition in Gdańsk I'm not gonna change anything, so here are the photos: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=475890 The rigging and sails are custom (and a pain in the neck), although i'm not happy with the sails at all. There is no interior, but there will be in my next ship :) A lot credit goes to Cpt Green Hair for his tutorial and a few helpful words. Thanx! http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/MOCs/Pirate-MOCs/ORP-Jan-Kazimierz/pict1758.jpg

The problem i see with them is that they have some space between each brick, those, old ones dont have it that big.

Thanks :) Her name is: OJKM (=HMS) Johannes Casimirus Rex. Im already planning another one but i need to wait for the exhibition to end, as i need to use my parts (again...)

I finished the ship. It's not as good as i liked it to be, but i still like her :) i didn't do any photos yet, as it's on our exhibition, but here are some photos from it (more will come in around 3 months):

I had a feeling that the masts are to tall, i'll lower them today. I'll also try to move the front a little backwards, although i'll have to change something to give it more stability. I won't change the stern, I like it :) but I know what you mean, I had to do it like this to keep the cost of the project lower. Next one will be better. And it still looks much better than my first one which i couldn't post because of the way it looked like :P About 50% of the ship is from parts I already had, and the money I spend on it was only around 40-60GBP. Unfortunately I have to finish her before 8.07 because we(LugPol) are making an exhibition in Gdansk, which You are all of course welcome to visit :)

OK, thanx :) I can put some pictures if you like, but they will be cell-phone quality EDIT: Sorry for the size, and quality, better will be available next week. The figurehead is only temporary :P http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/MOCs/Pirate-MOCs/ORP-Jan-Kazimierz/image0030.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/MOCs/Pirate-MOCs/ORP-Jan-Kazimierz/image0032.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/MOCs/Pirate-MOCs/ORP-Jan-Kazimierz/image0033.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/trubal/MOCs/Pirate-MOCs/ORP-Jan-Kazimierz/image0034.jpg

Hi again! I have a small problem: The masts (the parts built with 11s high kolumns) are very fragile, I can't tilt the ship a few degrees, because the fall down. Is there a way to fix it? Maybe fitting in them a hose would work, as they have a hole going through them.

Thats a perfect explanation to a small problem :P Thanx
