Bregir Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 After a promising start, quickly becoming one of the richest estates in Terra Nova, the Montoya Estate has recently fallen behind other business ventures. This is to some degree a result of Montoya's increasing focus and interest in science and diplomacy, made possible by the early profits. However, the manager, Ibn al'Sayeed has been doing his part to keep the estate relevant, amongst which, the purchase of a new class 6 armed trader. The Hotspur is a shiprigged merchant ship of 12 guns (12 pounders) well capable of protecting itself against privateers and pirates. Her keel was originally laid down as a frigate, but the order was cancelled and taken over by the Montoya Estate as a merchant ship. Just after launch, the new crew is exercising the great guns, preparing to set sail for Terra Nova. OOC: Back in challenge IV of era 1, I won a class 6 to be activated by microship - now I have finally gotten around to building it. C&C welcome - this was a fun scale to work at. Quote
LM71Blackbird Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Spectacular micro build Bregir! You totally nailed the shaping at this small scale. I am curious how she would look with some micro-size sails on her though... Quote

Great small ship I do feel like that there could be another spar at the top of the masts - the tops seem a little empty right now Quote
Bart Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Nice job on this scale Bregir. I'm too currious on how it would look with sails, maybe just paper ones to give it a try? Quote
Bregir Posted June 18, 2018 Author Posted June 18, 2018 Thank you, all - I actually really enjoyed this build and I could imagine using vessels at this scale to depict battles in the future. (I have on specific battle in mind...) 16 minutes ago, Bart said: I'm too currious on how it would look with sails, maybe just paper ones to give it a try? 36 minutes ago, LM71Blackbird said: would look with some micro-size sails on her though.. I did try some (paper) sails, but I could not, unfortunately, make them look good. It may have been the material or my work, but it did not work out. 22 minutes ago, Legostone said: I do feel like that there could be another spar at the top of the masts - the tops seem a little empty right now I agree wholeheartedly. But that was another thing I could not make work - couldn't find the pieces to get the right dimensions... Might warrant another try next I try my hand at microships. 23 minutes ago, Legostone said: OOC: PM me once licensed, I remember that these are also upkeep free and I need to manually enter that. It is licensed now - do I still need to PM you? Quote
