virgilio_dias Posted March 27 Posted March 27 (edited) Embark on a time-traveling voyage to the Age of Discovery! Get ready to build a replica of an imposing 16th-century Portuguese Carrack. Known as "Naus", these vessels were the giants of the seas, responsible for connecting Europe to the Orient and the New World. What makes this model special is its military might! This Carrack can be equipped with 22 cannons strategically positioned: 10 on each side, plus 2 at the stern. Besides them, it also features 6 swivel guns. This model is packed with interactive elements for realistic play and display: - Functional rudder: At the stern, you'll find a fully functional rudder. A gear allows you to turn the rudder left and right, just like the contemporary mechanism used by the helmsman to steer the ship through treacherous waters. - Working capstan: On the main deck, build the wooden capstan. This rotating drum is fully functional! Turn it to simulate hoisting the heavy anchors, just as the sailors did with capstan bars. The uncharted seas await you! Note: rigging, sails, cannons and minifigures are not included in the project. Link: https://reb.li/m/254480 Edited March 27 by virgilio_dias Quote
Kalais Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Looks good but I think it would be nice to make some pictures with sails, flags, rigging and minifigures. Have you built it with real bricks? Quote
Murdoch17 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 What what little I can see, it looks cool @virgilio_dias. However, Eurobricks isn't meant to host photos - you'll have to upload them elsewhere (like Flickr or something) and link them into your post, rather than directly uploading them to EuroBricks. Just letting you know! Quote
