The Red Dragon

[Capitaine Aragon]

Here it is, The Red Dragon, a decently sized two masted vessel. The colors I chose were red and grey and a tad bit of brown. She currently has no canons and has a weapon stash and room below deck. I like how the cabin turned out and decided to put the food bowl in this cabin instead of the Swan Skank. The captain's cabin also has a treasure map. The ship has a bit of a fixer-upper look to it to show it has seen better days.The bow of the ship has a red serpent mast head(brick built) that I may touch up in the future. The main deck also has a small grid that leads down to the bottom deck. Currently she has no captain and two crew mates. The vessel is longer than the Swan Skank but shorter than Queen Catherine's Revenge.

Overall, I like how the ship came out and think it is a major improvement over the sloop ship I had. One thing I forgot to show up close was the red dragon shield on the side of the bow( has the same dragon pic as the chest plate  on the crewman above.) I also plan to add canons to it in the future as it can hold four canons below deck. I also plan to add some covering to the canon ports until I can get some canons. I also used my crow's nest piece on this ship as I neglected to put it on the Swan Skank. Tell me what you think of the Red Dragon and I always welcome constructive criticism. 

Here are some modifications to the Red Dragon:

I built the poop deck and the back up a bit more and took away the brown railing and put red railing on instead. There are also three lights as well.

I also slightly modified the serpent mast head by adding a transparent yellow slope to represent the eye or eyes of the serpent.

Not a bad first ship, if I may say so.  I particularly like the figurehead, as I have a hard time coming up with a unique one for each of my ships.  The overall build is quite basic, but you've gone through the trouble of including several more advanced details, such as the aforementioned figurehead, food in the cabin, and lower deck access points.

You're off to a good start, and I'd like to encourage you to stick with it, and improve your skills.  You've got a great foundation in this ship, and you should work to fine tune it, removing some of the jagged edges, adding features (like cannons, if this ship is meant to have them), and improving your rigging, if you have the time and finances to do so.  We all started somewhere, and I can say with certainty that my first MOC didn't look anywhere near this good.  Keep it up!

Thanks! I had fun constructing The Red Dragon and plan to add to it in the future. Check out my other two ships, The Swan Skank and Queen Catherine's Revenge.
