Posted July 28, 200915 yr Well, I have ordered the bricks, And got them for me Birthday on 26th. I then realised that I had a big floor in my plan. I meant to order from one store, over $60 of items, And...I forgot. So, I am missing the thick slopes, some other slopes and Windows e.t.c. The main problem is that they are away till August 3rd, Next monday Anywho, I over ordered Yellow 1 x 2 and 1 x 3 bricks, so I have about 100 spare of each Heres some teaser pictures: And my Birthday card my mother made using Hound Knights drawing!: Soon it shall be completed to crush the Bluecoats small ships.
July 28, 200915 yr Author Well, it does have a big floor. Well, very long, but not so wide It will be overhanging the original hull by 3 studs. It will be a Inverted and then above it. But right now I dont have the 2 x 2 Inverted Slope.
July 28, 200915 yr Holy Megabloks on a Enlighten sandwhich! This is awsome (Good to here you have some redcoat figs, but do you have blues to fight them with?) Edited July 28, 200915 yr by Emperor Claudius Rome
July 28, 200915 yr Author Holy Megabloks on a Enlighten sandwhich! This is awsome (Good to here you have some redcoat figs, but do you have blues to fight them with?) Bluecoats would infect my house, Ill just have to buy some with my next order!
July 28, 200915 yr wow, this is a gigantic hull. A little bit more and you need a new couch table ;) The big picture from the little fig looks great.
July 28, 200915 yr Just back from France and then I see this, a great thing to see when you're gone for 2 weeks! Happy Birthday is the first thing! Spare me some cake please. Now off to the real thing: The ship looks great already! The ammount of guns on that single deck already scares me. I think the ship may end up a bit too narrow for a three decker since it's built on prefab hulls. But I think you will find a nice solution for that. So far I'm curious to see the imposant stern, and I wish you all the best with the ship!
July 28, 200915 yr That is on long prefab hull, i hope you can pull it off Joey! The only tip i have now is too space out the gunports 4 studs instead of 3, so you can make them properly offset. Will you make tumblehome on the first gundeck as well, or will that part be straight? Good luck on it!

Will you make tumblehome on the first gundeck as well, or will that part be straight? Good luck on it! My first deck will have no Tumblehome as originally planned, It makes my ship wider and looks better from cross-section angle. Firstly I cant space the gunports because Ive already spent to much money on bricks, And, you just want me to lower my gun amount! I know that Bluecoat techniques I have my deck-narrowing problem sorted, Although the overhanging slopes may be unstable, Ill have to sort out a technique, mabye connect each side of the slopes with a big plate, So they stick down. Im hopefully going to make a fully detailed interior to the ship by or for Christmas, Tiled (Deck look) and with all the custom cannons inside. Thats gonna cost alot but I have high hopes, I dont like to work so hard on a ship then break it apart and make another. This one is staying or as long as possible.
July 29, 200915 yr Its gigantic, Titanic, colossal, huge, overwhelming... Ok, I'll shut my trap. That is huge, (I think I said that already) Looks great, The mast must have to be really big to counter that hunk of a frigate. Those Bluecoats are are in for a huge surprise. ~LW 8~
July 29, 200915 yr Thats gonna be one big ship! How many masts are you planning on having? Ive often thought that building a ship too long on reguler hull pieces would look odd, due to the width looking to thin. Altho it could work well for a clipper like the cutty sark, havnt seen many people build them. It will be interesting to see how this works out. keep it up

Those Bluecoats are are in for a huge surprise. ~LW 8~ I was going to actually have 4 Masts, and mabye 5 tiers of sails on each one. It will proberbly turn out less. I have actually made my Deck already, It looks fantastic, Better than I planned! I have a door to the Great Cabin and the big "hole" to the deck below. (I dont know its name). I need to order windows and such and my stern will be complete. New bricks came this morning! I got gun flap hinges, some black bricks and some tiles and masts. The shop I am buying most from will not be ready for orders till next monday. @ Ratshot: A job? Im not old enough to have a full-time job! Although it is the Holidays so I could get a part-time job. @ Lego Warlord: Indeed they do! Edited July 29, 200915 yr by Joey Lock
July 31, 200915 yr Glad to see Britan has another ship out to sink the French ships. then again it might be a little boring with them always surrendering the moment they see a flag on the horizon Really nice job.
July 31, 200915 yr Author Glad to see Britan has another ship out to sink the French ships. then again it might be a little boring with them always surrendering the moment they see a flag on the horizon Really nice job. Thanks mate! I have added the Gunflaps now and it looks quite good. Hopefully I will be able to order the bricks soon!
July 31, 200915 yr I'm looking forward to see the new bunch of pictures! It seems she is progressing nicely. Keep it up and good luck!
July 31, 200915 yr @ Ratshot: A job? Im not old enough to have a full-time job! Although it is the Holidays so I could get a part-time job. Ummm, I'm not ratshot But I hope you shall destroy some French toast boats
July 31, 200915 yr Author Ummm, I'm not ratshot But I hope you shall destroy some French toast boats Sorry, Your both Tuskens, Dont mean to be racist.
July 31, 200915 yr Sorry, Your both Tuskens, Dont mean to be racist. No your not racist. Both me a Ratshot are Canadian Tuskens Edited July 31, 200915 yr by Emperor Claudius Rome
July 31, 200915 yr This ship doesn't even need cannons. It can just ram right through all the bluecoat ships.
August 1, 200915 yr Or just sail right past it- the wake from this thing once sank an entire bluecoat city - today we call it Atlantis.
August 1, 200915 yr Author Or just sail right past it- the wake from this thing once sank an entire bluecoat city - today we call it Atlantis. Extremely! It is quite annoying that each time I ask my father "Oh yeah, Can we order those Lego Bricks?" He answers "Oh yeah, I turn on my laptop later" and he has said that for the past 4 days... He finally said "We should proberbly sit down and work out what needs ordering tomorrow or monday." I was supposed to order it like 2 days ago... Anywho, Ill hopefully cross my fingers ( ) Order by this upcoming week, And have the bricks proberbly by Friday or Saturday. Then Ill have it built for Monday, So if that all goes to plan, Ill have it done way before the end of the Summer holidays!
August 23, 200915 yr Cool! it would be funny if you put a bluecoats head on the bow! The Bluecoats won't know what hit em' MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!, the judges would say all hail redcoats!
