[GoC] Class VII 38 Gun Frigate HMS Argonaut (Update: Now under sail)

Commander of the Royal Terra Novan Fleet

Wullham became quite busy. The city flourishes and there clearly is no shortage of work. But on the other hand we struggle under a shortage of supplies, an unfortunate moment, as a new ship, the 38 Gun frigate Argonaut, just launched, now sitting in the harbour with only the standing rigging complete. The situation would benefit from the admiralty taking up an official position about the importance of Wullham and its trading value. I hope to solve the issue as soon as possible.

Your humble servant,
Jorin Farrensman
Shipwright of Wullham

 

So now I need the help of other Corrington members. To make it an offical GoC entry, I need you to post additional tasks to get the ship being able to participate in the game.
For example I thought about some scenes like preparing the yards/chopping some trees, making the sails, recruiting the crew, collecting the food rations and other supplies. Or whatever you can come up with.
So once 4 tasks are done, I will add the frigate to the GoC thread. It would be nice, if you post them here as well, of course you can license them.

This idea was somewhat agreed upon by @Bregir, if anything won't work, I will change or delete it.

After long periods of monotonous work and long breaks, I finally completed the 'HMS Argonaut'.

May she serve our Queen well!

A stunning build, Wellesley!! The sail and rigging are amazing to take in, masterful work! I cannot imagine the tedious hours you've spent to get her to this incredible point.

[Wellesley]

Thanks for the badge @Professor Thaum

And thanks @evancelt and @Spud The Viking

Yes, it took several days of dedication. But sometimes I get into some kind of meditative state, then it becomes a bit easier to make all the knots.

How you can reach a state in which you can make full of knots.

She's a beaut.

Thanks all!

@Professor Thaum I would, but I don't know how. Maybe OCD and the ritualisation of certain movements helped:D

[Professor Thaum]

OCD ? Is that a drug ?

Just wonderful…in every way. Stunning rigging. Looks like endless hours blood and tears. 😄

The figurehead is also great.

Magnificent vessel. The whole thing looks great but the rigging is incredible. And those first couple of photos are really well presented. Excellent work.

Some kind of flow state perhaps?
