Din is the goddess of Power in the Legend Of Zelda. The crest on the stern of this ship represents the Triforce which is the essence of the goddess’ power combining Power, Wisdom and Courage (I love the believe in multiple gods, personally I'm a big fan of Allah, God, and that jewish guy, mostly because they don't play nice together :P)
This ship is very different from my previous built ships. I used a technique developed by Captain Green Hair.
He made a very helpfull tutoral on Classic Pirates.com. You must have seen the Spanish Galleon by Bonaparte Napoleon and Captain Green Hair. The nicest galleon on the internet to my opinion.
Anyway, enjoy (be sure to check out the video showing the features)
I'm planning on doing some changes though, I don't like the white railing on the deck
note that the ship wasn't completely finished when I made the video
Din, Goddess of Power, often depicted with the Fire element and red color
The railing is a pain, I see some people using those tubes from pneumatic stuff, I have some but I only use for actual pneumatic installations, like I did on my other ship
the tubes you can see here are much more resistant to bending.
The Triforce Crest, the top triangle is yellow (gold) as it is that of Power.
for the interested, the left one is that of Wisdom, the goddess Nayru and the right one is that of Courage, the goddess Farore.
Side view, it might look like this ship is quite bulky but you have to keep in mind that the waterline situates near the grey colored line on the ship, everything under the grey is located underwater when sailing.
This makes it difficult to compare it with my other ships
Following pictures are from some wips, including the transition of Din's Fire to a brown hull.

fabulous ship! the functions make it very special! a shame you re missing parts to accomplish your vision! do you occasionally buy more kits? i ve bought a pirates of carabean kit with bottles lately, the pirates s costumes are very nice! and the bottles are gems! $15 each [x2] those bottles are quite rare! nd they have a ship printed on them! i wish you get the opportunity to get some sebeus! they would add a nice touch to this masterpiece! great work!
I just got two sets, the one with the ship-printed bottles and the biggest, Queen Anne's Revenge :D
some new ship material to work with

Great detail, looks more detailed than your other ships. I like how you've made the curved gundeck. It looks just like a proper frigate! Good luck on your flying dutchman

oh ok then and your well come
I realized I was endorsing Christianity instead of religion in general so you were right actually, I changed it to a more general statement which won't offend anyone
Quoting zack the lego maniac you might want to remove the thing about Christianity its a little offensive
But all I said was what I think, it's an opinion, It's not offensive when said by a not-christian. I bet a muslim sais the Islam is cooler than christianity.
Thanks for the review
in the words of the doctor its fantastic especially the triforce and all the detail vary nice but the only thing have to say is you might want to remove the thing about Christianity its a little offensive
Am I the only one who noticed the long-haired, wackadoo at the wheel? I suggest a sobriety test before embarking on any journeys with that nut-job at the helm! The ship is gorgeous and I am envious of your skill with these builds. Maybe someday I can pull off something half as nice...~H
Most impressive. I ordered the Queen Anne's Revenge yesterday to learn a bit more about LEGO® ships. Right now they - or model ships in general - are a complete mystery to me. Btw, bending those tubes is easier when you're using a hair-dryer (in case you haven't tried it already).

I just LOVE the colours you've used on this ship, and those old fashioned white windows look fantastic. Can you build the Argo? From Jason and the Argonaughts?

Nice ship- good job.... few things bother me- i don't like those triangles there look out of place to me... black deck is not best possible (someone tarred it too much XD) and then capstan has those "hands" there with open grip- you could use this part3 http://www.findmybrick.com/popup_image.php?pID=3871&osCsid=9782d17335589907476a930aa4ff3999 to fill the grip of that hand- you know put it interlocked so there wouldn't be odd clip but just a pole- of course if you don't have any of those but i have many of them.....
well those triangles are kind of the ships identification and I like them. filling the grips of the capstan is a good idea, now the black decks, I used all of my tan alsewhere but I could have used grey though I'm not sure if that would have been better.

I like how you've given the hull the curved appearance. I also think your job of the railing is fine. All those small white windows?? I hope your not showing your age mate cause I last had those when I was about 3... Beautiful Ship Sebeus! ~Thoy
:P I found those windows in a second hands collection, they are from way before my generation :P

Okay, this is.. Awesome. I saw the name and said "That sounds like... but no, it couldn't be. Wait, is that the Triforce?". Seriously, this is awesome. The only thing that would make it cooler is if you built two sister ships...
"Farore's Wind" would be a great name for another ship but I'm not sure about "Nayru's Love" :P
