Fishing/merchant ship The Lucky Peter

[anglezoo]

Since most of you seemed to enjoy my previous ship, here is another:

The Lucky Peter, which originally started life as an experiment, went on to be a merchant vessel, but ended up as a fishing boat since i had more crabs, shellfish, fish and nets than merchandise...True to my ways, she has no non lego elements, which has started to become a bit of a problem since lego string/rope is incredibly hard to come by in the quantities one needs to make rigging etc, so I may have to abandon this. She is based on the white bases with the annoying blue strip (what a nuicance), but that colour is similar to that found in many Mediterrannean ships. I have tried to make the bow as realistic as possible, with the stern though I just got a bit frustrated by the lack of pieces and just did what I could with what I had. I am quite miffed by the fact that most of us (including myself) build mighty frigates and ships-of the-line and pirate galleons but won't make anything for the larger ships to protect or attack...

It looks superb. I really like this one, although it is small, it fits well with being a fishing boat. Only thing i would try to do is maybe replace the treasure chests with normal crates, or maybe take the lids off and i think it will fit in better.

I might have to build something like this someday soon

Well done, this is quite the beautiful little ship, using one of my favorite hulls! Good work, and keep bricking

hey, i was just thinking and for some reason and idea for this boat came into my mind... if you want to get a little more floor space you should build some kind of rig to hols one of the crates in the air... like suspend it from a mast somehow, and posiibly use one of the cargo nest and there is two less crates of deck space right there

I like it, small but it still looks good. The colors work nicely.

[Brig. Brick]

you build very good ships

this sloop is looks very usefull, but I want to ask, where is the helm of this boat?

[Dreamweb]

I like this one a lot. The sails are very cleverly done. The barrels filled with goods are great! My only complaint is the lack of ship's wheel.

My other complaint, not concerning the MOC itself - you should REALLY resize those images! They're WAY too big!
