Capn Frank Posted March 11, 2015 172A It's a Longboat or Jolly Boat right now, but I'll be converting it into a Cutter when I get the chance. In other words, it'll get sails someday. I've made one of these before in white eons ago. There were only minor improvements in the hull and the rudder is completely remade. I like this design of this rudder much more. I've recently acquired the key bricks needed to make this vessel possible at a draft of the Forest Animals set last weekend during a WisLUG meeting. Enjoy!

James Wellington Posted March 11, 2015 Wow! Very impressive work. Now that's a troop transport. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleJohn Posted March 11, 2015 That looks incredible! I really like the rudder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolonialbeamter Posted March 11, 2015 Awesome design! And a proper size considering minifig scale, isn't it? Cannot wait for the version with sails. Maybe add a small cannon, which was quite common. Oh, I saw a MONKEY on one of the linked pages, that might raise some people's attention even more Brick on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 11, 2015 This is a very fine and inspiring creation. Nothing to add but perhaps a flagpost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary The Procrastinator Posted March 11, 2015 This design is fantastic, and extra kudos for keeping to true scale on the boat. Big Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capn Frank Posted March 12, 2015 Thank you all for the kind words. Awesome design! And a proper size considering minifig scale, isn't it? Cannot wait for the version with sails. Maybe add a small cannon, which was quite common. Oh, I saw a MONKEY on one of the linked pages, that might raise some people's attention even more Brick on! Thank you KB. This vessel's dimensions are based upon one of the USS Constitution's 30' cutters. I may have to add a cannon to it and have it be a gunboat. Thanks for the idea. That 'MONKEY' was actually an Ewok.

Capt Wolf Posted March 12, 2015 Great way to display your Bluecoats! Do you have a waterline version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matthias Posted March 12, 2015 I can only confirm the opinions of the others. Maybe add a storrage for the rifles and sabers for the troup. But there is maybe to less room for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capn Frank Posted March 13, 2015 Thank you for the additional complements. Do you have a waterline version? A waterline version would require a complete redesign. The entire boat is held together by upside-down technic bricks at the keel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
