tedbeard Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Wow, it has been great following this project and well worth the wait for the great photos. They really add a nice setting to a lovely model. I will have to dive into the Flickr madness when I have more than a few minutes to appreciate the details. Quote
Captain Hannibal Joost Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 That's a great LEGO ship... and great photos (a small problem with the lighting on the sunset, but not a real problem ;)) ! So great details inside ! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 29, 2014 Governor Posted April 29, 2014 Oh yes, very nice! Glorioius in fact! Bonaparte will be pleased with this. This MOC is worthy of a blog post! The presentation and editing is also spectucular... Quote
Capt. Stabbin Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Beautiful ship! Great details, the sails, the rigging, everything! Really nice photo editing. Is there any higher resolutions of the ship in the water? I would really like to make that my background on my computer. Again, great job. You are an excellent ship builder. Edit: I was able to get a higher resolution off of your Flickr, thanks! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 29, 2014 Governor Posted April 29, 2014 Also, we have decided to award Swan Dutchman the Ship Expert tag for this brilliant MOC! Quote

Admiral Croissant Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Beautiful ship! And you did a fantastic job on incorporating the MOC into a painting It actually looks more like a ship from the "Nederlandsche Handel Maatschappij", like this one. But it's a fantasy ship ofcourse and I like how it incorporates some nice elements from different ships and times. Great job, and congratulations on your well-deserved Ship MOC Expert tag! Quote

Sebeus I Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Impressive, the presentation is really great. Love the interior. Gongratulations on your new tag (Join the club ). Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Mijnheer! You made it! Congratulations - this a superb MOC. And your photoshopping-skills are a perfect addition to you building capabilities - I actually tend to envy both! WOW! Quote
Mr. Townsend Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Outstanding Swan Dutchman! I love how you edited the photos into the painting. My favorite part of this is how the white line across the top of the railing continuing through the waist. Your sails are very clean and I'm interested if hand sewn means you didn't use a machine. If that's the case I'm rather impressed. Though I am impressed either way. I searched through your flickr but I wish you had more pictures of your interior. The editing really is amazing. I have photoshop elements and I find it extremely difficult to edit out the entire background without losing bits of my rigging. Maybe its easier with black string since the brown on my ship blends more to my background. Do you find GIMP easier to use? Before now I'd not heard of it. I hope to see more ships in the future Swan Dutchman. Brick on! Quote

Anio Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I rarely comment MOCs in that theme. But I have to congratulate you this time. You did a great job on that model. You are definitely a meticulous MOCer, and I like that. The only photo I miss is the cook prepping soup on the stove on the gun deck... but I just could not get a good photo. Personnally, I miss A LOT of photos. I would like to see how the ship is built. You did nice pics, nice editing, etc. But technically speaking, I almost can not take anything from your pics. :/ Quote
Superkalle Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Excellent work. And I like that you've used LEGO-style strings. Sometimes you see people using too thick strings, and then it looks out of scale. The way you did it is really tasteful! Quote
Kolonialbeamter Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Congrats on finishing this splendid ship and a well deserved 'Ship Expert' tag, and on being frontpaged! She truely lives up the potential promised in her WIP thread, I have to praise... everything about her and your presentation. But I really have to highlight again my admiration for your use of metal wires to give those sails that billowing effect, this is a genious way to combine lightweight material and a realistic depiction under sails! Best regards Quote
Gunman Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Very beautiful ship my friend.... I really like the "back" part of it... Congrats! Quote
MassEditor Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 A stunning build and presentation, absolutely every detail of this MOC is eye candy. The stern galley, bowsprit and rigging are incredibly elegant. Superb work, you have put together a masterpiece! Quote
ManInATopHat Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Magnificent! Stunning! Awesome! I have a thing for Dutch ships. Congratulations on finishing this monster of a masterpiece. This is just insane. The detail, the sail plan, the interior... I'm practically drooling. I hope to see more from you. Also, is there any other interior that you can get shots of? Quote

TheLegoDr Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Very beautiful creation. It is very streamlined and smooth. I've recently been trying my hand at ships, but it is more along the lines of official LEGO style. Yours outdoes that considerably, so I know I won't compare to yours. But this will something great to look at for inspiration and tips. The editing is spot on, as everyone else states. I want to make sails for my ship, but hand sewn will not be an option since I haven't a clue how to do it and I'm sure my wife has better things to do...hah Quote
Cara Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Gorgeous photos that set off a great creation. I love your rigging and sails. Now I'm going to read further on flickr. Quote
