Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted January 3, 2011 Eurobricks Emperor Posted January 3, 2011 It's time to vote and decided which are the best "minifig illusion scale" sailing ships ever build with LEGO. As explained in the nomination thread, "minifig illusion scale" means a ship that's usually build on existing LEGO hull pieces (or with a brick build hull of similar size). These ships create the 'illusion' of being minifig scale, but are usually a bit smaller. More than 30 ships are nominated and you can divide a total of 7 point over them. We do put a limitation of maximum 4 points per ship. For each ship that you give points you must clearly indicate the number + name of the ship and the number of points you want to give to it. This will make our lives easy when counting all the votes. Happy voting! I'd like to ask everyone to take a close look at the ships and focus on the ships and not on the picture quality. Some great ship builders are not experts in taking pictures. 1. HMS Achilles Builder: Swab Type: British 38 gun frigate Link: Click here 2.

Walter Kovacs Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Up to four votes for one ship? You're kidding, right? I had serious trouble narrowing it down to seven to vote for. All of these are incredible. 1. HMS Achilles - 1 point 2. RTS Zavala - 1 point 6. La Morte Royale - 1 point 8. HMS Prince of Wales - 1 point 9. Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion - 1 point 11. La Snge Royale - 1 point 20. Soleil Royale - 1 point Good luck to all of the entries. They really are all incredible in their own ways.

gotoAndLego Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) 4 Points 10. French Navy Xebec or 16. Telesell Mods, both Xebecs are spectacular and I'm not sure which I prefer. Bearing that in mind, please give my four points to which ever Xebec was built first. In this case originality trumps which ever refined details the later may have. 2 Points 2. RTS Zavala I chose those two because it seems like everything else was just the same thing. Its nice to see builders do something contrary to the crowd. And yes, I know this is the pirates forum. 1 Point 9. Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion This gets an honorary point not only because its spectacular, but mainly because it has its own source of bacon. Edited January 3, 2011 by gotoAndLego
Erdbeereis Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 9. Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion 4 points. I just love this ship. The colors, sails, everything has this wonderful level of detail that I admire. 17. Tornado of Souls 3 points. This gets my vote because of the overall look of the shape, and the brick-built sails, which I feel really make this ship stand out. There were many other brilliant ships though as well. I'm always happy when I see the level of quality we have in our MOCers.
Capt. Stabbin Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 My votes are: 2 points - 9. Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion Builder: Bonaparte & Captain Green Hair 1 point - 6. La Mort Royale Builder: Captain Green Hair 1 point - 11. Le Sang Royale Builder: Admiral Bejaune 1 point - 13. Grandeur Builder: Captain Zuloo 1 point - 15. Vesta Builder: Admiral Croissant 1 point - 17. Tornado of Souls Builder: Derfel Cardarn This was a really hard decsion! All the ships are just amazing and I would like to give everyone a point, In my opinion they are all the best, in thier own different way, they are works of art by some truly talented builders!
Scouty Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Wow, so many ships to choose from! They're all good! Here's my pick 2 pts. 2. RTS Zavala 4 pts. 9. Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion 1 pt. 10. French Navy Xebec These ships are really unique. First, the steam ship is wonderfully detailed. The Nuestra Senora is very unique, and I love all of its details and shape, as well as colour. Finally, the French Xebec is very interesting. I love the honest look it has.
Admiral Croissant Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 My votes: 2 points to Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion by Bonaparte & Captain Green Hair. -The best m.i.s. galleon so far. And excellently coloured. 1 point to RTS Zavala by RTN LNA -very detailed and great working steam paddles. 1 point to Le Requin by CGH -One of the first good frigates on this forum. 1 point to La Mort Royale by CGH -A very fine ship. It has to be because it's more or less been copied. 1 point to HMS Prince of Wales by Bonaparte and CGH. -I think it's by far the best of its kind. 1 point to Achille by Perfectionist. -Certainly one of the best frigates out here. Very detailed and with an interior.

