Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Albus. Flagship of Colonial Rutileo.

It is painted inside and out,
(http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/8203/008fj.jpg)
It also has many special features!
(http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/8642/009gqb.jpg)
I have done something that I have seen no other ship customizer do before, :)
(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4140/011du.jpg)
I cut the bottom of the second deck to make room enough for klickies to stand up!
(http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/7663/012rvi.jpg)
There is now space under to store stuff.
I also pretend that the crew sleeps below these shelves.
But that is not all, I finally have a kitchen!
(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/2223/013kv.jpg)
Ok, not a real kitchen, it is just a doorway.
But it looks like it leads below the front of the ship to the kitchen. ;)
And I have a ventilation hole coming out of the side of the ship,
That is supposed to be a way of getting air down there.
(http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/2851/006fn.jpg)
I hope you all like the Albus, my first custom ship.
I will be adding more to it in a little while, so I will keep you updated. :wave:

She's a fine vessel, WoT! Great custom! Excellent work! :)9
-
She is georgeous!!!! Very nice work Warrior!!!
-
Thanks guys! :)
-
WOT, the pics in this thread I can't see them, but the other pics in the Naginata thread and such I can.
Did you post them differently?? ???
-
Excellent custom work, WoT. The idea of having room for the klickies to stand between decks is unique I'm sure.
The kitchen is the galley and you will need a brick or iron stove of course for safety.
-
Not my favorite color theme for this ship type, but you did a nice work with all the little extras. :)9
-
the paint job came out very good. great custom
-
It looks fantastic WoT! Nice choice of colors, and you did a great job applying them. And I like how you modified it to give some extra room below deck, much more realistic that way.
-
Very cool ship WOT. I dig your new avatar as well. :wave:
-
very cool indeed I can see the pics here! the extra space in the lower deck was very smart!!!!!!!!!! :love:
-
that's a nice ship wot :)
-
A very nice 3286/3940-custom, WoT! :clap:
I'll be glad to capture her, when/where-ever I spot her flag! >:D :captain:
-
So many replies! Thanks guys. :wow:
I didn't post the photos differently Gaston, I hope you get to see them later. :-\
For now, here is a preview of the vessel: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/199/015gnp.jpg/
(You can probably go back and forth between pictures to see more. :) )
Gordon, galley, right. Thank you for the correction, I knew something was off! :wave:
I am glad so many people liked the extra space as much as I did. ;D
-
As for you, Hadoque. ;)
Here be her flag! Come and try to get her.
(http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/9862/flagh.jpg)
She will have 6 guns a side soon,
And double the crewmen, all eager fighters.
Plus 3 times the sails,
indeed the wind will be racing to catch up with her,
as will your finest vessel, the Dolphin. :lol:
(You are the Admiral of the beauty are you not?)
-
as will your finest vessel, the Dolphin. :lol:
(You are the Admiral of the beauty are you not?)
Nope; the superlarge "Dolphin" (double gundeck, 4 masts) is Macgayver's ship. I suppose he still has it...
You probably mean the "Unicorn" (originally also made by Macgayver) that is sailing under my flag... ;)
-
Sorry, got them confused because they are both my Macgayver. 8}
Now it is much less likely you would be able to defeat me! >:D ;)
-
:giggle: Watch your stern! ;)
-
Always. ;)
-
That is a great ship ! i like the color very much...the french army looks very shiny to the elegant colors of the ship. very very nice !
-
Thanks very much Skywalker. :wave:
The Blue uniforms show they are part of my Rutilian Navy.
The soldiers are blue because they are the Admiral's guard.
My regular soldiers are Red. ;D
-
Your Kingdom is full of surprises!!!!
Beautiful Ship WoT and clever customization there!!
The new lower deck is ideal for this kind of Vessels.
Bravo!
-
:wow: :wow: :wow: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :camera: :camera: :camera: :)9 :)9 :)9
-
Very nice WOT!
-
Thank you all very much. :)
I absolutely love the lower deck. :love:
Makes life easier.
-
Great work on this ship WoT. Are you going to extend your next custom or are you keeping the cutting to a minimum?
-
Great looking ship! I really like your realistic use of color.
-
Wow, the ship looks just beautiful :wow: :wow: :wow:
Great photographs also :wave:
-
Lovely custom WoT :clap: :wow: :clap:
Good choice of colour and a great idea to make space beneath the decks.

