Hi guys,
I have done it.
After nine month of work i will present you my replica of the english galeon Revenge.
It is not all done with Lego but the sails and rigging is not suitable with Lego.
I need two weeks to find the modell I like.
The minifigscale was one of my prerequisite and so the original ship have to be a smaller one.
This size fit in my car so I can´t build a ship like the Vasa, the Sovereign of the seas or La Coronne.
But a galeon at any rate.
And after a talk with my workmate (a wooden ship modeller) the ship was found.
He owns a lot of books with many information about ship modelling and drawings
especially some very nice ones from the revenge.
After the selection I start with the hull and change my complete design after the first wall was finished.
The new technique and design fits very well and I continued work.
After three and a half month the most done with Lego was finished.
And I start the work with all the cloth and strings til now.
Minifigs aren´t on board at the moment but I will join them later.
If anybody is near Paris this weekend he can visit the "festibriques".
I will show my ship at this event.
Ok thats it for now.
enjoy the pictures ;)
Phil
