Commodore T Spoon is sailing

[Captain Braunsfeld]

You remember Commodore T Spoon?

Introduced here:

https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/187046-introducing-commodore-spoon/

Guess what, he also has a ship!

... and is sailing away ...

... probably to Pontelli.

,,, and he is singing a song: "I am sailing, I am sailing..."

I always wanted to build a ship on the basis of one of those larger standard boat hulls - and here it is!

And don't ask about monkeys. They may be somewhere, but not yet.

Stay healthy and safe!

It is one of the best ships built from a rowboat.

Very well. Short and precise description. If someone wants to read a lot then he can buy a book.

Bedankt, meneer, Dat vindt ik heel leuk. 

(Thank you, Sir. I am happy about your comment)

Wat een schattig klein bootje! Ziet er leuk uit!

(What a cute little boat! Looks really nice!)

 

Never knew there were other Dutch people here! :P

Interesting small boat! I like the splash of colors at the back.

What's the boat hull from? Most rowboats are 4 studs across and this one is 6!

[Kai NRG]

Great job integrating the hull, I also love the curvy sail!  What will Commodore Spoon find to eat in Pontelli, I wonder?

I'm not Dutch, but I am learning the language in order to read Dutch comic books (and, ok, we love to go on vacation there). 

Bedankt!

I am happy that somebody asked 

The hull is from 7072: Captain Kragg's Pirate Boat - that short lived "large pirates"-series. The large hull was probably the best part.

Thanks. I think they still have that ice cream shop in Pontelli

You know I love ships on rowboat hulls (speaking of which, you should be seeing more of those soon(tm), I hope! ), but now I've got to get one of these ones too!  I like this so much - I'm very impressed by how fun (as always!) but also realistic you also somehow managed to somehow make it look!    Those brickbuilt sails work very well too, so very nice work all around!

Lekker bezig mannen tijd om de lingue franca hier te veroveren!

Free translation: The Dutch will once more rule the waves!

One of the best ships build from a prefab boat I've seen for quite some time! Can we see the stern in a photo or two? Have you elongated the hull somehow out of the back cut out hole of the prefab or does it really "end" right at the stern of your boat?

On another note, I've been itching to get such a "big" boat for myself for quite some time to experiment, but besides rarity, BL prices fluctuated for quite some time on its various colours (plus I've forgotten it by now). I believe "adventures" theme (in the jungle) also had one or two such prefabs.

You got lucky, I have another picture:

and yes: the ship is longer than the standard hull.

You can also see this on the third picture from the top, just slightly above the letter "C" there is a small gap between the hull and the extension.

 

Anyway this little boat is of course way over the top. But I liked the idea of including everything that a much larger ship would have 

Maybe I also should have added a gun deck!

Vasa style! Then roll aside and take a permanent bath?
