Ah, yes. I saw this on Brickshelf yesterday! I absolutely love the balloons/bubbles underneath! Well designed, it flows well and is one of the more believable airships I've seen. I like the sails from the set, they've been incorporated well.

This is a very cool airship. The shape is very unique, it definitely says 'airship', not ocean ship. The blue bauble-things are a cool propulsion/levitation device, and the Jabba sails work really well here. I'm guessing this is only a light raider, since it doesn't look like it could hold a whole lot of loot. Maybe it's just the photography, but the old brown/redbrown mix doesn't seem too clashing here. One more thing. Are there interiors for the cabin and forecastle?

Edit: Forgot to mention, I love the figs too. The Jayko shields really work with air pirates.

Say it "ESS-MICK-GIN-ISS", with a hard "G", as in "get".

Yes, the ship is meant to be small and fast; able to catch up with larger, lumbering cargo airships quickly. I had imagined that this ship was made in a particularly advanced kingdom but was stolen by these pirates.smcginnis wrote:I'm guessing this is only a light raider, since it doesn't look like it could hold a whole lot of loot.

The brown and redish brown doesn't look so great, but the tan detracts from the contrast. The same can be done with bley and old grey-- as long as you have a bright color next to the two pieces, the two different greys will appear closer to the same.
Thanks for the kind words.

I would like to see a picture of it from the front, I didn't see one of those shots in the folder.
Also, love the custom crew, they add to the flair of the ship.

I added a picture taken of the front. It'll be up after moderation. There is room to detail the interior of the back section, but I havent done any detailing.
Thats a canopy that came in one of the alpha team sets. It might have been in other sets as well. I'm not sure-- I bricklinked a bunch of them back when I was building Sea Monkey stuff.ZIGGY! wrote:...what are those blue bubbles though,(WHat peice)?
The figs are great as well but I really like the whole design of htis creation.

Great work, Felix! The bubbles lend it a great magical feel, and I love its swooshy, swoopy shape.

I don't blame you. Jabba's Sail Barge would be an awesome set to be distracted by.Felix wrote:...Been working on a few big projects, but I took time out to play with the new Jabba sail barge...
