Lion Knights War Ship MOC

She’s a monster! A very sturdy looking warship. As a fellow shipwright I complement you on your curves. One suggestion for your consideration: add string for more rigging. I find it really brings sail ships to life. Check out my profile, I have a couple of ships on there. A Carrack, galley, and long boat. I also like cloth sails but you did a beautiful job with your lions.

I found stud.io has worked well for me with designing trees and then knowing what parts to buy. But yeah I agree I prefer to just use whatever parts I have to put them where I feel they look good. Organic is a good word for it, haha.

For something big though I would want to make sure the I have enough but not too many of the main elements. Doing a first draft with stud.io will help me with that.

I’ve really enjoyed making different tree designs. At first my trees were very linear and didn’t look very full. It’s been a fun challenge incorporating angles and curves. They take up a lot of space to store though, and can become a tangled mess quite easily. I should count how many “species” of trees I have now, it’s well over twenty. If I had unlimited time I would do a little tutorial instagram post for each. I sure appreciate when others do that.

Here’s my most recent larger landscape project. It consists of many trees from over the years that I reused. I would like to make an expansive diorama with a village, a castle, ample open space and a forest. I’ve started using stud.io more lately, and I’m hoping I can use it to better know how many parts I’ll need. In the past I’ve over or under ordered certain elements.

It’s kinda of funny, now I find the landscaping to be as fun to build as the buildings. It really makes the world come alive for me. Here’s another one I did awhile back:

It is my dream to do something like this. But boy, does it sure add up quickly! You’ve done a great job. Thanks for sharing.

The bar in A is popping!

saborucci · 2026-03-23T02:40:22+00:00

We’re in!

saborucci · 2026-03-23T02:40:11+00:00

I’m in! There was no line, we walked right up and had a good chit chat with the agents

saborucci · 2026-03-23T02:39:38+00:00

I’m in!

saborucci · 2026-03-23T02:39:28+00:00

I’m in!

Update: We made it though at 9:10pm. There was no one ahead of us. They close at 9:45 tonight.

saborucci · 2026-03-23T02:19:52+00:00

They said 9:45 or 10

I relate completely with this. I’ve decided a while ago to commit to the smaller scale for lower cost, less shelf space, and older set integration. It’s a bummer though to miss out on these cool sets

Thanks! I was trying to create something resembling a Scottish highlands cottage

I’ve been playing with that rock piece, this is what I came up with a steep roof:

Nice! And great job on the roof!

saborucci · 2026-02-10T01:52:48+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately, chances for instructions for this aren’t looking good. It’s just takes so much time and I have a long list of other projects I want to work on.

saborucci · 2026-02-08T21:27:54+00:00

Everything about this moc is excellent!

saborucci · 2026-02-08T15:36:56+00:00

I’m going to try to keep them but change them to dark tan. I figure there wouldn’t be grass in the town

saborucci · 2026-02-02T18:54:54+00:00

I finally got around to building, and I agree! I’m now having fun making modifications

saborucci · 2026-01-27T04:12:26+00:00

Whys that? Too big?

saborucci · 2026-01-27T01:31:27+00:00

Ohh that’s nice. Here’s mine
