[SR-MCRA] Pirates have gone too far

[Roadmonkeytj]

Gustaf read the KPA to see how his ships cargo traded when they reached Fatu Hiva.  However it had not been good news.  Gustaf was furious but his status as Governor allowed him certain liberties.  Wanted posters were drawn up and a bounty for the return of Rahabs Gambit along with a second poster drawn up for the Capture and delivery of the Pirate known as "The Dragon".  Good news had come later that day though … Odin's Scorn had been stranded in Jameston on the far side of the Island a month ago and had been repairing its damaged rigging.  He immediately departed for Jameston.

Upon his arrival Gustaf went straight away to the ropeworks as where else would you obtain new rigging for a ship the size of Odin's Scorn.

Gustaf asked around and was happy to find the owner knew him well and was not sympathetic to Pirates.

The owner explained that he would have never sold them anything had he known they were pirates - however he said they were not dressed as any Pirate he had never seen - they acted like regular sailors and had a certain air of military training behind them. 

He remembered the day well as it was the last time the shepherds had brought the goats through town to trade their goods.  He knew exactly what they had purchased as he read the log to Gustaf - it was enough rigging for the foremast and also enough rope to re-hoist a lanteen sail.  Gustaf knew from his time at sea the ship had only sailed a mere two days ago based on a repair of that size.  He asked if he recalled the captains appearance - to which the owner obliged a description - an older captain with patch over his eye but dressed as a gentleman would not that of a normal pirate.  

Gustaf knew immediately who it was … Wardel

Gustaf knew right where to find his ship . . . and a few days later he was returning with Captain Mason Wardel in chains to be tried for Piracy and he now had his war ship back so the hunt for the Dragon could begin.

Nice rope factory and well told story...

The office and the stairs are the highlight... you are going to licence it ? Perhaps for the FTA ?

 

 

 

The lantern atnre great too

Nice build, it looks huge, I like the details included in it, such as the staircase and the shrouds, the ship's section looks good too.

Good factory, very convincing.

Nice build with clearly much effort put while creating it. I also liked the innovative story behind reclaiming a lost in a MRCA ship

Thank you ... I do plan to licence it ... The office began while working on another project ... The stairs is the same trick I've used before copy paste rotate repeat lol step by step until you reach the desired height ... Then rotate into place.

It is ... If I recall is just over 2w x 6l 32x32 baseplates but all custom plate so sections can be removed for better angles.  The shrouds were a last minute change ... Lol the picture of the historic rope walk I was working off just had the twisting machines across the yard and had an elevated office at the back .

I hope to continue the story with the hunt of the npc pirate the Dragon ... But the powers that be say he is one of the hardest to hunt so should make for good stories!
