Queen Catherine's Revenge

[Capitaine Aragon]

I have made a custom Lego pirate ship called the Queen Catherine's Revenge. Her captain is myself Capitaine Aragon! She is a two masted pirate ship and has six guns(stud shooters) on her. Her crew wield stud shooter pistols and have a stash of cutlasses and other swords below deck . Two identical small row boats are also housed below deck. The crew also dress like aristocratic carnies as Capitaine Aragon has a small fortune and controls two other small ships.

For the black sails  used construction paper(This is my first time making a medium large ship). I did not have any big canons so I decided to give the ship some defense with the stud shooters. The ship herself is named after Queen Catherine of Aragon and includes a figurehead of her with a silver crown and trident. The top deck can be removed to reveal the rowboats and sword stash. I will work on getting photographs uploaded soon. I added gold pieces on the vessel to show the captain's mild wealth. I was inspired with Barbossa's cabin aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge in Dead Men Tell No tales so, in my cabin there is stacks of gold coins, a shiny golden crown and a golden staff with a ruby on it. I have put a picture of Barbossa in his cabin to show what my inspiration was.

Welcome to Eurobricks. I would love to see images of the vessel.  You can use Flickr to upload photos for free.  In my experience, a picture would generate more discussion.

Thank you! I have made a Flikr account under Capitaine Aragon and I am posting the pictures there.

Please let me know what you think of the ship. Constructive criticism is welcomed. I also uploaded a picture of a smaller vessel I made called Isabella's Explorer. These photos are all on Flikr under Capitaine Aragon.

Cant find you there. Could you post a link?

Another thing that I've found to work, in my experience, is to make a Brickshelf Gallery account at www.brickshelf.com, Creating a new folder, uploading the pictures there, and posting the links to the pictures here. It generates a thumbnail, and routes back directly to your Brickshelf Gallery.

 

Also, welcome to the Pirate Side of the Forums, Matey!

Here is a picture of my captain's cabin. 

 

Here is a look below deck. There are two identical small row boats, and a barrel of swords.

The backside of the ship. You can see a bit of the sails. I am planning to change the sails. I had to use Technic bricks because I do not have any official mast pieces.

Here is a side view of the ship. Pardon the quality of the photo. Sadly I do not have any rigging pieces so I am going to find a substitute for that in the future.

For such a small vessel, Id say you did a great job capturing the look and the feel. One thing just bugs me a bit as a Lego purist, I can see some non-Lego parts used on the minifigs there. But shes a great vessel anyway! 

Fair winds and calm seas!

I decided to update my head piece as it looks more like me and I gave the old head to Stephan the cook.

Thank ye, she is small but tough. I myself am a Lego purist but, I thought that hat looked nice and fit the theme of my crew. I will post an updated pic of Catherine's Revenge once I finish the new sails. Once again, thank ye for the comment!

Sincerely, Capitaine Ethan Aragon, The Cordial Pirate

I like the blasters as cannons ... You've done a good job with the shape of the stern.  I liked the crew introduction.  The second face is more fitting of the captain.
