Bodi Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 The Duke of Boussac was going to leave the Palais de Breschaun, when he heard a call from behind. "Monsieur le Duc, wait a minute, if you please." It was Duke's treasurer, the man continued:"My sire, did you see the latest report?" Boussac fixed the man in his eyes and replied:"You mean the financial report, not yet." The treasurer wasn't prepared to that answer apparently, he became silent for a moment, then he said:"If you've read it, you'll know that we are now overstreched, we have to cut our expenses, and if I dare to suggest, we could recall some our troops deployed abroad." As expected, Duke's reply was categorical:"Monsieur le treasurer, I have to remind you to focus on your field of expertise. And speaking of troop deployment, I was going to send reinforcement to Charlatan Bay, do we have enough funds to cover the expedition?" The poor man turned pale, took a deep breath, and said:"My sire, I think I have a solution that can satisfy both of us, you see, our pirate hunting fleet has captured a pirate ship, do you want me to ask some of our men to sail that ship to Charlatan Bay?" Boussac replied promptly, "Very well, you may leave now", seemingly content to be able to get ride of his treasurer. The Prio Sea Baleine, sailing to Charlatan Bay to provide artillery support, while the fort was under repair. Vive le Roi! Quote
Ross Fisher Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 A tweak on the new Barracuda? It looks pretty clever. Quote

What catched immediately my attention when I first saw the pics of the new BSB Bay, was that stern, TLG used a new technique here, I tried to work out a copy of it by basing on the photos, that's what I've been able to come up with: Then I got the set last week, and I was happy to see I guessed right, more or less.

Ross Fisher Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 @Bodi I thought it looked very similar, but too many of the colours were different for it to be a straight conversion. Quote
blackdeathgr Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Build your own version of neo-BSB?? Challenge accepted my friend! The new-BSB trading version of mine will hopefully sail away next month. Edited April 10, 2020 by blackdeathgr Quote

Fraunces Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Very nice adaptaion ! I got the set too and you did the stern relatively well! Just the sails, I never really liked those childish ones Quote
