Full-hull French Frigate (WIP)

[Bart]

Looking at that last picture you linked to, I think the optical illusion is also due to the fact that in real ships, the windows aren't square, but have the shape of a parallelogram which to be made out of Lego bricks is virtually impossible.

But maybe raising it a plate, will do the trick, for the looks. If its not to big of a trouble, give it a try, the people here will respond ;)

I think you may say you reached your goal, building a full hull ship using cb-4 his (or is it her? I don't know) cb-4 's technique, and making it work and look awesome.

people here just really like to see ships get finished with masts and rigging and stuff.

greetings

I don't really know, but I find the forecastle a little bid too high. Also the bow-thing might look better when you make the rails a little longer. For the rest, a very, very nice job.

Hi everyone!

It has really been a good while since I last made a serious post on this topic. I've been really busy (I'm kinda in a dark age) and this ship requires WAY too many bricks I just can't get around to gather all of them, although this time the end is closed! This means: there are one or two pieces in the wrong colours so don't get too surprised if you spot them. In fact, in all my absent-mindness I've forgot to order 1x2 axles to connect the technic connectors for the spars… which means I've got a ton of these connectors without being able to connect them until the next order

I really like the colourscheme!, in particular the spark of colour made by the red over tan on deck. It looks warm.

So what is missing on the deck? Not much! The steering wheel, the catheads, the anchors and that's it! (notice the lamps at the stern, I've finally built them)

I think I might leave the other side open when she is finished and on display

I would appreciate some input here:

I'm happy with the way the bow looks and I might just leave it as it is (don't worry about those black plates on top, they are just applying pressure to put the hoses with the right shape). However, it would also be nice to add a minifig/idol here. If this is the case I would go for a white female idol, but I'm not sure there's a neat way to connect it to the ship. Any suggestions?

hello, i saw this ship searching for insperation for my personal projects (i searched lego mocs because alot of people are good with legos) and then i saw this, it was so tempting to sign in to post a comment so i did that. this ship as absolutely amazing! i have seen many lego ships but this is one of the ones that really impress me, really cool what people can do with legos :)
