[DIGITAL] North Star 3

[Olivesaxer]

Good morning folks,

Last night I completed the "widening" of the North Star ship posted earlier last week.  it was quite a task involving brick-building a number of sections of the hull.  I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

Some people were interested in details, so this is a very image-heavy post.

SWAB THE DECK!

Top deck with First Mate.

Lowest level with a small cell (also anchor chain storage),  guns, and some cargo space.

The anchors are designed to be raised and lowered from the top deck.

Mid deck with a small galley, some cargo, and of course more guns!

The lower level of the sterncastle.  I haven't furnished it yet, but I am thinking this is going to be a map room.

And finally, the captain's quarters.  Could add more here, but haven't really thought too hard about it yet.

Enjoy it!  Let me know if you have any questions.

This is quite impressive!

How much did you widen it?
And why did you feel the need to?

I widened it by 4 studs to create a reverse slope on the sides. Before they were just straight and it didn’t look quite right.

Makes sense!

 

As a matter of housekeeping, how about we merge all these North Star topics together?

Individually, they don't seem to be attracting a large enough response for a new topic for each update, but if we had a single Work In Progress topic covering the entire build, that would keep the build progress in one convenient place.
