Vengeance II Updated 5/31/15 "page 2"

The Pirate Galleon "Vengeance". She's evolved over 6 months from my original MOC four cannon brig to a true galleon, with three decks, three masts, the forward and main masts are square-rigged and the after mast lanteen-rigged, the spirit mast is square-rigged as well. She's longer, taller, and planked on all decks.

Thanks for looking, and this is a fun hobby that I share with sons.

Good looking! You may try some color to interrupt the whole brown surfaces. Inside there are lots of features and details, really like it!

Jake and I like this very much

This is really the best pirate ship I have seen here in a while. What makes the charm of this boat is its authenticity; I personally like the approach you have taken where you stick with brown and black.

Should I make a boat one day, it would be really inspired by yours.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Very nice - it's got all the classic pirate look, but at the same time many additions and improvements of the TLC versions.

A great galleon!

Excellent sails!

How did you emulate the "water"?

Thank you, on this one sticking with the brown and black.

Kinggregus, Thank you for the great compliment, it's appreciated.

Captain Braunsfeld, Thank you too for your compliment.

The water is solid blue wrapping paper with transparent blue wrapping wrinkled to give the effect of waves. The clear blue is also very glossy which gives a good water type reflection. The clear blue wrap is used at Easter to wrap Easter baskets.

Thank again everyone,

David

Congratulations, she's a fine looking ship.

Legopicler, Thank you :)

Couldn't resist putting the new Mega Blocks Assassins Creed Black Flag pirate minifigures on my MOC Galleon Vengeance to see how they looked.

Edward has commandeered this 10 cannon galleon and raised the black flag. They have just attacked a Britsh Sloop of War and are preparing to board. What will happen next?

"Burn them, an' send their daemon souls back into the keeping of t' Nega-Blocktrix!"

Seriously, though, beautiful job. What did you use to take the shots on top of, for that reflection? The only thing that has that texture that I could think of was possibly a trampoline.

Always remember, every cent paid to

a rival brand goes to the continuation of

her evil schemes!

I like this one. It's simple, but very well done :-)

Lind Wisperer, Thank you. Yes I sprayed the trampoline with the water hose thinking it would give the black seas look with reflection. Good eye!

Nice job on building this! I must say, though it has nothing to do with the mod, the graphics of the photos with the legominifigures gave me that old nostalgic feeling. Of the old lego age.

Keep going!

[Israel Hands]

Very nice. I like this a lot.

I'm not very good at MOC so I think I'd like to try and copy this for one myself.

Eddie, Thanks your compliment is greatly appreciated. Yes I agree the modern figures don't fit the nostalgic style of the MOC galleon, I just wanted to see how these figures would look.

Thanks again,

David

Israel,

Thank you, the greatest compliment is when someone wants to make a copy of a designers work.

Thank you again and good luck with your build.

I loved the balcony on back side. The all MOC is beautiful. Great job!

[Mazin]

Maybe I've missed something, but what did You use for that beautiful surface?

And of course lovely build, lovely picture, lovely crew. I even realy like Your hand made flag.

This is somewhat a mixture of xvi and xvii century galleons. Was is for purpose? You gave it a large forecastle which was rather uncommon during later times

Mazin,

Again thank you for your great replies. The surface was our trampoline which was spayed down with water.

Yes the galleon is intended to be a xvi century galleon which has been upgraded and modified over time with the acquisition of booty and trade by it's captain, carpteners, and crew. A constant work in progress.

[Mazin]

Trampoline? Well, it looks very cool

Seems that picture making is like sound recording, one has to use a lot of crazy and unimagible ideas to get the right effect

And a... modyfing and upgrading is one thing, I guess that Your pirates should win themselves a newer and safer ship, because with this oldtimer they'll never now when it'll decide to go down

[Ltfalcon]

Yea I agree, but she's still pretty to look at and I'm a huge fan of galleons.

[Mazin]

Well like everyone here i guess can't understand people who aren't

So were You inspired by any particular ship ( real or fictional ) while making Your own?

Any favorites among those used by Holywood?

Polanski's "Neptune", or Harlin's "Morning Star"?

Well growing up watching old Captain Blood and Captain Kidd swashbuckler movies on Sunday as a kid and of course with the recent Pirates the Black Pearl always gave the tall galleons the glamorous appeal.

The Golden Hind, Revenge, San Martin, along with the Pearl are favorites. I need to swap out stern windows with ached ones to improve the look of the ship. The Neptune, and Morning Star are beautiful ships as well.

I think the main challenge with galleons is to not make them look too bulky.

In that case, your MOC has been quite successful.

Captain Braunsfeld, Thank you,

I did toy around with the stern cabin windows.

Change noticed - better!
