Over time, I have built a number of ships on LDD. With your help, they have gotten better and better! I'd like to show you my ships, and how they have changed over time.

My First Ship:

1 mast, 4 cannons. It also had some interior.

Empty stern:

My Second Ship:

My second ship shows improvements in my stern construction, and has many more cannon. my lower deck was too low, and the ship is far to top heavy. There was also no tumblehome. It was the first ship I posted here:

Someone once commented that the bow looked like that of a cargo ship:

Much more detailed stern:

Many cannon ports:

The sides are straight as a door:

The HMS Panther

This was my first ship to feature tumblehome. It had less cannon, but was much more detailed. It has the color scheme of the HMS Victory:

I tried out a new, better sloped hull, and it was much more realistic:

The cabin is based on Brickbeard's bounty, which I had aquired a week earlier:

At my port, which I had built in sync with the ship.

ou're getting better and better at it Admiral!

What strikes me as odd though, is that non of you ships has a rudder?

no clue... I find rudders a bit hard to put on brick built hulls. I'll probably retrofit HMS Panther and HMS Colossus with rudders when I have time... but that's for later:

HMS Colossus

The name says it all. This was my biggest ship, with 2 decks and over 40 cannon. The same sloping technique was adapted for this ship. it had a tumblehome, which really made it more realistic.

I used a simmilar color scheme:

The Stern:

With HMS Panther:

HMS Monarch

And that brings us to today. My latest vessel, The HMS Monarch, incorperates everthing that I have learned in my Half a year at Eurobricks. I plan to purchase this ship eventually, and add hulls. It will be the first decent MOC ship that I will build in real:

The bow slopes:

Tumblehome:

Over 2 years, my ship design has changed alot. What will be next?

the colossus is really cool ^^ I love it ! the others one are nice too!

Well, I can see a lot of improvement! Your skills are getting better and better. But have you never made ships with real lego? And are you planning to make one?

I certianly am planning to build a real ship-I'm trying to get the HMS Monarch built by august. I'd like to buy my other ships, but the colossus costs $500 by itself.
