I’m not sure I care for the radar-dish ‘umbrella’ over the crow’s nest, but
a good use for a part that would normally be nowhere near a pirate MOC. And
I like the use of the green arms on the Captain Redbeard torso too.

Yeah, I was thinking of putting one of those sand green roof pieces from
Harry Potter sets above the crow’s nest to make the ship have more sand
green, since I only have a little bit, but the radar dish is a bit easier to
put there. I know how I could attach the sand green roof, but the flag pole
on top wouldn’t stay on very well since it’s just a stud with no hole on top
of the roof piece.
If you think the radar dish is out of place,

Not the radar dish - the roof itself: If you can get a roof up there, you should
be sending the lookout to stand on top of it!

you have to see my imperial navy
ship. It has car windshields as windows and the back window is a tiefighter
cockpit, the mast is made out of technic beams and white space tires. It
actually doesn’t look too bad, just gotta use your imagination. Once I get
better pieces to make masts with, the tires will be removed, mainly because
the mast falls apart a lot.
|
Pics please.... I’ve used technic beams before, and would be interested in how
the space wheels fit in. I’ve got a couple of ships with built up masts (1xn
plates on the Cosette and 1x1 rounds (on a flex tube for strength) as the mizzen on the
Digne), and am
always on the lookout for more options.

I don’t have the rigging on it, but I should get it on there
soon. I’ll take more pictures of it when I do and put them in my brickshelf
portfolio. The ship is called The Black Widower.
|
Looking forward to seeing more!
|
Rigging the ship is my least favorite part of building I think, but oh well.
I will do it one of these days, I still haven’t done the rigging on most of
the other ships either, but I will soon hopefully. I’ll take pictures right
after I do.
|
If you’re a non-purist, hat elastic is wonderful stuff for rigging. And do a
search on .pirates for lots of info on sailmaking, if you’re thinking about
creating your own.
Cheers

| (...) Yeah, I see what you're saying now. I'm going to change it now anyway, cause I was looking at it earlier and I noticed there's not much room for a big sail. The sail would have to be tiny, so I'm going to make the crow's nest higher to leave (...) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
