Thar be teamwork!
Fifteen builders from around the world built this great LDD fort through a months-long relay. Each participant was allowed to place up to 300 pieces and never move someone else's work. Amazingly in the end it all came together to form a cohesive build with lots of great details and some really fun easter eggs.

The ship that circumnavigated the globe between 1831 and 1836.
The famous ship on which a young Charles Darwin became inspired for his theory of evolution, has now been made in LDD! As far as I know it's the best LEGO model of this ship so far. Especially the deck details can be very inspirational for other ships. And of course it's nice to have a small virtual tour on this vessel.

It's only a WIP, but already a very good-looking ship.
Except for the fact that you have (almost) all the bricks, working with MLCad and LDD is usually more difficult than building with real bricks. Therefore it's always impressive to see some good ship MOC's made with one of those programs. Eddy Redbeart has made 4 stunning ships with great colourschemes and a perfect shape. From a small pirate galleon to an Imperial flagship, he's made some good stuff for everyone.

Eurobricks, home to the Classic-Pirates.com forums is running its first ever LEGO® Digital Designer (or LDD for short) contest! The contest covers all themes, so Pirate fans that means you too.
There are 2 categories for entrants to participate in, you can build solely in LDD or build in LDD with a real LEGO® model to back it up. Each theme has its own posting thread but all entries will be judged per category. Nevertheless now is a great time to show off your LDD building skills!
Slap on your building cap and head on to the forum to read the full rules!
A brand new LDD MOC!
A new ship is setting sail! It's HMS Lively, one of Jack Aubreys ships in the Aubrey/Maturin series. Kurigan did a great job on this LDD MOC. The shape is perfect and it also has some nice details like a very inventive capstan design. This ship may be very helpful to all shipMOC'ers. Furthermore Kurigan has also made a lot of other ships, all looking excellent.

A new beauty is almost ready to set sail...
Although we don't know her name yet, she has made her name on the forums already! While she is still a Work In Progress, we can see she is turning out really good! Based on Alamai's own LDD creation he decided to go for the real bricks!
Time for you to check out WIP HMS...? by Alamai in the forum!
Tumblehome effect in CAD? You've got to be joking! But no, Captain Cavinano has done just that with his model of a Dutch Fluyt. This 3-masted ship built entriely digital brick with no pre-fab hulls is quite stunning in its shape, design and colour scheme. And, it has great custom cannons!
Rush over to the Pirate forum and discuss Captain Cavinano's Dutch Fluyt!
LEGO® Digital Designer has many uses, so it goes without saying that a great LDD pirate MOC rakes up a fuss. So prepare to be fussing pirate fans, because Joey Lock has something HUGE in store for us!
Here Joey demonstrates that LDD can be taken seriously as a tool for designing awesome fortresses. What lies before us spans three unique structures, all maintaining that classic piratical atmosphere, further aided by coastal details built into the foreground. This fort would definitely make a fine addition to anyone's collection, but - of course - there is the price tag...
