Capt Wolf Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 The captain walked the gun deck, checking on the progress of the crew. Cannons were still be lowered from the weather deck and positioned. "Make sure all carriages are properly secured," he reminded them. "And properly equipped! Shells and water buckets should be in place." The deck bustled with activity as the cramped confines of the ship-of-the-line's gun deck filled. La Comete III, sistership to La Comete, and Deuxieme Comete after that, would be ready to sail this month. --- A small build for the purpose of sistershipping La Comete again. Here's a look at the full build: Spoiler All C&C welcome. Quote
Kai NRG Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Very neat job on this, love the subtle curve of the wall! The rafter pieces complement that very well too. Quote
Captain Dee Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Nice interior presentation, and creative way to complete the required build. I love the gleam on those cannonballs; it's a pity those pieces aren't small enough to actually fit into the cannons. On the subject of lighting, I would've swapped the position of the captain and the sailor he's talking to, just to get him out of that shadow where we could see him better! Quote
Professor Thaum Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Yes, very nice, now we want a full ship wraped around Quote
Bodi Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 The gentle curve of the hull looks good, this kind of unconventional technique works well here. Quote
Keymonus Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 My I suggest you to change the ship name if (hopefully never) you’ll need a Comete IV? It doesn’t seem to be the luckiest name for your ships! By the way, nice little build, it definitely has the feel of an intermediate deck! Quote

Yes, those would be great pieces for firing cannons if they fit! I played around with a lot of different fig-placement options. Switching those two makes sense, and I never thought of it. The cramped quarters of the build made photography difficult. On 1/21/2020 at 1:35 AM, Professor Thaum said: Yes, very nice, now we want a full ship wraped around That will be some task!

I really like the effect for the hull in these cross-section type builds. 6 hours ago, Keymonus said: My I suggest you to change the ship name if (hopefully never) you’ll need a Comete IV?

I definitely was going for that cramped feeling of being below deck. As for the name, if there's a next time, perhaps El Cometa. Quote
