Fires-storm Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) The U.S.S Flame Rat is actually, believe it or not, my flag ship as my captain prefers her to any other ship in the fleet, due to her tactics and outfitting. She has 5 "guns" but four of those are actually flame throwers, mounted on rails so that they can move along the sides of the ship, and one main cannon below decks. the captains cabin is underneath the steering section of the ship, but is not shown yet because this ship is still a slight work in progress. I haven't even gotten the fourth flame thrower built...blasted hard to find technic pin. Well, here are the pics, and I hope you enjoy! We'll start off at the bow of the ship: A closer shot And some of the starboard side A closer shot One of the stern And one of the crew, from left to right the lookout, the captain, and the flame expert/gunner. And finally, one of my new captain. The name is Joseph Seahawk, but I prefer the nick name my crew has given me, Fire Storm. Thats my new flagship in a nutshell, I hope you all enjoy it!

Skulls_Eye_Schooner_Sailor Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 A simple, but nice design. You have some pretty cool figures there, as well. It is a shame we never got any middle gray hull sections though, eh? Or black ones for that matter.. How do they keep from setting their ship on fire, though? Quote
Fires-storm Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 Yeah, that was the one thing I wanted that original pirate didn't give me, the gray/black hull middles and secretly, that black ain't paint honestly though, they coated the top deck in fire retardant to make sure it doesn't catch on fire, thats the black, and then the bottom is coated in a small sheet of iron so it doesn't go up from the trail of the throwers, thats why its gray. (not really, I just made up a story to explain the colors and it happens to work really well for a flame ship) glad you enjoyed it! and thanks for the mini fig compliments Quote
Skulls_Eye_Schooner_Sailor Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 You're welcome. I just now noticed you were the same one who commented on my ship. Nice story! Hahaha. Quote
Fires-storm Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 Yeah, I liked your idea for how to build up on that ship, and your right, the imperial flagship does make a particularly good base And yeah whenever people question something about my MOCs I have to get amazingly inventive Quote
