Bodi Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Fisrt I should apologize for the bad quality pictures, I tried to adjust the setting of my camera today, for making it even worser. As you can see here, the drakkar is made with prefab shrouds, I possess now several of them. Since I decided to make rigging with threads from now on, I thought firstly that these shrouds became rather useless in ship building, then an idea came to my mind, I remember having seem somewhere a boat made from those shrouds. I must try the same. Now the story: - Oh Mom, Dad is back! - What the h***, why are you back so soon, my dear? - No big deal, I just transfered the command of our ship to someone more competent, it seems that I know nothing about sailing. - Arrr, told ya, I always wanted to give you a navigation lesson, you never listen to me, you are always busy with weightligting, and dueling, Now come with me, it's time to bring out my family boat. - Well, my dear, this is a boat, it has sail and oars. - No, don't pay attention to the cauldron, we haven't time for dinner. - But my dear, there's plenty of food in the dinghy. - No and no, that's our survival ration, we must br prepared to everything. Vive le Roi! Quote
Bregir Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 A very nice brickbuilt longboat, sir - Of viking descendance myself, it is very pleasing to see! The sail appears a little small, and just two oars is probably too few, but using those shrouds worked out great for the hull. The other little boat is good too. The facade is very nice too, and could definitely be licensed too. I like the amount of depth you have given it, as well as the different details. Could suggest a few more details on the grass, but other than that, good work. Quote
Ayrlego Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Very nice house Bodi and great use of the CMF base for the side of the boat. It's a lovely shape, I'd be interested to see how you attached the plates to get that shape and angle. The dingy is nice as well, although I'm curious as to why it is carrying a Yeti! 8 hours ago, Bodi said: Fisrt I should apologize for the bad quality pictures, I tried to adjust the setting of my camera today, for making it even worser They don't look too bad to me! Also, without wanting to sound like a grammar nazi, just a tip if English isn't your first language, we don't say 'worser', it would just be 'making it worse.' Not that it matters! Great build and welcome to BoBS! Quote
Brandon Stark Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Nice house and ship. The ship is great, but for the house I suggest you put some detail in front of it, maybe some rocks or foliage, or maybe a path leading up to the stairs. Otherwise, every part of the house is great. Quote

Thank you sire Bregir, you are right about the oars, they should be a lot more, I shall ask my son's permission to use a couple more, since he is the keeper of oars and all the lego accessories. 20 hours ago, Ayrlego said: Very nice house Bodi and great use of the CMF base for the side of the boat.

The fluffy dude in the dinghy is there to prevent maitre LaGaufre from stealing their ration. 19 hours ago, Brandon Stark said: Nice house and ship.

Tezclatipoca Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 This is a good build. The house is quite good even if it could have been greater with a little more details on the facade IMO. The Drakkar ship is really good ! You seem to have found the perfect hull design for it ! Not too hard to build and enough effective for a ship this size. A very good job sir ! Quote
Bodi Posted March 21, 2017 Author Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Hello, Faladrin, glad you like it. Concerning the hull design, I think it's ok for display, or play around in the hands of an Afol, definitely not for children, as it broke apart easily in the hands of my 5-year old boy, and for several times! For Ayrlego,here are the pictures showing the hull: Edited March 21, 2017 by Bodi Adding pictures Quote
