So I decided The Brick Bounty didn't satisfy me enough as a ship. So I took it apart and built a new one. At first I was going to see if I could keep some of The Brick Bounty and just improve it. But in the end I used quite few of the parts from the ship and instead picked parts from the rest of my collection. I also added one of the "end hull pieces" because the ship was too short and too low.

The ship is almost finished, only some details left. But there are things already that I would like to improve but don't know how. My brother is giving me too much criticism about the cabin sticking out too far over the hull piece (I would like to hear your opinion about this!). I am also not very satisfied with how the sails are attached. Those masts don't really seem to be made for the Brickbeard's Bounty sails (which I bought second hand).

You can probably see where I got the inspiration from! See if you can spot all the good updated Black Seas Barracuda details : D One detail I kept from TBB was the crow's nest.

I think Redbeard will be in command of the ship. I will see if I can get some vessels for captain Brickbeard and captain Neckbeard (the CMF captain xD).

A great improvement, that's for sure. An old school feel but with modern colours and parts. I like it. If I were to offer a wee bit of critique, I think the stern looks a bit missing. I like that you removed the cannon there, but perhaps replace it with something a bit more substantial? It looks a bit bare boned right now. But good job overall! pirate_satisfied.gif

Great work. I think that there are 2 Bricks missing where the cannon was. When you add them you don´t need a more substantial something there.

Thanks for your comments. Yeah, I have been searching for another one of those curved red bricks. I KNOW that I have four... but I can only find three. I am kind of running out of red ornamental bricks x)

Any suggestions for a better name? And suggestions for what to do with the stern? (Forecastle?)

Also... I think I might rebuild it some time and add the loose floor board from the Brick Bounty. I really like that feature and there is a lot of waste of space as it is now.
