As many of you may know, I've decided to attempt to build all the ships from Pirates of the Caribbean.
I thought I should make a thread to show my progress.
I've built many practice ships but have only a few of the new and better design. This is the HMS Providence from movie 4. I spent hours doing research into how these ships look and their dimensions and this a 1:1 replica of the ship.

I would love comments on ways to improve it as I am trying to make it as accurate as possible. :)

Wow shark nice job on that ship!
-
Thanks Master :) it took a very long time to make.
I'm thinking of putting it on planet minecraft in the projects section.
btw for people who are wondering, it is a British Royal Navy ship (obvious with the 'HMS') and it is a 36 canon, flush deck frigate. It's also my favourite ship from the series. I'm considering doing the HMS Dauntless next. The Royal Navy is my favourite :)

My faith in builders has been restored :O
Thats amazing :D Keep up the good work.
Guess you had a lot of single player time with your internet being dead most of the time?
-
OH. MY. Arceus .
*drops jaw*
Amazing job Shark! I applaud you for making this magnificent build.

Yeah the majority of my time on minecraft during my Internet failure was working on these ships. I have six other practice ships that I built before hand but they are all terrible and I'm re-doing them :P

Lol thanks Ali :)
-
That's amazing! Nice job, it looks very realistic.
-
It needs pirates :p
-
Arrrrr well once I finish some of the Royal Navy ships I'm going to build the pirate ships and then we all can have a battle on a server :)
My next navy ship will be the HMS Dauntless which is a first-rate ship of the line with 100 canons (realistic) so that'll be interesting.
Thanks Z4 :)

Yeah that would be fun. Everyone seems to be making videos on youtube of that map, even yogscast. My ships are only loaded with fire charges (possibly wither heads in future) because dispenser canons are better for aesthetics.
-
Yeah, you're not building for any practical use. But I'm sure a simple conversion could make into a fun game :p
-
Well actually it is fully functional and canons with fire charges are actually pretty good weapons. They are probably closer related to realistic canons than TNT but don't give as much boom. It depends if you want a longer or shorter battle.
I was actually planning of installing the zepelin mod and sail the ship around :P
-
:O That'd be cool. i've never seen what that mod is like. Is it airships mod or something different?
-
if applying to server, idh zepplin mod :(
otherwise, COUNT ME IN!!!!!

I tried that map with a friend, it was meh -i was expecting more, SPBR mixed with zepellins mod coudl be awesome though

Ok, after a lot of putting it off, I have started construction on the HMS Dauntless.
Here is a pic of the start of its base with the HMS Providence in the distance.

nice pics, i like
-
Ok, i've been putting off building for awhile but have recently picked up progress. I'm up to doing the rigging on the HMS Dauntless but at the same time as building it I have updated the HMS Providence. I have replaced the original pic with version 2.0 in the first post. Please have a look and tell me what you think. :)

The HMS Dauntless is finally complete!!!!
here's the pic:

Suggestions and comments would be appreciated. Also on the red ensign at the back, the blue and white bit is meant to be a union jack but doesn't look much like it (looks like the flag of Finland :P). Suggestions on that would also be good.
The HMS Dauntless is a 1st rate ship of the line, meaning it's the biggest and most powerful ship of the time. It has 100 canons and was the flagship of Commodore James Norrington in POTC 1.
P.S. You may notice that in the movie it had a blue ensign but in real life it was in the area of the red squadron so I decided to go with fact.
-
Finally finished the HMS Interceptor. It has been finished for a little while but I only just got around to posting it.
I apologise for how long this has taken. This is by far the smallest ship i've built and should have been the quickest. I had a huge gap with not building ships that spanned a few months and then picked it up and finished it off in a couple days.
Here it is:

The HMS Interceptor appeared in the first POTC movie and is the most well know Royal Navy ship in the series. It was known to be small but very fast, fastest in the fleet. The Black Pearl was the only one who was able to outrun it, causing its destruction.
It is a brig and has 16 canons + 2 swivel guns.
Same thing applies with the HMS Dauntless in regards to the red ensign instead of the blue.
I've made quite a few updates in regards to the HMS Dauntless, so I may post a new pic.
I can't decide what i'll build next. I've actually built all the major RN ships now, except the HMS Endeavour but it's the same type as the Dauntless. I'm either going to build a RN corvette or 3rd rate.
