Tezclatipoca Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) The Lady Hawk To explore further to the Brick Seas, Felipe de la Manzana purchased a rapid Brig of War on the Elisabethtown Shipyards. In this new Era of Sailing and exploration a brand new -and well armed- vessel is welcome to protect Felipe's and MAESTRO's interests, in particular with its line of heavy carronades. The vessel is mainly designed to rapid recon missions and to escorts smaller merchant vessels. With this new ship, Felipe is hoping the old Raennette II will be well protected. Hi guys ! I am back with MRCAs in this new Era II to try out the new rules ! Adventures seem so attractive ! I cannot resist... Well, the Lady Hawk will not run on adventures, I will send The Brickwall Frigate instead. And I am keeping my old free Raenette ship in this new Era. I am keeping the Crowned Pigglet in dock this time, and will probably not license it for the moment. I hope it doesn't bother anyone and that my ships will have better luck than in Era I So the ship will be licensed as a class 3 Brig of War : Name Class Cost Stats Range Maneuver Firepower Crew Cargo Hull Total The Lady Hawk 3 200 15 3 3 4 2 0 3 15 If you look closely to the Lady Hawk, you'll notice it is a strongly Eslandolanised Armada Flagship. I made the rigging simplier than my previous ships, to stay on the old feeling vibe. I added some length and equiped it with a motor ! Yes ! A MOTOR ! I decided to mount this ship on old blue train tracks and to make it run around an island at BMA this year in Belgium ! The ship is here, ready to run, and functilonal ! On the other hand, the island is not totally ready. You'll see it when ready ! Hope you'll like it ! C&Cs are welcome !

Kai NRG Posted October 9, 2017 I like the bright colorscheme of this ship! Mounting it on tracks is also a very neat idea, I'm looking forward to seeing the result with the island - too bad I won't be able to see it in person! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the idea hit me, it was obvious I had to try it ! I've never saw a moving ship on conventions. I will try to add a video of the ship. Perhaps just the ship alone on tracks to begin. But, I am totally a noob in filming things and don't even know how to add it here in Eurobricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darnok Posted October 9, 2017 Nice one! When I first noticed the wheels, I was irritated, but then I read about your plans. I would love to see pictures from the finished build on the BMA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted October 9, 2017 I love the old Pirate feel of this ship. Of course, given its origins, that makes sense. But still, great MOD. and I love the name and figurehead. As for the train tracks, I was first intrigued, and then once I read what you plan to do with it, I love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted October 9, 2017 A classic Faladrin ship - love your colorscheme, I'm so going to have to try that some day! The sailplan and aftcastle are very tasteful as well, and very clever idea with those train tracks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice you like the concept on the ship on track idea ! Hope it's not out of the BOBs way of thinking. 26 minutes ago, Garmadon said: A classic Faladrin ship - love your colorscheme, I'm so going to have to try that some day!

The aft castle seems a little bulky in order to place correctly the battery and IR Receptor to make the Motor work. But I am happy how it turned. Thank you very much for the kind comments !

Mesabi Posted October 10, 2017 Nice Gunboat @Faladrin. And the wheels idea is great too. I saw the pic of your set up in your flickr, and the only thing I've got to say is you should make it a bigger set up. As for the ship, very nice detailing. The use of the the teeth turned out well.
