Wellington Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Ship Ahoy! I present my first serious WIP. It's the EITC-Ship "Wicked Wench"...better known as the "Black Pearl" before she was burnt by Cutler Beckett. The ship was heavily inspired by the Black Pearl which can be seen in the POTC LEGO-Video-Game and pictures of the Wicked Wench I found on the internet. Remember it's a WIP and there's still a lot of work to be done but I couldn't resist to post some preliminary images. Enough words! Let's take a look at the first pictures! First of all a view from the portside The ship's bow The stern Now I positioned the masts at their future position Another angular shot from the stern with the masts I hope you enjoyed the first pictures! Replies and comments are welcome! Best Regards, Wellington Edit: The pictures are now resized. Quote
Captain Becker Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I will give my comments about the ship immidetly when i can see those pictures. Captain Becker Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I see the pictures, and it's a fabulous ship. I'll have some feedback for you, but you really need to resize the pictures to a maximum of 800x600 pixels! Quote

captain_flint Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 This is a really nice ship. Can't wait to see it finished. Quote
Hiawatha Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 It looks very good, great job! I see you have put a lot of detail into this MOC. Quote
Big Cam Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 That looks great, I love how I can see the black pearl in it, but you're right, it's before it went to hell. Great work. Quote
punkkid364 Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 That looks great, I love how I can see the black pearl in it, but you're right, it's before it went to hell. Great work. Literally! Quote
kurigan Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Wow! She looks great. Not really far enough alone to criticize, but I’ll defiantly follow your progress with interest. Quote
Sebeus I Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Very nice, I love the pearl gold on the stern, makes me want to make a different version of the Flying Dutchman Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Beautiful ship I like everything about it, except for 2 small things. Compared to this image, I think you should lower the stern windows/galleries. The windows are on the same level as the lower gundeck. Another thing is these brown bricks in the front. I think that part could use more details, different bricks/colours and perhaps doors. Good luck on her. Very promising! Quote

It wouldn't be the "Wicked Wench" if the galleries would be lowered (though probably more historically accurate ). Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 It wouldn't be the "Wicked Wench" if the galleries would be lowered (though probably more historically accurate ). In that case perhaps I posted an image of the wrong Wicked Wench, but when I search for the ship on google I only see this ship with the lowered galleries. I think it would look better. Now it has a very large empty space beneath the galleries. But do whatever you like the most. It was just a suggestion. Quote
Wellington Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Thank you all for the many kind answer. In that case perhaps I posted an image of the wrong Wicked Wench, but when I search for the ship on google I only see this ship with the lowered galleries. I think it would look better. Now it has a very large empty space beneath the galleries. But do whatever you like the most. It was just a suggestion. In fact there are two ships called "Wicked Wench" on the internet. The one ship is which Admiral Croissant posted and the second one is the Black Pearl before she was burnt. Here are two links for the latter:Link 1 and Link 2. That's why the galleries are "higher" (just like the Black Pearl has). I'm planing to position a tag with the ship's name onto the space beneath the galleries. But thank's for the feedback. Best regards, Wellington. Edited October 17, 2011 by Wellington Quote
Cpt. Tristan Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Looking pretty nice! I love the masts, figurehead, and the use of the gold Ninja fish on the stern. Keep us updated! ~Cpt. Tristan Quote
Wellington Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Thank's to all for the many positive replies. Currently I'm waiting for my bricklink order to continue the work but I'll keep you all updated. Best regards, Wellington Quote
BrickPerfection Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 I really like the wooden colourscheme! As the Black Pearl it seems accurate to me, only the bow could use some more work as I spot a disturbing lack of detail there. Thanks for sharing and keep us updated! Quote
Wellington Posted October 20, 2011 Author Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Hallo maties! I've done some work on the Wicked Wench. I've done some improvements on the ships bow. Hope you like it. Let's take a look at the picture: Best regards, Wellington Edited October 20, 2011 by Wellington Quote

Admiral Croissant Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Hass Kabal, when you reply to the post just above yours, you don't need to quote everything. In the future, only quote text when there's another post in between (and you want to reply to the one above). When you quote an image, usually you only have to do so when the image is on another page. Thanks in forward Quote
ZCerberus Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Great improvements on the bow. I really like this color scheme! Quote
Wellington Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 Hello my friends! I've done some work on the deck and the masts. Now they are at their future position on the deck. Best Regards, Wellington Quote
legomonk Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 An imposing ship sir beautiful and mighty. I can not wait to see more. Quote
