The Bluecoat Brig "Avenger"

Recommended Posts

pirates-indexed.gif 169D

This is the Brig Avenger that was tweaked for my son. We needed a ship to help protect the our blue coat port as we ready for the 2015 blue coat port sets.

From the crows nest, "Admiral!! a pritate ship on the horizon". (Updated battle pictures at end of thread)

A nice build!

Good to see the two ships engaging.

I noted that the crew has white hats. The bicornes usually come in black. Did you paint them or find them in white somewhere?

Captain Braunsfeld, Thanks your replies are much appreciated.

Yes, I do custom paint pieces sometimes to add some additional flair to a build.

As always good eye! :)

Nice build. Those pirates seem a little slow in opening their gun ports.

Lol, yes good catch. Oh well the Blue Coats need the advantage as they are out gunned. It may even the odds a little. :)

Nice build. I like the way you've used slopes and curves for the stern - it makes for an impressive looking ship.

Do more close-ups pirate_classic.gif

It seems that bluecoat's ships has a much bigger cabin, while pirate galleon got itself more guns istead. So it looks that Cpt Roger prefers armanents to personal comforts, while blue admiral follows the other way. pir_laugh2.gif

For a minute I thought that those buildings behind Your ships are actually Legos too pirate_laugh_new.gif

And I see that there's a meme in elvish, hobbitish, whatever, something tolkienish pirate_wink.gif

Mazin,

First of all thank you for the great reply,

Yes the blue coat cabin is one peg longer in length, but the galleon has four peg length balcony extended on the rear. Captain "Dead Eye Dave" does like the guns though. The twelve 24 pounders are a force to be reckoned with. Admiral "Pruiett" does like his creature comforts typical for a highborn. I've added additional closeup pictures per your request,

The battle continues as the Pirate boarding parties have there boarding pikes in hand!

Yes the meme was done by my daughter "A happy family is an early heaven"

Thanks again,

David

Yeay, it's good to have one talented daughter pirate_wink.gif

That looks very nice pirate_classic.gif

Anyway, seems that someone is preparing to board those blues.

So are these more like pikes or did want to do some kind of grappling hooks ( or "grapnels" are they called? )?

I'd add some musket stations, to repel the attack. pirate_satisfied.gif

And correct me if i'm wrong but You've apparently replaced some of the pirate crew. Roger is gone somewhere ( or maybe he's doing some strategy in his cabin ) and Your helmsman lost his hat somewhere ( or maybe it's just his tradition to take if off before battle ) pirate_wink.gif

Oh, and some should tell Admiral Pruiett that his watchman on the top is blind, he's obviously looking for a pirate ship in a completely wrong direction pirate_wink.gif

And of course, it's always great to see a steward with a broom that continues to perform his duties whatever circumstances :thumbup:

Added some gun stations for the Blues but think they are still being over run, I overheard the captain telling the gun crew to load chain shot in the 24's and I see the grappling hooks about to be tossed to bring her in for boarding.

Nicely done, very smoothly! Now, I think it's time to move on for you from official Lego-techniques to your own, like cannonholes, sails, and masts of course. Try making your future ships look more realistic like by making sails of different sizes according to the size of the ship and mast.

Regards, Edward

Nice vessels LtFalcon. It appears you need some role-playing rules like Brikwars 2010.
