[COR Micro class 5] HMS Thunder

[Bregir]

In a time of war, the oaken shield of Corrington is ever looking to bolster its ranks, and every able shipyard is called upon to aid.

One such shipyard is located in Arlinsport, and while not large enough to produce ships-of-the-line, it is adept in building the sloops and frigates that are the eyes, the ears, and often the fist of the colonial navy.

Recently, the HMS Thunder has been launched from its slipways, and is now ready for her Majesty's service.

Named for its armament of heavy, short ranged 32 pounder carronades, it is a light 20 gun frigate. Lightly built, fast and nimble, and very deadly at close range, it is an excellent pirate hunter.

Very detailed rigging for its size, and the shape is good too, instantly recognizable as a frigate, I also like the mini-wheel and capstan. Although I wonder if it's a good idea to have that sagging in the middle, a straight yellow stripe may look better for this scale.

The multi-part masts look great! Wonderful shape. I agree with @Bodi that maybe at this scale the single plate thickness drop/sag in the middle might be unrealistic, but it does look cool!

A very good example of the masts and rigging. Especially with the rigging we can see how a good result can be achieved with relatively few ropes.

This is a very beautiful micro ship. Sometimes they are unweildy, but this looks like a shrunk full size frigate. Very nice. 

[Professor Thaum]

Nice one, with some good ideas. Those mast are great.

Is the bow made with custom brand parts ? Seems very unusual.

Gun ports : ( headlight modified bricks ? )
