Hi guys, here are the latest updates on L'Anubis progress. I have now completed everything on my side so that the ship can leave the dry dock and be moved to the equipment quay. I hope that @Supersick_ will turn the beautiful thing into a real masterpiece as soon as he has the time to do it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to invest much time in the project in the future because my professional situation is changing. Nevertheless, I will try to build her in her current form. However, this will take some time due to the approx. 7500 parts. The missing lower half of the hull bothers me a bit... maybe I'll be able to finish it at some point. Take care Timo

Hi @GeoBrick, the height of the lower and upper gun deck between the deck beams is 3 2/3 bricks. A figure cannot stand upright and should definitely took off its hat ;-) Probably the height between the weather deck and the poop deck will be 4 bricks at the wheels and 4 2/3 at the stern gallery.
-
Yay, I'm making progress. She's slowly starting to look like a ship again. I lengthened the poop deck a bit and made some changes to the stern gallery. The decks are not finished yet, and the masts also need some attention. But things are moving forward... Take care!

Hello friends of L'Anubis! Some of you are eagerly awaiting news about the progress of the L'Anubis project. Well, I have good and bad news for you. Let's start with the bad news - unfortunately L'Anubis is not ready to leave the shipyard yet. The good news is that the project has not been abandoned! Unfortunately, @Supersick_ is really busy at work at the moment and therefore has very little time to take care of L'Anubis. But every great Master Shipbuilder needs an assistant :-) And that's my job now. I started implementing the changes that @Supersick_ wanted to make to L'Anubis. She has grown in all dimensions so that she fits better with Fer Maiden and Supernaut. At the same time, I adopted the building technique of Supernaut for L'Anubis, but tried not to change the original design too much. So I'm going to create the rough diamond that @Supersick_ can then turn into a jewel. That is the plan. I look forward to every comment from you, whether agreement or criticism. Everything helps me to get better and there is still a lot of room for improvement :-) The bow section is almost done...

Hello @Supersick_, another masterpiece! Congratulations, please keep up your amazing work! Take care Timo

Hello @Supersick_, I wanted to politely inquire about the progress on L'Anubis. I am very curious how she looks at the moment and I very much hope that building the L'Anubis will be my autumn project :-) Thank you for your great work! Take care Timo

I do really like the look of my guns, especially the big ones. Unfortunately, the are not very robust and fall apart quite easily. Just something for a showcase, unusable for epic seabattles with my kids. Take care Timo
-
Hello @Supersick_ , You're right. I've just had a look myself. No covers visible on the upper gun deck. So far I thought that the gun ports had always flaps on ships of this size. Luckily you're never too old to learn something :-) Thanks a lot. Take care Timo
-
Yay, there's progress! :-) Thanks for the update and the pictures! Is there a chance that the upper gun deck is also getting flaps for the gunports? Thanks and keep up your awesome work, I really appreciate it. Take care Timo

So, time for a little update. Not much happened but at least I finished the sails. I'm getting a little annoyed by the crew. Unfortunately I can't get the decals printed as nicely as I want them to be. I do have to try more... I think someone asked how to build the guns. The post has disappeared again, anyway I'll attach a few pictures. Maybe it's still of intrest :-)

Hello @Kyle84, has the Vanguard made any progress that you would like to share with us? Take care Timo
-
Hello @Supersick_, I wish you a happy, healthy and successful new year. Although I still havent't quite finished building the Fer Maiden, sails and crew are still missing, I would like to ask if Anubis has made any progress? Maybe a few nice new pictures have been taken that you would like to share to increase our impatience even more. :-) Take care Timo
-
Well, unfortunately it took a lot longer to build than expected, but finally it's done. The sails and the crew are not ready yet, but I didn't want to withhold the current pictures from you any longer. I'm super happy with the result. The ship is just great. I really enjoyed the build and with the small changes it's perfect for me. I'm now afraid that I can't resist to build L'Anubis either. However, next time I have to do better with the Bricklink orders so that it doesn't take so long to get all the bricks. Thank you @Supersick_ for this great moc!

Unfortunately I run out of parts and time to complete her at the moment. But I've made some good progress. I am very satisfied with my detachable shrouds, especially with the simple tensioning mechanism. So I can change between a showcase model and a play model in less than a minute. I will reduce the number of cannons on the weather deck and use my own small cannons instead. Therefore I raised the height of the bulwark by one plate. It looks still OK for me. I've started creating my own minifigure(s) as well but I am still struggeling with the quality of the stickers - and the design ;-)

Thanks Supersick_ - this is really a beautiful ship! I stumbled upon the model by accident and knew that I absolutely had to build her. I think she is the perfect mix of a showcase model - with the lower hull attached - and a model that you can play with your children. Last week the first bricklink orders arrived and I was able to start building her. A few small tweaks here and there and she will be the perfect pirate hunter for me, especially since she has more cannons than my kids' pirate ships combined ;-) I changed the color scheme a bit - does not like the blue color so much - and I will use my own custom guns. I'm also thinking about some additional shrouds that can be removed for playing.... LEGO sail making and building custom mini figures are next on my list, a whole new hobby :-) Many thanks again Supersick_ keep up your fantastic work! Take care
