The "broken" wall with the red bricks looks great! Nice work

I have a lot of experience recording with Fraps and I really like it. Nice and easy to use and I haven`t had any problems with it yet. It`s a one time fee of around 10 $ (I think).

I also use Adobe Premiere and agree that it`s the best editing software atm. It`s a bit pricey but it`s worth it in my opinion if you can afford it. It works great and is easy to learn.

Here is my first build of this scale, a Hail Storm class heavy destroyer, the HMS Undaunted; her armament includes 10 total TNT cannons, four main guns, three Scatter-guns on each side, and a total of 12 light cannons. The main turrets have a 100+ block effective range, and the port and starboard scatter-guns have a 34 block effective range. She is a whopping 115 blocks long from stem to stern, 29 blocks at her widest, and 53 blocks tall from the keel to the top of the mast.


Here is my second build of this size, the Thunderhead class light carrier. The one on the left is Variant 1, HMS Harbinger, and the one on the right is the HMS Surinam. The harbinger's specs are as follows. She is a full ten blocks longer than the Undaunted at 121 blocks long, she is 36 blocks tall from her keel to the top of the radio antenna, and she is 32 blocks wide at the widest. She was based on the Japanese carrier Kaga in WW II and was designed to be more sleek and aerodynamic than the Undaunted. As carrier support is key to any naval battle, whether air or sea, she has 14 total light cannons and 2 scatter-guns at the base of the towers to defend herself if necessary. This variant of the Thunderhead class light carrier can carry up to 3 light attack gunboats. My other variant can carry 4 light attack gunboats. In the picture you see both variants of the Thunderhead class.




Here is my dreadnought class light attack ship, christened, the HMS Stratica. These models should have been retired long ago but for some reason they just keep cropping up. These old ships are built sturdy and made to last long years without service overhauls, making them especially popular with mercenaries and pirates. Their only downside is that they have a weak spot, just between the gas cells in the stern. One clean shot and it disables the boiler, crippling the ship. Other than that one weak spot, they can take quite a beating, and they can dish one out too. Having 5 light turrets on the upper deck, and one double turret for the belly gun. The main weapon; however, might be the reason they are still in service. They have quite a scatter-gun mounted on the bow. After the first one was commissioned the gun/ship combo could never quite be repeated. Anyway, here is the tour, starting with the outside as usual.


This makes for my biggest build so far, the Great City-ship Icarus. She is around 500 blocks long and 200 blocks wide at the midsection, and around 150 blocks tall. The only one of her kind, commissioned as a free city-state, separate from national boundaries, able to travel anywhere throughout the globe. Upon her christening people will flock to her for a new life among the clouds their only obligation being to travel the world and care for their beloved city. She is about 70% complete, so don't get too exited for launch.



Here is the Pirate vessel Chimera. Built in secret at the navy bone-yard in New Brummel by a band of foolhardy bandits, this vessel packs a surprising punch. With four single light cannons on the deck two double light cannons on the deck, two double light cannons on her belly and the most powerful gun on the ship being a stripped down destroyer turret right on her bow. These pirates either new what they were doing or they were just plain lucky the ship didn't fall apart from under their heels during takeoff. According to eyewitness accounts the ship lifted off from the bone-yard and outran the navy warships sent after her. Probably according to the battleship turbine strapped to her stern...



Now for something a little bit different, a civilian cargo freighter, the R-37 Air-train. Air-trains are named by taking the name of the engine, in this case the Argon Mist, and attaching the number of "cars" they pull to the name. Making this particular air-train the Argon Mist 3. Here are the specs on the ship, the engine is 28 blocks long, 22 blocks wide, and 15 blocks high. This engine has two boilers and four engine pods; however, their are other engines with as many as four boilers and eight total engine pods. Now the cars are standard from train to train at 33 blocks long, 13 blocks wide, and 12 blocks high. Each car can carry up to four cargo pallets with 60 crates each. That's enough technical jargon for now so here is the Argon Mist 3.





Here is my new line of private ships based on the ships from Guns of Icarus online. They are located around the Icarus in my world download.


Hope you enjoyed seeing my ships. Comments and feedback are always welcome.
