April 14, 20186 yr Looks interesting, Thaum! Will be looking forward to see more. In the meantime, how many Hull sections does she consist of? She looks like she might be small for a class 6, but I may be wrong. Please refer to the hull piece guidelines: Class 5: 3 to 4 mid sections Class 6: 4 mid sections for multiple decks, 5 for single decked vessels She doesn't look like 5 Hull sections, but maybe I am wrong. It is a bit hard to see. Anyways, she looks great and I can't wait to see more! :)
April 14, 20186 yr Awesome! The story idea, its execution, the ship build - all brilliant! Excellent work!
April 14, 20186 yr Very funny story, Professor, and an excellent ship too! Shape and colors are on spot, and I'm loving the addition of all those great details like the winding stairs and railings
April 15, 20186 yr Great to see another vessel from you, professor. There are some interesting building techniques that I'm gonna to steal to borrow. And entertaining story too, the captain très à l'aise Trezalez and lanceur de patates, hilarious.
April 15, 20186 yr entertaining story! it's amazing how just adding the small legs make the minifigs like childeren. the choice of faces and posing helps too ofcourse, great job in that. I like the yellow on the ship, and the arry of wooden guns.
April 16, 20186 yr That walkway on the side is amazing Ship is looking good too, cool ideas with the special guns, but I have a quick question on how you licensed it - did you happen to license it twice, once as a class 6 and once as a class 5? I would like to remove the wrong entry @Professor Thaum
April 17, 20186 yr Great story and presentation. Don't forget to update the flag on the stern with the new "design".
