2 more crewmembers are asleep in the cabin ;) No need for defense at the front if you have the fastest ship around and can escape swiftly :D Let me go grab my Still amazed we managed to put this together in roughly a day :D

@danth @GeoBrick @LEGO Train 12 Volts @Sebeus I @omerai Thank you! Both of these must be coincidences :D Well, I usually build sailing ships, so it might not just be a coincidence :D I wanted it to look a bit worn (and also was running a bit tight on white 1x2 bricks - there is ~700 of them in this vessel), so 2nd option. The dark blue detailing on the engines is also asymmetrical, unlike the well kept golden detailing.

Hi, Not the first time I try Shiptember, though the first time I'm finishing, even though I'm a couple days late. This vessel has been on my mind for a while; I’d wanted to build a vessel a bit like a podracer - giant engines drawing a small cockpit behind - but decided that would be a bit fragile and rough looking. Besides that, connecting a couple sections by cables seemed a bit like cheating to reach the size limit. So I decided to connect the engines and cockpit with some curves - inspired by any of the Naboo ships, though particularly the N1. Size: 120 studs long, 58 studs wide, 28 studs tall The Neptune’s Glide is one of a few royal yachts of the Akh-Du - a group of Manta people native to another planet quite a distance away. It is the fastest vessel that ever came from their shipyards, outpacing even any of their military craft. The Akh-Du pride themselves in decorating their royal vessels. Their vessels are typically set up to be able to dive down to their cities a couple hundred meters into the ocean; the engines are capable to push the entire craft along even under water. Neptunes Glide is an unarmed vessel that typically travels with an escort of several military craft; however, it has some of the strongest shields available. The generators for those are hidden away inside the hull; only the bump at the bow indicates that they exist. Picture time!

Though I have planned a different colourscheme, but I'm not willing to share it yet ;) Thanks!

I've started another vessel, not sure when and if I'll finish it. Already got a nice colourscheme figured out, hope it works out as planned, but transitioning the curve isn't easy...

Thank you! Thanks! Also thanks for the Frontpage! Well, maybe I need to see about more then... There is a lot of techniques from that tutorial still in this one, and to top it off I'm pretty sure it is the original hull from the tutorial - @Captain Green Hair would have to confirm that though.

Hello, I've not shown a vessel here in forever. How about a Frigate? Started in early 2019, this ship stood on my shelf unfinished for almost 2 years at this point. I finally decided to complete the rigging and add the missing sails the last couple weeks. I think this might be my most elaborate rigging job yet, hope it shows! La Flora is inspired by mid 18th century french frigates. First started but abandoned by Captain Green Hair, I purchased the parts from him and tried to stay close to the initial idea. Sails are old curtains, coloured with coffee. Not a single reddish brown piece was used in this ship. Ratlines are glued. No time for long description, here are the pics! Extra thanks to Sebeus, Kabel and Captain Green Hair for their quick feedback whenever needed!

Thanks a lot everyone! I think I'm gonna take your advice and tear it down. But not before I have an equivalently sized alternative ready, which is currently just missing rigging and sails (easier said then done - takes forever )

Just found pictures of one of my vessels I never bothered posting, not sure if I should create a thread for it since the pictures aren't that great at all. Sadly it got destroyed during transport back from the convention and since the rigging was messed up beyond repair I decided not to fix it and instead reuse the hull another time. Maybe there are some inspirations for others here. I'll check another time but I don't think I took any more pictures of it.

Sorry for digging out such an old thread of mine. I need help deciding. I've had this vessel (La Comete) for about a year now and now I'm contemplating what to I want to do with it. I've had it with me at 4 conventions by now, and due to travel - often by public transport - the rigging is badly worn. Its not super visible in the picture, but the foremast is bent badly and on the verge of falling over, the main is loose, the mizzen has fallen before and the bowsprit keeps breaking off. Besides that, the sterncastle has been knocked off during one of the conventions and since the internal structure wasn't reachable isn't quite stable anymore. Now, what to do? 1 - tear down, new vessel 2 - tear down rigging, rebuild 3 - leave it be and enjoy it as long as it lasts 4 - complete rebuild but back to basically the same vessel (besides small tweaks) 5 - ? I need to decide this within the next week since I have a couple weeks of time now where I can work on this...

Started working on another Galleon, this time a razee. Fairly minimalistic vessel (flat stern compared to usual galleons, not nearly as elaborate detailing around it, but general hullshape still galleon-like) One of the goals for this vessel was making the gundeck significantly lower then my other small galleon - I've solved this by turning the entire sides upside down so I could put cheeseslopes at the bottom of the gunstripe. Not entirely happy with the stern yet, hope I can think of something to make it fit a bit better... Inspired by the Tiger, a british Galleon Razee. ´

Thanks! Roadmonkey replied about the parts around the windows - its indeed the sprues from the ninjago throwing stars Thanks! Thanks and thanks for the answer ;) Thanks! Thanks! Glad you like the stern, a lot of time was spent on the details :D Thanks! Green and gold just work so well together :D Thanks! Hope to see something inspired by it! Thanks! Can't go much larger then this on the small hulls - I think 3 midsections is the absolute maximum for these. Your vessels were some inspiration for me as well, I think I'm gonna continue building a couple galleons for now - this one was a lot of fun to put together.

Hm I feel like you remember your history wrong...

Have another WIP, but I'm not showing the colours yet. Quite happy with the shape of the sterncastle though :D

Great start! The bow looks great, but I think you should give turning the droid arms around a go - it might look a little better that way :D With the stern I agree with Faladrin, it would probably look better if you kept it a little flatter and maybe not quite as wide as it is now - not angling the side windows outwards could already help quite a bit, maybe trying to get rid of 2-3 plates below it as well. Line of the gundeck looks great :D
