[ESL] 4T2 Jon El Flurry

Recommended Posts

OOC: I had already said that my shipyards have been quite busy - and it still isn't over (although I think this is the second last one I'll publish before this MRCA). This one has been sitting in the shipyards for several months now, just waiting patiently for finally getting finished, and I've finally done that over the past week!

Well, well. At the time I announced that I would be able to take an order for a ship every now and then I didn't expect an order for a class 4T2 right that moment. But time, resources and space allowed for it, so we went ahead and built up this Snow. Carrying 8 18 pounder Carronades, she can certainly defend herself against some pirates, but an escort would likely be a good idea. She certainly has the cargo space to warrant an escort! She'll be delivered to the MCTC who ordered her over the next few days, right before the convoys are leaving port.
Let's see what she looks like!

At request of the MCTC I had to install some quartergalleries to allow a little bit more space on board.

And now you know why these are called tall ships! They are very tall!

I hope I delivered what you wanted @Kai NRG ! If you think I did feel free to request another ship, but expect similar delay as last time!

Nope, this looks very nice, great colorscheme and your rigging is impressive as always!  I like the stern on this one, and the brick-built ESL flag! :thumbup:

I really like this ship! I love the detailed masts and bowsprit, and the fence pieces used on the fo'c's'le and quarterdeck give it some character. And, of course, the white color scheme seems appropriate for a snow. :pir-grin:

An excellent job on this one! :thumbup:

The MCTC has transferred the agreed upon funds to you and has submitted her license.

Another fantastic ship, my personal favourite of all of your recent works. Great.

 

Now someone give the shipwrights of Legostone this medal for "Eslandolan of the months", right? Might be one of the first things the new Admius Legistrad will have to suggest... :-)

Actually, I have something to suggest for him as soon as we convene the colonial council. His effort will be recognized!

:pir-oh: A very nice ship with awesome color choices indeed! May we see more pictures of the hull? I would like to steal study the design :pir-tongue: :pir-devil:

You should have named her snow White!:laugh: really nice looking brig, shape, mast and sails all look great! I do wonder where the inspiration for those headrails came from?

Thanks! I'm glad you like the colourscheme for this one, and am also glad the deal has worked out well:D

Thanks! I'll take a couple more pictures on the weekend, I feel like some of my ships are still missing a couple of pictures...

:D Jon El Flurry was a name that came together totally on accident and we decided to keep it:P For the headrails - I'm not quite sure where I got these from, just the usual flex tubes that, if I remember correctly, were first used by Perfectionist/Imperial Shipyards. I'll have to correct you though - it is a Snow, not a Brig. You can see the Snowmast in this WIP image:

The first fkex tube headrails on a ship were on my la mort royale, but imperial shipyards Just used them in a more "perfectionist" way.:laugh: anyways, they seem to be used as ornamental instead of functional like on real ships? So I wondered if there is a real life example of this? A snow is a type of brig if I'm not mistaken? Which part exactly is the snow nast? I don't know anything about this type.:look:

Yeah, on this one they are more ornamental, but I think they fit the look of the ship:P Didn't know you were the first to use them, really thought it was Imperial Shipyards. A snow isn't exactly a Brig, it developed from the other side. The Brig was developed from the two masted Brigantine, and the snow developed from the fully rigged ship, with the mizzen getting really close to the Main. Check Wikipedia for more:P

Aha, now I see that extra boom behind the mizzen, also called a trisail mast I Just read. They made that to accomodate a larger sail for nore speed.  Interesting stuff! :thumbup:

More of these dark-green sails please! :wub: Your colour-scheme is just great, with the green and white (MAESTRO colours :wink:) strips. I also like these galleries, overall another amazing ship!
