The white dove pirate boat

[Count Vroskri]

Hi. This is my first ship. Quiet small.,buti like it. It has 2 32 pounder caronnades.

As a first ship, this is quite nice.

You have a lot going on here:

Hull, with a sideways “snot” idea as well as some twisted brick action going on.

Custom guns, to fit the size of your ship.

Brickbuilt mast, with sails and rigging.

Very cool indeed.

I agree, for a first ship this has a lot going for it.

Brickbuilt hulls are never easy to get "right", so this is a good start. The sails and rigging are well done, even though they look a bit "improvised" - which is the case more often than not for selfmade sails in my opinion. I assume the mast was done this way for stability reasons, but it looks odd compared to the rest of the boat.

My main suggestion for the future is about presentation in the forums though:

• you can embed pictures directly into the post by simply copy-pasting its image link in there
• you can then resize the image however you want, simply double-click on the picture and work it out in the pop-up window
• if your build is directly related to the BotBS game, its thread should be in the BotBS subforum

Looking forward to more models from you, keep going!

OK. But how do I post in the BOBTS subforum. Is there a tutorial?

You start a thread over there exactly the same way as you did here. No magic involved.
