 | | The Crystal Skull
|
| After taking a break from BrickFest PDX and working on completing Mecha Godzilla, I got a chance to head to LLCA. On my "parts and set run" I picked up a few lbs of 1x2 clear plate!! I was able to finish a MOC I had started years ago when they first (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jul-07, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.org.us.sealug, lugnet.pirates) !!

| | | | | The steampunk skiff 'Egregious'
|
| Loosely inspired by some gorgeous SW Sail Barge MOCs on Brickshelf, NELUG's latest [1] Brikwars game featured a steampunk skiff battle set above the desolate Kar'Zuba desert. Every skiff represented a Trading Guild, and upon arrival at the outskirts (...)

| (...) As soon as I looked at this creation I thought of the Disney 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Maybe the colour scheme, I don't know but I expect the paddlewheels to be powered by a small nuclear reactor. (18 years ago, 14-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, FTX)

| Very nice! One of my faviourite ships for ages... I like the menacing narrow silhouette and even the red colour scheme works surprisingly well. Great work and God Bless, Nathan (URL) (18 years ago, 14-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, FTX)

I hope your recent spate of posting is a promise of more of your excellent sea-going vessels. (...) (18 years ago, 14-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, FTX)

| (...) I agree that weapons traditionally considered medieval should be used sparingly in AoS (Age of Sail) MOCs, but they aren't entirely out of period, nor unheard of in Lego® models. Look just above the row boat in this image: (URL) I guess if (...) (18 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Corsair 'Adroit Main'
|
| (...) Hi Richie, I like the basic look about this MOC but it seems a little square to me. All of your larger vessels have flared cabins at the rear which I've always admired so perhaps you could incorporate something like this here. The large axe (...)

I've been planning to use the larger bow pieces for a pirate ship myself, so it's nice to see that it can work. Oh I (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Corsair 'Adroit Main'
|
| A very nice little ship. The sterncastle and rudder assembly has very nice lines and those swivel guns amidships are well done. The masts and sails are also well done. I do think the catheads seem a little too long but such a minor nit, not really (...) (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
