WIP: Experimental Hull

[Capn Frank]

Cannons to be used, and may change in the future:

...

Have you checked out the Custom Cannons thread. There are some other ideas for ways to make MOC cannons.

And the figurehead:

That's an awesome figurehead!! *y* Very unique and kool looking. :)

Not bad, I like it. Although the mainmast is a bit too long, I suggest you should make it as long as the fore-mast... The overall look of the ship is very nice, a bit fat but that's okay...

I agree with Mr. Tiber; the main mast is too tall, though i'd keep the main mast a little taller than the foremast.

I see the influence of the Black Seas Barracuda on this vessel and components from the Viking long boat :)

Nice ship so far *y*.

Well yeah, this is my first expirimentation with three sails on one mast, so I totally agree.

I'd be tempted to make the mainmast slightly taller than the foremast. But kudos for building nicely tall masts - too often, I think, vessels are let down by what can only be considered 'stumpy' masts.

I think the foremast needs to be lowered slightly (maybe with the base one or two bricks set into the deck), so the ratlines can be properly anchored.

I am not a fan of the 4x4 brick construction at the base of the mainmast, it's just too square (I can't offer an easy solution, though).

And the ratlines on the main should not extend upward of the fighting top, that's just wrong - unless the crew regularly starches the rigging, I guess! ;-)

But enough criticism: You have a very nice looking vessel there, and, as others have said, that figurehead is pretty awesome.
