Frigate, a WIP

[Errorist]

The necessary bricks have arrived and I have started construction on the frigate. ;-)

[El Bucanero]

Now that's interesting!! Finally one of your mighty constructions will come to live. *sweet*

Since we don't have any pictures yet, could you perhaps tell a little backstory on the ship? Like the amount of guns, or who's the captain.

And on which of your creations will you base this frigate?

Eager to see some progress!

Here's the answer to some of your questions.

She will start out as a 24 gun frigate but with the idea to transform her into a 50 gun ship over time.

She's based on my latest design and will be built following that design more or less :-P

In time I will give her a small history and so forth. Captain's name is still unknown but i'm thinking about one as of now :-P

ps Pics will be coming pretty soon ;-)

So that would be this one?

To transform into a 50 guns ship later? Very interesting.. 8-

[Lord Of Pies]

Sounds interesting, I look forward to seeing it!! *y*

[Bonaparte]

Could you post a link or some pictures to the LDD design you are building?

I'm very much looking forward to pictures of this project!

[Errorist]

Here's the design ;-)

Hard to say anything yet.. Try to post WIP pictures too.

[Mister Phes]

[/using obnoxiously large, bold print cause i want to]

That's awesome Errorist *y*

Having one of your beautiful creations come to life. *wub*

Indeed my ship is (slowly) coming to life as you can see on this ultrapoor quality pic:

This is part of the bow and about half of it will be under water by the time the ship is finished.

Eventually there will be no white bricks visible on the outside of the hull anymore *sweet*

And to answer Mister Phes's question, yes I will be adding sails.

She will also be string rigged and have every possible detail that can be built with lego ;-)

[Captain Ka-Boom]

How much is the estimate of the cost?

That pic was clear to me. 8-|

Maybe i need glasses. ;-)

[SirNadroj]

Looking good! *y* Can't wait to see some more pictures! 8-

I would guess that the total costs will be around 1500$ so for me it's around 1300

[Errorist]

Well here you have some new pics.

The're taken with all of the crew i got right now.

The final crew will contain about 4 times more minifigs *sweet*

In M&C the HMS Surprise had a crew of 197 souls and it was a 28 gun ship.

I saw 63(ish) MF's in that pic.

lets see...

(for)tymes(six-T three) is two times Gamma(6);

then add the denominator of 0.083333333333333333333333

and i get 252 souls on that ship.

That's a lot of ppl.

Maybe you only need 3 times the amount. X-D

Unless of course it's an american ship, then you need to put way more ppl than you need. :-D

BTW: This frigate is looking awesome so far *y*

Nah she remains french but she lready grew to become a 32gun ship so about 240-250 people is pretty ok i guess.

[El Bucanero]

This is really coming along nicely!! 8-

[Capn Frank]