Thanks all, glad you liked the colors. :)
I did find period colors to make the ship more real. :wave:
Gis, If I find 2 or 3 of these ships for sale cheap...
I will buy them, and deform them, and pray they turn out well. ;D
They will see no mercy from me!
It is my dream to have my own huge custom ship as I have seen others do! :love:
-
Tempted to set up my armada now.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
A challenge? ;D
Guess I'll let it slide... since I have only 3 good sized ships and no cannons. :P
(One is on it's way.) <:>
-
only 3 good sized ships and no cannons. :P
:lmao: An easy defenceless prey! >:D

Not so much so! Without guns she'll be fast!

I think I can take you up on that dear sir! ;D
-
Arnaud, my corvettes cut off the adversary's track while fast sloops and gunboats catch up from behind, any opponent's ship gets de-masted. In the fog of the battle come my heavier frigates to finish off any remainder... >:D :P
-
I think I can take you up on that dear sir! ;D
I want to be first to annihilate his fleet :lol:

Hadoque,
:picsplz: :picsplz: :picsplz: :picsplz: :picsplz: :picsplz: of the entire fleet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok guys, let's get back on topic.
-
nice ship but a bit too white for me , i dream of a ship with wood everywhere but it's must be difficult to do to have a wood effect and not only the color of wood (i made few test on gallo shield but i won't show you my horrible work !!)
-
I am sure it is not that bad Gaspodfreud! :)
I am keeping all my ships in post as well,
until they are ready to sail with full guns and crew. ;D
Should be soon. :woohoo:
-
Very nice ship my friend! I love it!
btw, did u ever get around to making the deck lid cover? I wasn't able to spot it in your pics.
Your ship is awesome! Too bad my immortal crew of piratical miscrients cannot die, else you might be able to steal the Pearl from me. I can't wait to see your 12-gun ship! So far I'm at 14, but soon she'll be at 20! Watch yer rudder WOT! hehe.
btw, is your ship sea-worthy? If you ever sail her, make sure and replace the foam down in the bildges, or at least moor her to some floating bouy, and keep a line on her. Wouldn't want to see her sunk at the bottom of the sea! Very cool, man! I love it!
(OT: similar to the jousting tournament, it would be awesome to start a naval battle event.... using Photoshop techniques, I bet we could even get some pics of our custom ships battling each other (without even having to meet up in real life). Or we should get together and do a real naval battle live! hehe.)

I like each of those ideas! :wow: :yup:
(The real life encounter best!) :)9
Thanks very much for the compliments Atto. ;D
20 CANNONS! :o
I need to upgrade my ship... Where to fit more cannons? :eh?: ;)
Oh, and no, I didn't fill the hole yet. :-/
I keep planning to... but, but, but... :P
I really need to take the initiative one of these next few days and just do that. :doh:
-
sure it's not bad !! the painting is really good !!
-
Then why do you say it is horrible work? ???

in addition to the 6 notches I cut in the main deck railing to accommodate 6 cannons in addition to the 8 stock cannon ports that already come with the ship, I plan to cut 2 more cannon ports on each side of the gundeck (totalling 4 more guns), and one additional cannon port on each side of the main deck (totalling 2 more guns additionally), making a grand total of 20 guns (and still able to float).
Where, praytell, are you planning to add your additional 4 cannons? Will it be on the gundeck as well? (I'm planning on adding the gunports between the stern-most guns and the middle guns, as well as the fore-most guns and the middle guns. If we want to be completely awesome, WOT, we should add 2 forward-facing cannons (mine actually has room for them on the forecastle) as well as 2 aft-mounted "bow chaser" cannons. The fact that you cut your gundeck to have access to the bildges would be a good opportunity to install chaser guns facing aft just below the captain's cabin, or you can make the captain's cabin completely part of the main gun deck and add the stern chasers from the main gundeck level from inside the captain's cabin (just like the aft-most stock guns that face outward already). So, potentially, a 3286 ship has the potential to be a 24-gun ship!!!!

