[MOC] Another small hulled (8-wide) boat: Privateer caravel

[Legostein]

Hello everybody,

this small-hulled boat comes with a classic brick-built hull in old brown with white and green spots, a color scheme that works nicely. There are angled doors for the cabin, and two of those fancy round window frames at rear. The sails are take in, for the simple reason, that there were no large dark tan cloth pieces available at the time. This little boat was built before the flood of new official sail ships by the LEGO group with sets like 10320 (dark tan sails), 10335 (tan sails), and 76440 (white). While I appreciate more cloth sails on the one hand, the challenge of finding appropriate cloth pieces that could be used as sails became a lot more boring. Anyway, you best use this boat docked at a harbour.

 

For those of you who think this color scheme looks familiar, yes you are right, there is a bigger cousin of this small boat:

 

All  the best, and see you around!

Your brick-build hull is a nice mimick of the old Imperial ship hull

Nice ship and the soccer minifigs are perfect as sailors!
