Captain Zuloo Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 They are great indeed. I have put one on my ship as well. I wanted to mention it before but I had no idea of what those things were called like And mine does open Anyway, great design Ah, so yours weren't an afterthought? I look forward to seeing the complete Vesta man. Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted February 12, 2010 Eurobricks Emperor Posted February 12, 2010 You have made a perfect ship Captain Zuloo! I like everything about it. It's well build, beautiful, perfect in all it's details. I particular like the look of the stern with the 2 chasers which are very well integrated. Sails and rigging (not a small job) are executed very well. I can't provide any suggestion for improvement, it's a beauty and a masterpiece. Congratulations! Quote
Captainkiwi Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 This is truly a perfect frigate. I love the positioning of the masts and the perfectly symetrical headrails. Also, many frigates I have seen before don't have that certain "frigate" shape, but you did it perfectly. Keep making ships!!! Quote
Admiral William Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 This ship is perfect! It has lots of details and especially at the back of the cabin! Quote

It's wonderful to know someone of your high expectations in good shipbuilding likes my work! This is truly a perfect frigate. I love the positioning of the masts and the perfectly symetrical headrails. Also, many frigates I have seen before don't have that certain "frigate" shape, but you did it perfectly. Keep making ships!!! Thanks Captainkiwi! Do you live in NZ? If you do, you might like to make a visit to Canberra Brick Expo in August as Grandeur will be on display there. This ship is perfect! It has lots of details and especially at the back of the cabin! Haha, I'm pleased you like the stern. It certainly took me long enough to get right! Quote
Captainkiwi Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) New Zealand? Nope I live in a small town in Canada Would you mind sailing the Grandeur here? Edited March 28, 2010 by Captainkiwi Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 New Zealand? Nope I live in a small town in Canada Would you mind sailing the Grandeur here? Ah, I see. I suspected you may have lived there because of your username, Captainkiwi. And no, I'm not sure how watertight she actually is. Quote
Admiral William Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 I need some help. I'm probably going to start building a ship, but I want to get it right: Pic 1: How do you get the "corner" on the front of the ship to be so round? Pic 2: How do you make it lean slightly like that? I hope it's alright to ask here... Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 Hey Admiral William. First let me warn you, if you want to build a ship of this level of detail, be prepared to spend a lot of money! (But it's all for a good cause ). To answer your questions, I actually used many of the same techniques that Captain Green Hair used in his build-a-frigate thread. Getting that rounded effect is somewhat of a secret between myself, Greenhair, Bejaune and Bonaparte, but I'll share it anyway. We used this piece which fits perfectly around the front of the bow: Gah, don't ya just love hinge pieces! They're responsible for the slope of the tumblehome: Feel free to PM me or add my MSN (in my profile) if you have any further questions. And good luck with your ship! Quote
Captain Bricks Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Very nice ship. I like the figurehead a lot. Good job! Quote
Captain Jerrod Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 This an amazing ship wish I had that many jumpers and and 2x2 hinge pieces. Quote