French Navy Xebec______________ 2 pts. # 8. HMS Prince of Wales_____________ 1 pt. #11. Le Sang Royale________________ 1pt.
Superkalle Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Let me first say - absolutetly amazing entries - all through. It was a long time since I saw a contest with such ultra high quality builds. Congrats to the organizers and the builders! And now, without further a due, here are the votes from the Swedish admiralty: 9. Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion - 3 points. Something new, something different, wonderfully excuted with great proportions and superb rigging. A masterpiece. 11. Le Sang Royale - 2 points Impossible not to award points to. The rigging, the size, the details - the list goes on. A truly fantastic build. 17. Tornado of Souls - 2 points Great to see a ship that only uses Lego throughout, and done in such good way. This must naturally be commened.
Ceroknight Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) 4 points to-31 3 points to-21 All of these looks fantastic Edited January 3, 2011 by ceroknight
Jack Bricker Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I would give the 15. Vesta 4 points 9. Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion 3 points All of them were great models.
fred67 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I agree this is possibly the most difficult contest I've voted on. I normally go through the list and pick the ones I like the most, the do process of elimination... only my initial list was twice as long as I have points to give, and they were all so great it was painful to cross ones off the list to narrow it down to seven. 8. HMS Prince of Wales +1 Point 9. Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion +1 Point 15. Vesta +1 Point 21. HMS Sabre +1 Point 25. The Maeve Aulsebrook +1 Point 26. Lion of Luebeck +1 Point 31. RTS Legomalee +1 Point My hats off to the builders, congratulations on the excellent work!
Ratshot Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) 6. La Mort Royale - 2 points The look of it makes me wish that I owned it. 8. HMS Prince of Wales - 3 points The color scheme and overall design really caught my eye, The sails are nice too. My all time favorite ship! 25. The Maeve Aulsebrook - 2 points I'm not sure why I like this ship so much but I just do, it got my vote Edited January 3, 2011 by Ratshot

uboat77 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Hi there everyone. My first vote around here and it goes like this: 15. Vesta Builder: Admiral Croissant 4 points Awesome model! The detail on the sails and masts is amazing! I've seen wood models with less detail than this... 9. Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion Builder: Bonaparte & Captain Green Hair 2 points Very nice Spanish galleon! loved the color scheme on the rims around the ship. Nice sail detail too! 14. HMS Leopard Builder: Captain K. 1 point Loved the color scheme and sheer size of it!
Saracen Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 RTS Zavala - 3 HMS Prince of Wales - 3 French Navy Zebek - 1
Blackknight112 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 My thoughts: 26. Lion of Luebeck 1 point 20. Soleil Royal 1 point 16. Telesell 2 points 10. French Navy Xebec 1 point 8. HMS Prince of Wales 1 point 2. RTS Zavala 1 point Those ships are my fav, and I think number 16 was the best, but they are all really good.
brickmack Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Lots of wonderful ships, and this was a very hard decision: Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion: 1 French Navy Xebec: 2 HMS Gallardia: 2 HMS Sabre: 2
Tazmaniac Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I'd like to know how the "HMS Hell Hound" would of faired in this poll but as it was not nominated I guess it's not a contender. so that aside 9. Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion Builder: Bonaparte & Captain Green Hair = 2 points Type: Spanish Imperial Galleon 10. French Navy Xebec Builder: Bonaparte & Captain Green Hair = 2 points Type: Xebec 15. Vesta Builder: Admiral Croissant = 2 points Type: French 20 gun frigate 16. Telesell Builder: Captain Green Hair = 1 piont Type: Xebec
Gabe Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Far out this was hard. Fantastic models all, but my votes go to: 6. La Mort Royale - 1 8. HMS Prince of Wales - 1 9. Nuestra Senora de la Conception - 1 10. French Navy Xebec - 1 11. Le Sang Royale - 1 17. Tornado of Souls - 1 25. The Maeve Aulsebrook - 1 Best of luck to all!
blueandwhite Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 This sort of thing is always hard when all of the MOCs involved are of a very high calibur. Still, when push comes to shove these ships stand above the rest for me: 2. RTS Zavala 1 point 9. Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion 2 points 10. French Navy Xebec 1 point 12. HMS Gallardia 1 point 28. Hansa Trade Cog 2 points
