[SR - FB1] The Dusk (Gargoyle sistershiped)

Recommended Posts

After days on my raft, sucking Aglae's sap to survive... I finally arrived on a island called Nest of Thieves.

 

Most to say, it was not the most civilized one. But the people here were of good comapny, and it definitely was the place to settle has a doctor...

There's always someone in need for your skills, and furthermore I finally had time to raise an apprentice.

After some years I salted away a pretty good nest egg, enough to offer me a pretty nice ship (class 2 F cutter), actually docked at Bastion.

 

 

Let me introduce yourself : the Gargoyle

 

t74n.png

hull length : 15 m

full length : 20 m

master beam : 3m

register tonnage : 30

Only light weaponry : 2 guns on the bow and 2 carronades near the stern.

Spoiler

RP OFF : this ship is LDD made, the topic with a nice photo of the brickbuilt Gargoyle will be updated as soon as the ordered parts will arrive.

no sails with LDD, the red parts are to figure the points where the sails will fit to the masts

TECHNICAL DETAIL : a carronade is a little cannon, less powerfull, without kick, able to rotate on its carriage

Wow, amazing job for your first vessel on BoBs! Great shapes and nice details :)

As I said elsewhere, very neat little ship here!  The curves on the front are very well done, and the hatches, guns, and lanterns are great touches as well! :thumbup:  Looking forward to seeing her in the brick! :pir-sweet:

This is a well design ship with good proportions. :thumbup: Small to medium sized vessels are always a nice sight. Keep up the good work!

That is a lovely ship and a great first offering for BoBS.    The deck guns at the rear caught my eye as a bit of creativity (yellow fuse line?) and the cargo hatches were a nice counter point colour in my eyes.

Coming off a flu, so my lightheaded brain took a second to realize you had a furled jib rather than a sprit sail at the front. Though the latter would be fun if you wanted turn really fast I guess. :laugh:

As I said elsewhere, this is an amazing start to your shipowning career in BoBS. I am quite impressed with what appears to be a brickbuilt hull, and the rigging is looking pretty nice too, although I think your mast should be taller. Your railings are nice, and details such as the ladder, the capstan, the armament and hatches really add to her. Well done - will be looking forward to seeing her in the brick. :)

small update, these are the new ship characteristic according to the new rules :

 

THE GARGOYLE  - classe 2 ship (cutter)

R    M    G    C    $    H

3     6     0     0    2    1

 

Fast, swift and maneuverable with some cargo space, the Gargoyle is not a war ship and is not willing to withstand a tussle.

Great first BoBS ship! I was going to say great little ship, but it really isn't that little. It looks very playable, too.

And that rigging is looking great! Very nice all-around!  :thumbup:

Cutter with complete rigging, a 3 hours fight with a tiny rope, cissors, technical pins and fat hands

And except the sails, the ship needs only a few greeblings to be finished.

 

The sails ASAP, all the calculations with Al Kashi theorem are over.

Great cutter! I can see it has a lot of details and the rigging adds even more to the realism.

C&C welcome, other pics on demand, the Gagoyle is not likely to be destroyed for pieces (too many time for rigging and sails)

She has turned out real well, Professor. Many great details, like the anchor winch, the swivel guns and the figure head, and a good looking rigging. I wish her all the best in the MRCA's to come! :D

I would say that she is a class 3, being too large for a class 2.

For c&C I would suggest you take a picture from further away where you zoom in - first, it allows you to get it all in one picture, and second it makes the perspective look more natural and the pictures thus more pleasing to watch. I typically take all my pictures from a distance zoomed all the way in on the standard lens on my camera.

As I've already said, great custom hull, the shape is excellent, the fully tilted deck and even the hold is tilted, I like the lamp on the mast, there's a lot of fine details on your ship. Good job, doctor.

I'm very pleased with the real bricks rendering... however, the drift seems very frail
.. I have to change it

Thanks, all my MOCs are 8-years-old-boy-proof (except for the drift) all the ship is playable, and my son  has already tested it. The bowsprit pull itself out when crashing against a wall.   :grin:

thanks for all the kind words... It makes me willing to built some other ships (I have parts for 3 more, and they will be a little bit bigger than this one)

Thanks, the figurehead was the piece which started this ship. I was seeking what to do with this kind of minifig... and I think this is a good use !

I don't know if it is too big for a class2, but I will check for the correct size.

I'm not a very good photographer, but I will try your suggestion for the next time.
