[MOC] 1700 full hull Schooner-Brig "Newburyport"

[ProvenceTristram]

The schooner-brig is actually a modern take on a "traditional" sail plan, which can be seen on ships such as the Hawaiian Chieftain (which is, itself, a steel-hulled vessel with an extremely shallow draft triple-keel bottom). However, I really like how they look, and decided to loosely base something on the Chieftain, albeit set right around 1700. Note also that this ship doesn't use a stock hull - I elected (much to my [eventual] satisfaction [and initial frustration/doubts]) to build this vessel mostly out of traditional bricks, which I think resulted in a very sleek and trim design.

Prototype (sorta):

And here is a potential alternate color scheme. Unfortunately, the 13731 long slope doesn't exist in reddish brown (or any brown), so there's no way to do the lower hull in the original paint.

I think the hull is clever on this one! Well done and I actually like the blue.

I like how you didn’t use a prefab Hull.  The shape looks good.

Nice work.
