Howdy, all. Here is your old American fan of British warships making another post. You might have remembered a few months back that I made a small brig which I cristened HMS Phoenix. I have recently done a massive overhaul (is that the naval term? I am more used to railway terms) on her, adding another course of sails and a captain's cabin, and here is the brand new Phoenix. The bow and PHOENIX figure: The anchor (not present on mark I model): One of the two cannons: A view of the captain's cabin (sorry for poor quality. I couldn't get a better shot): Inside, the captain has his liquor collection, a map and compass, and--all right Admiral, I give in, they are kind of tasty--a croissant. View from behind the ship: The johnny boat tied to the stern: And a few supplies stored in the forecastle: Now let's meet the crew of the Phoenix. Here are the three officers (L to R): Captain Marius Gloriosus, Lieutenant John Fitzsimmons, and the ship's master, yours truly. The sailors (L to R): The helmsman, the cook (he got hot frying oil in his eye), the boatswain, the gunner, the cabin boy, and the carpenter. The marines: Hugh and Pugh (I can't tell them apart, either). And now for a bit of fun: Pugh: Walk the plank, you dirty pirate! I hope that you have enjoyed this look at my top ship, even though it isn't much to look at. But, hey, I never grew up with the old LEGO pirates line, and all of the new LEGO ships are pretty expensive. I am just being resourceful with what I have. I am not deterred by a lack of parts. Besides, it is not that bad of a ship. Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:
