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!

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 room for a bigger sail. I’m gonna be putting a triangular green sail on
it, and most likely draw spiderwebs on 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’ll have pictures of it soon enough, most likely tomorrow I’ll take some. I
used technic pieces like on the Black Widower, but with the white space tires
slid down over them. It doesn’t look great, and it’s not very strong, but it
works.

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.
|
I actually have done rigging on two ships already, I use thick sewing thread and
I make the sails out of construction paper. When I move out in the fall, I will
most likely redo all the sails with fabric, but for now they do the job. Paper
isn’t very strong, but I’m not rough with the ships at all anyway.
