Franco Clarke Posted June 25, 2016 A new ship for the Oleon navy sails out of the shipyards! This is Stingray a 2 gunned sloop (I think) with a crew of around 10 men. Here she is under way alongside the Vif. This ship was built as a counterbalance to the imperial flagship, hence the same number of guns and the same sail plan. However, the design is quite different, without such a high stern. A shot into the gun deck. The setup of being able to fit two cannons each side but only 2 in total seems a little odd, did this happen on real ships? I hope you like my ship, I think it is the largest one I've completed so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garmadon Posted June 29, 2016 Very nice ship, Franco Clarke, her shape and sail-plan are excellent, and I really like the details - such as the lanterns, gunpowder cask, and figurehead - that you put in there as well! My main piece of advice would be to watch the colors a bit - here they seem to have just run away a bit! The white in particular looks a bit out of place, changing that for blue, yellow, or maybe black would have looked a lot more cohesive, or maybe just making the transition from those other colors a little more subtle. Regardless, this has turned out to be a very nice ship, however - keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
