maydayartist Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) 85b Hallo friends Now it is time to upload my first "pirate" ship. I don't know what it is exactly, a pirate or a royal ship, captured or not. It's not important ;) It is a three mast galleon with 12 canons on a lower deck. The cabin at the stern is build with a seven sided extension. It is a little bit difficult to describe all the details so I do what I'm best at, make pictures. It's dark outside so the pictures are taken with artificial light and not really beatiful. I will make new pictures tomorrow with better light. I love the ship now it's finished but the sails are not my favorite. I've seen other much more better work at this. I think I will do it once more ... later.

General Armendariz Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 This is amazing with spectacular techniques! I love it. keep up the good work. Quote

Erdbeereis Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Would you mind resizing those pictures to 800 x 600? Here's a tutorial: LINK That's a lovely ship, the sides are beautiful and the rest has so many great details. Quote
maydayartist Posted August 9, 2009 Author Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) I reduce them for brickshelf to 1024x768 (only the first is bigger to see it better) and thought that this forum automatically reduce them to 82% of 1024x768, isn't it? The big one is changed Edited August 9, 2009 by maydayartist Quote
StoneW4 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Great work, maydayartist!!! Your ship looks so beautiful! My favourite section is the round stern, but also the side of the ship looks wonderful – something unique! What's the problem with the sails? I think they are all right as they are now! Quote
Derfel Cadarn Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Good work, that is a damn fine ship. Great work on the paneling on the sides, and the stern is lovely. A perfect ship to acompany your port! Quote
Paul cantu Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 This is a wonderful ship. I love the height of the cabin and all the windows. The overall shape of the ship is very realistic. The technique used on the sides and front of the ship are unique. Quote

It's fine for me, but I would imagine it's slow for some. Quote
maydayartist Posted August 10, 2009 Author Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Thanks for all of your great feedback. I think the only result of this is a second ship for the pirates. And this one get back to the real owner, the Hanse. Problem is, the only bows and sterns I own are the red-brown ones, hm we will see. The only problem is that for people with slow connections it still takes a while for them to load. pirate_classic.gif It's fine for me, but I would imagine it's slow for some. Ok I will fix it later, I need to sleep ... now! ;) Work starts in 3 hours Edited August 10, 2009 by maydayartist Quote
Erdbeereis Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I had one more question. What material did you use for the sails? They look really nice. Quote
maydayartist Posted August 10, 2009 Author Posted August 10, 2009 I had one more question. What material did you use for the sails? They look really nice. A pillow over (?!) (Kopfkissenüberzug in german) Quote
Dr. Steve Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 WOW! That is a stunning ship...I also liked the way you took your pics from the town Quote
Erdbeereis Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 A pillow over (?!) (Kopfkissenüberzug in german) Haha! A pillow sheet, very clever. Quote
Joey Lock Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 A pillow over (?!) (Kopfkissenüberzug in german) Thats how you say "Pillow Cover" in german? Wow...that must be complicated to speak like that everyday... Well I do listen to Rammstein (My favourite band) but they don't seem to say to many complicated words. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Very nice ship, thing I really like about it are the way you've put the gunports on it, and the stern and the doors to the decks below. Maybe you could change the bowa little (just look at some ship-pictures and I think you'll see what I mean. But it really looks great and the colours are also perfect for this kind of ships, good luck with the sails! Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Oh dear, the title seems to have gone strange... What is the correct name of the ship? Quote
Etzel Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 That's one absolutely amazing ship! The stern is very nicely detailed and have a beautiful colour scheme Oh dear, the title seems to have gone strange...What is the correct name of the ship? Most probably "The Lion of Lübeck" (Luebeck if the german ü isn't available) Quote
martinsuper Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 This is a very nice ship! I just started working on a ship and I hope my turns out as well! -Super Quote
maydayartist Posted August 10, 2009 Author Posted August 10, 2009 Thats how you say "Pillow Cover" in german? Wow...that must be complicated to speak like that everyday... Well I do listen to Rammstein (My favourite band) but they don't seem to say to many complicated words. Indeed @ Captain Zuloo Yes it is finally the "Lion of Luebeck" and yes I forgot that there is no ü on this side available On my investigation about shiptypes, names and so on I found the "Adler of Luebeck" and decided to add a sistership. Thats it @YnyklY (difficult name btw) I will post the template (from the bow and the middle section) of the ship out of a childrens knowledge book. The bow is a copy of this and only the upright yellow (tan, gold whatever) sprout on top of it are missing. Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Beautiful. You have a lot of talent! I look forward to seeing much more of you creations. This ship should be indexed as you used so many great technics. If you wanted to you could do a short tutoral on how you did the sides and a few other special technics for the ship building techniques index I am working on. Quote
maydayartist Posted August 10, 2009 Author Posted August 10, 2009 Oh a ship building techniques index?! Nice. Yes I could do this. Here is the picture out of the book. Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Great Thanks. Take some close up pictures showing how to build and connect things (sides) and provide a little explanation of how to do the technique. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I only mean that your bow could be more like this: instead of this: See the difference? Not a big issue, but it would look nicer if you make a roof on every hullpiece and then make the galleon in front of all that..of something like that Quote
maydayartist Posted August 10, 2009 Author Posted August 10, 2009 Yeah that's the classic front. As I start the ship I don't know if I should use such a front but after the decission to copy the boat fromthe picture, I loose this idea. But hey ;) it´s Lego, so I test this other front and post it. If this should be frontpaged I photoshoped the ship into a drawing of rough sea. Quote
