Commodore Ariel Brickson

Really impressive advance in your naval construction . Definitely, I will need more cannons... How have you done for improve an small frigate into a ship of the line in so relatively little time? I need months only to get my first hull parts (via exchange in other forum) and convert my old ugly brig into a little corvette ... Commodore Ariel.

Really an impressive fleet; considering that I only have two ships... My favourite, obviously, the british one . Greetings.

Really nice ship, I love this colour scheme. The solution for the stern ir really interesting...I will have it in mind in the future... Greetings, Commodore Ariel.

Really impressive :pir-oh: !!! The structure seems perfect, the gallery is beautiful, and the mast are promissing . Hope to see more soon . Greetings from Spain, Commodore A. Brickson

Really lovely ship . At least I see another british warship with this colour scheme, I thought that mine was the last. I will remember well were this topic is... in case that in the future I can build a frigate... **sigh** Greetings, Commodore Ariel.

This frigate is improving moment after moment. The new bow it's really cool. I don't know if I say this before, but I love the helm... Friendly, Commodore Ariel.

It's a good start; I hope to see more progress soon. May I ask under what flag will sail this ship? Greetings, Commodore Ariel.

Fascinating, thanks for answer. I have to revise many sets... Greetings from Spain, Commodore Ariel.

Nice bluecoat fortress. I have to ask... from where you have taken that spiral stair?? (or how you have done it?) It looks really fine. Friendly from Spain, Commodore Ariel.

Cool ship, I think that it's relatively easy to improve it (at least in theory): a more narrow bow, more length, and perhaps a second mast (I don't know how much parts you have to do such things, I only say it)... Can we know the name? Friendly, Commodore Ariel.

I don't know how; one time I see the page and my face was something like *huh* . And it's also the problem that it's in dollars, while my currency is the €... Anyway, thanks for the advice. Greetings.

A really impressive ship . The stern it's a bit disproportionated in my opinion; but I'm sure that this it's the best that one can reach at this scale... Greetings, Commodore Ariel.

Thanks for comments. @ManInATopHat: fortunately, I have enought yellow bricks to make this colour scheme and repeat it in two different ships (and I think that I have enought for a third one if I make something really small like a sloop), but unfortunately, I don't have enought black bricks and bases... @Sebeus I: I also think that the anchor it's perfect for this ship, but by the moment I can only make one, at least in this colours... About the shots; it's true that I don't have parts to make it in Lego, but anyway, I prefer to make them in cotton, it's more realistic; even if this is the first time that I use this trick in Lego (I used it before in Playmobil and Tente (another build toy native from Spain) so many times that I adquired some experience in using it, and it's also a distinctive part of my works... with other special trick). @Captain Golden Hook: I considered to put a gaff sail in the main mast, (in fact, in the first moments, there was one, but was too fragile and I had to make the mast higher); but with the actual mast I don't know how to make it; there is no place were I can put the sprit... but I'm still working on it... In fact I considered to put a tiller in a first moment, but it will make more difficult to put the row boat... Friendly from Spain, Commodore Ariel Brickson.

Well, even if isn't 100% complete; I decided to present my flagship today and now. My stock limitation was a permanent problem, but I think that I solved it with my humble methods... First of all, a few pics without crew, to see the details... The bow, notice the owl as figurehead and the bell: Now onboard, the capstan; functional but really fragile... The gun deck, clear and ready for action, with it's 8 guns: The quarterdeck, with the helm, 4 carronades and a small place for the commander to examine maps etc... The masts, the weakness of all my ships, not so pretty as the rest of the ship (probably when I put the sails will be better): Returning to the bow, the anchor, one of my favourite parts, because it's totally improvised: And now, the ship with the crew: The Commodore (myself), examining the map... At the stern, the row boat: "DING-DING, DING-DING, DING!!" _Sail ho! _Full broadside...! _...FIRE! For finish; the HMS Defiant sailing with my other ship (builded just yesterday and finished today), a bombardment ketch provisionally named as HMS Thunderer: That it's all, I hope you liked it. (The HMS Thunderer will be presented soon, but I will wait some days because I usually moddify my ships a bit every day a few days after it's construction (or a few weeks, in the case of the HMS Defiant...). Comments and critics are welcome. Greetings from Spain, Commodore Ariel Brickson.

Unfortunately, I don't have any original Lego ship; at the begining, I will make the sails in paper; because the ships are changing nearly every day... I hope to post my flagship soon... Greetings.
