This LDD design is made to resemble the British snau(snow) HMS Ontario.

About this creation

I have chosen this ship because it had several features that can be found on larger vessels such as gun ports, boats and several decks. This design is intended as a trial platform for achieving authentic colors (both exterior as well as interior) and a good hull shape.

I quickly settled for using sections to tackle the issue of access to the lower decks.

This as well as the general design of the guns and boats can be found on a lot of my later designs.

A feature I haven´t come across since designing this ship is the windlass which has similar purposes as the (here absent) capstan.

One of the things both fun and challenging, was to design a rudder that actually worked. Here with some of the stern section removed, so you can see it.

I think this ship proved to be an excellent trial platform as most of the design solutions can be found on most of my later designs. Such as the tile plating on the hull, the gun emplacements, the run-through masts and the sideways hull shaping. (I don´t claim coming up with these solutions, but this design is the first time I have used them)

However there has been some development as can be seen when comparing to the HDMS Lougen.

Thanks for visiting, rating and commenting

Quoting Stephan Schumann I like it in every concern. Building-techniques, details, features, and shape are at it's best.

Thanks, my friend.

Quoting Mads Møller very nice ship indeed and nice to meet a fellow dane too. By the way i was wondering if you were playing age of empires 3?

Tak. Der er jo ikke så mange af os, og meget få der laver så gennemarbejdede Lego modeller som du gør, meget inspirerende. I´ve played it some time ago. I mostly play the Total War series and the Hearts of iron series. The combination of the pitched battles and the turn based strategy of the first is so cool and with Napoleon they really made a beautiful game I often pause it and just look at the ships and troops in awe. With the latter, Paradox is just excellent at making that global strategy game work and there are so many history gems in their games.

Quoting Sebeus I On LDD there's an option to "generate building instructions" you can save those instruction and upload them here, when you edit a mocpage you'll notice there's a button for "building instructions" just under "folder" and "directory".

Thank you for the tech support. Uploading has been done.

"btw, you can upload LDD building instructions on a mocpage, did you know ?" That could be quite cool. How?

This is really excellent! You have really nailed the lines well! You should definatly try to build a ship like that in bricks. The method used for the bottom part of the hull is identical to the one I build most my ships with, and I can tell you that it works out quite well in r/l.