On the 5135 (new 3940/3286 version) the front-gap is covered. I'm not sure if it's covered with a lid, or if they just filled up the deck-mould...
If you can wait till mid-august, I'll be able to tell weither yes or no there is a fitting Playmobil-lid...
-
That would be awesome Hadoque! :o
Atto,
I really need to learn ship talk. ;)
It took me a while, but I finally figured out all the placements on your guns! :P
in addition to the 6 notches I cut in the main deck railing to accommodate 6 cannons in addition to the 8 stock cannon ports that already come with the ship, I plan to cut 2 more cannon ports on each side of the gundeck (totalling 4 more guns), and one additional cannon port on each side of the main deck (totalling 2 more guns additionally), making a grand total of 20 guns (and still able to float).
You will need to explain this with pictures or something... :-[
I still do not quite understand what you are saying here. :doh:
Where, praytell, are you planning to add your additional 4 cannons? Will it be on the gundeck as well?
That's the plan, But i hope not to have to cut the side of the ship...
We'll see. :-\
(I'm planning on adding the gunports between the stern-most guns and the middle guns, as well as the fore-most guns and the middle guns.
You mean you are adding additional holes in the side of your ship for extra cannon holes?
You are brave! :o I might, if I had another 3940 ship, and I hadn't already painted it! :P
If we want to be completely awesome, WOT, we should add 2 forward-facing cannons (mine actually has room for them on the forecastle) as well as 2 aft-mounted "bow chaser" cannons.

That's an interesting idea...
But I like to keep room for my captain (soon to be admiral). ;)
Like I said, I wish I had talked with you before I painted the ship. ::)
I will just have to make another ship, maybe Albus II. :toot:
...
-
I made some recent improvements for The Albus. :wave:
First, A small dinghy off the stern. :)
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/6143/dsc7943a.jpg)
Then I decided to make a new crew.
The admiral remains the same, but the rest of the crew's uniform will be different.
This is so my later time periods uniforms will match up,
And I think the gray looks much better. :)
(http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/7121/dsc7944v.jpg)
(http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/3186/dsc7945x.jpg)
(http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/7433/dsc7946.jpg)
I only have the first mate, whom will look a little different then the rest of the crew.
I will show the crewmen as I add them.
I hope you like the new additions. :wave:
-
great thinking about the stern boat warrior!!!
-
I can see WoT turning into a ferocious captain !!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Thanks guys. :wave:
I can see WoT turning into a ferocious captain !!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Soon George, the Rutilian navy will have
3 large ships, 4 mid sized ships, and 3 small "rocket" ships. ;D
-
Very nice custom ship WOT, i like the white paint look on the ship, looks very smart.
-
Thanks Abbot. :wave:
-
:-[ Sorry WOT it's taken me so long to visit your thread ( my mum's seen it earlier and told me how good it was!) Your ship is looking wonderful :love: :love:
I'm impressed by your alterations so far and by your next ideas :hatoff: :wow: :wow: :wow: I just haven't the patience or the talent to do a custom ship like this. I'm sure you'll be able to trounce the other ships when she's ready to cast off for deeper waters!
-
Thank you Emma! :) And tell you mom thanks too. :D
I sure hope she will. ;D :wave:
-
I love the dingy! The boat and the crew look fantastic :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
Thanks Jenna! :)
-
Nice custom ship, WarriorOfToys! :)9
-
Thank you Justindo. :wave:
It has been packed away for the move, but once I inbox it in our new home
I will place an order to Playmobil to finish it with all the sails and cannons. ;D
