orfeuz Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 164D Hi all! Since the end of my Dark Age, one year and a half ago, I have worked on my first big creation: yes, another Black Pearl! My work finished ten days ago, just in time for ItLUG Lecco 2014, and now I am here to present you my creation! More pictures can be found on this Flickr gallery. Other photo on this WIP gallery. Sorry for the quality of the photos but I'm not a photographer! I hope you enjoyed my work! Quote
jodawill Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Nice. I like how you used the Technic bushings. Quote
grum64 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 WOW. That's one amazing build. Great work. Well done. Quote
Matteo1130 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I'm finding myself in a "galleon" period.. This is really well made! Quote
TheLegoDr Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Very well done. I'm glad to see another creation of the BP. I've been wanting to do this myself, but I can't afford extra black bottom hull pieces. They are ridiculous on bricklink right now. But this is definitely something for me to look at for inspiration if I ever get around to it. Thanks for sharing. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 That's how it must be done! My compliments - excellent work! Rigging and sails are just awesome (would you post a tutorial?)! Quote
Captain Genaro Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Excellent job on making an instantly recognizable ship. Although I don't believe the movie version of the ship had any grey on the hull, I like the fact that you added it. Beyond making it a little unique, I think that it also makes the hull look a little more detailed. In my opinion, your rigging and sails are simply superb. You did an excellent job making them look realistic, and I can only imagine how long it took. I too am interested in the material you used on the sails. If this is your first creation post dark-ages, then I can't wait to see your next project! Quote
Captain Cam Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Wow you really caught the black pearls true beauty in lego form. Quote
kevin8 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 You know how much I love your work. It's just a great MOC! I wonder how many hours you spent in making all the ropes... Quote
Godtshep Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Wow; much better than the official set! Great work! Quote
Asterix69 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Great job. I've seen your MOC live @ITLug... wonderful!!! I've just the "small" official one Edited July 23, 2014 by Asterix69 Quote
orfeuz Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 Thank you all, guys! Rigging and sails are just awesome (would you post a tutorial?)! You can find some step of my work on the rigging in the WIP gallery. I tried different materials and then I decided to use different sizes of yarns of wooden model ship. I followed the bible of model ship: "Rigging - Period ship models" by Lennarth Petersson. How many hours? Too many... I too am interested in the material you used on the sails. Nothing special for the sails: only 1 EUR of common material easy to find in local shops. I'm proud of the result but this kind of textile is not easy to sew. My mother did a wonderful job! I put at the sides of the sails some iron wire to give them the right curve. If this is your first creation post dark-ages, then I can't wait to see your next project! The Pearl will be the hearth of my next project. But first I need to move into a new home... Quote
Swan Dutchman Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Awesome ship! The shape, sails and rigging are really spot on. I like the touch of gray you put into the black pearl... it emphazises details and gives somehow a variety to the black parts. And your mother did an awesome job on the sails, my compliments to her! And I am glad to see the 'iron wire-technique' put to use in this ship as well! Quote
Capt. Stabbin Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Stunning work! I'm glad this got you out of your dark age! [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp] Quote
Captain Edward Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Very nice job! So many detail! Though, the bow part is used from the original set. I actually prefer like this: The brig made by our Eurobricks member Mr. Townset. I'm showing this one because it's a very good example of a bow using various lego pieces. Maybe an idea? Quote
orfeuz Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 Stunning work! I'm glad this got you out of your dark age! [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp] WOW! Thank you! Very nice job! So many detail! Though, the bow part is used from the original set. I actually prefer... Yeah, I know, but I had no time to work on it for ItLUG Lecco 2014... Quote
Matteo1130 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I failed to notice you,re italian, hope to see this beautiful moc on LUCCA comics and games 2014 too! Quote
Captain Hannibal Joost Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Honestly, that's one of the best Lego Black Pearl I've ever seen... And theses sails... Congrats! Quote
Sebeus I Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 She has a sleek hull, I like it. The part I like the least is the bow, ironically it has much resemblance with the original set, this ship would really be complete with some proper headrails, I hope you consider adding those . Keep it up! Quote
Stanley KuBRICK Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Amazing work! She looks beautiful. she seems very realistic, I like that. The rigging and sails are great. Considering the black colour of your ship, A little bit more light would have been useful to better see the details. But I know it's difficult. The "Petersson" seems to be a interesting textbook, thank you for sharing. Quote
Yzalirk Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Your Black Pearl came out nicely! The display is also nice as well. Quote

Ok I did some LDD work on the bow and this is the actual result: The Black Pearl (wip on the bow) by orfeuz77, on Flickr What do you think? I failed to notice you,re italian, hope to see this beautiful moc on LUCCA comics and games 2014 too! Maybe... I'm thinking about it. Edited August 23, 2014 by orfeuz Quote
