Legostone Posted January 2, 2017 OOC: Well, this is the last one that I can get ready for this MRCA. Considering that members of Eslandola have licensed a couple of speed 4 (5Fs) merchants over the past month, it would only make sense to add a first escort with equivalent speed to it... Also note: This was a quite rushed build (I noticed 2 days ago that we need it), so the quality of the build may be a tiny bit worse than usual, but I still think it'll fit well with the rest of my fleet. Fun fact: This ship used up the last of my green cloth, so expect different coloured sails for my next ships, maybe I'll return to dark red. How does one make a compact, well armed ship that still performs well? Well, I hope this is the right way. This ship might be a bit odd, considering how rare quarterdecked Schooners are, but the 6 Swivel guns on there should certainly help against attacking pirates. And well, maybe they are scared already by the 6 6 pounders that each broadside carries on the gundeck? And if they dare coming close, there are always a few happy snipers in the fighting tops, if you call them that. I call them crosstrees with a plank nailed on top of them, but it certainly works for us! So, enough talk, we wanna see the ship! I think I'll still tinker with this one a bit, but I was quite short on time. The prow certainly needs a bit more work as I just noticed in these pictures, as does the curve around the bow! Stay tuned! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted January 2, 2017 I really like this quarterdecked schooner, even if she does sport red and blue prominently. I like the technic pins for cannons, and it has a nice gallery at the stern. The crown (such an archaic term) has transferred the funds for purchase, and the Victoria is now licensed as a 5LA.

Elostirion Posted January 3, 2017 Another very cool ship from you. ESLANDOLA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted January 6, 2017 A pity you ran out of dark-green cloth, cause the sails sure look amazing! Though I'm not sure about the stern (a bit bare IMHO), I like all the rest! Amazing work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Becker Posted January 6, 2017 Well this little beauty sure didn't take too much time before launching. And still it has become a beautiful schooner whit great color choices both on the hull and on the sails. I hope she shall have a long and peaceful service ahead! Fair winds and calm seas!
