Bjornu Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Hi all,! After my latest MOC "Encounter at pirate cave" and watching beautiful vessels on Classic-pirates, I decided to make a ship for Bjornu. So now he is promoted to Captain!!!! So the story goes on: Bjornu ordered the shipyard to build a vessel in his favorite colors: Red&Black As the ship name says: "Den Roode Dood" wich means "The Red Dead", she is going to hunt some Pirates!! Well my first ship ever made, I decided to leave the Sails behind because those were paper and ruined the look, Well First ship I ever made Watch And Enjoy!! The crew: Flagship "Den Roode Dood" And a slideshow for all the pictures: Please, feel free to comment !! Greetz Bjornu Quote
Captain Becker Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Beatiful! I love how you managed to make the shape of her, and the colours are just right. I would how ever try to add third cannon somewhere on her sides, maby where that front tower *or what ever its called* is.(Inside it! If you know what i eman.) Otherly than that, its a beatiful looking ship, but wouldnt you want to change her name maby? It sounds a bit funny. Captain Becker Quote

Well, I wanted to keep it the way it is right now. I could have added 4 more guns, but I liked it this way. And about the name: Den Roode Dood. It's Old dutch, well its spelled in the old way.... But im glad you liked it! It was my first, so I was pretty nervous about what people were going to say about it. Ty for commenting again! Greetz Bjornu Quote
Aalak Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Not Bad for your first Ship! Actually it's really great. I like the overall design and the colorsheme. Some minor things could be improved. you could use technic conectors or 1x1 round bricks instead of plates for the yards... but overall you really did a great job. The pull out cannon at the stern is great. You could at some bowchasers to make her a real hunter... but that's just a suggestion! Nice work and another great MOC! Quote
Bjornu Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 I think my thread is Bugged, since already 2 people commented but there is still standing: 0 views... If an Admin passes by, Can you fix this for me please ? Quote
Horry Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I think my thread is Bugged, since already 2 people commented but there is still standing: 0 views... If an Admin passes by, Can you fix this for me please ? actually, this is not a bug. The forum will refresh its counters only after a certain time period because real-time counting would consume much more bandwidth. You should see a certain amount of views now. I like the ship very much! It has a feeling somewhere between carrack and galleon and the details of the hull as well as the overall shaping are look quite nice. To that matter I like that you haven't put in more cannons as this adds to realism of that era! Well done! Quote
Derfel Cadarn Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 That's what I like to see! A refreshing change from all the napolionic ships people build. I love this style ships and you have done a nice job here. I'm currently building a fleet of English galleons and it can be challenging to get the shape right. You have achieved a easily recognizable shape, so well done. The colourscheme and details are nice and I agree about the cannons as they were not as heavily gunned. Nice work, my pirate crew will look forward to sinking her!!! :) Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 It's indeed a very nice ship. The shape and colourscheme are good and the yards are placed in the right positions. I especially like the working gunport hatch on the stern On future ships you could indeed use 1x1 round bricks for yards, lower the forecastle a little bit, and use a bit more brown on the decks and details (IMO). But you did an excellent job here. Quote
Sebeus I Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Nicely done, I like the shape of it but I do think the forecastle should be located a bit closer to the bow, good job. Btw, I don't think that's a funny name Quote

Dockmaster Brickington Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 This can't be your 1st ship?!? It's to amazing! Quote
Bjornu Posted June 20, 2011 Author Posted June 20, 2011 This can't be your 1st ship?!? It's to amazing! Well, it actually is My first , but I did some modelling in the past. guess i got my experience with shipbuilding from back these days Quote
badboytje88 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Hey that looks Dutch, I like it! Very Dutch indeed. It sounds Dutch too! Quote
Bjornu Posted June 20, 2011 Author Posted June 20, 2011 Very Dutch indeed. It sounds Dutch too! Well, maybe that's because I Am dutch I actually hoped some dutch people would recognize the name =] Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Very Dutch indeed. It sounds Dutch too! Did you actually hear it speak? Quote
badboytje88 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Did you actually hear it speak? The ship built from plastic bricks, it speaks to me, for I am the ship whisperer! Quote
Bart Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 wow, looking good and very Dutch Golden Age :D Bart Quote
horizon Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Good name. Being Dutch and all. ;) Time to build the: De Zeven Provinciën van luitenant-admiraal Michiel de Ruyter? Quote
Bjornu Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 Good name. Being Dutch and all. ;) Time to build the: De Zeven Provinciën van luitenant-admiraal Michiel de Ruyter? If i had the bricks i would, Michiel is one of my heroes. But i did made a fortress, called Fortress De Ruyter to honor him Quote
Brig. Brick Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 hey, great ship Bjornu! first one! wow !, great technic and shape now, you just need the sails I read paper in some place, I propose that you should use some kind of cloth, like blanket (cheap and good looking on any ship) good luke with that! Quote

I think I'll break it before it has sails, I'm already thinking of my next creation! Quote
ArtGenil Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Wow, looks cool! I liked the dragon's head detail in the front part of the ship! Isn't the crew is a bit big for thet ship? Quote
Horry Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Wow, looks cool! I liked the dragon's head detail in the front part of the ship! Isn't the crew is a bit big for thet ship? Not at all. If this is supposed to be a galleon-type, I'd say the crew's even a bit small. But actually, since this is a very free approach on a ship in means of technical accuracy, I'd say he's fine with every amount of crew Quote

But since my vessel has no Gundeck like a frigate, there is enough space for more crew. but I just had 24 bluecoats at that time and another 12 stored in another Diorama( wich is broken now) I think my vessel was a good try for the first time,as for the crew I have to learn more about that Hope you enjoyed it !
