Garmadon Posted December 25, 2017 Little was known about the strange, quiet, mysterious fellow who had dropped in to the Port Wilks inn one day - but that little could be summarized in this: He always wore black, used a black sword, sailed a black ship, and wore his black hat at a bit of a tilt. To be sure, there was a little dark brown thrown in here and there, but that didn't always make it in to all the rumors and whispers about the fellow. (A shot of the ship's bow:) All that was know about his own and his vessel's past or future was that the ship was of Terraversan make, was christened the Midnight's Mist, and was impressively armed, and that he had dropped some hints of picking up a crew in Garvey's Freeport and of heading over to take part in the Corry expedition into the inland of Celestia after that. That he is a daring and well-armed pirate-hunter and explorer is accordingly the most popular rumor afloat in Port Wilks at the moment. To be short, all in all, he was quite the enigmatic stranger, and was as likely as not to keep the whispers and rumors going for quite some time - in fact, he really seemed to rather enjoy them... A small ship which got built quite unpremeditatedly, haha! I was busy working on a different scene of a sinking ship (also for BoBS, and I hope to actually build that one soon! ), and then got to liking the ship and tweaking it repeatedly until I got to liking it enough that I didn't feel like sinking it at all and it didn't really resemble the other one much anymore either, so here's the result - the Midnight's Mist: As usual, I couldn't resist the urge to get a little interior in there somewhere! A few other shots: Broadside: Stern: Thanks for viewing, C&C are welcome as always! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwatchi Posted December 25, 2017 It's funny how that happens with ship builds. You start working on something and before you know it, it has morphed into something grander. It is a lovely vessel of course with quite the jaunty captain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Thaum Posted December 25, 2017 Yes, a lovely little one... with good stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted December 26, 2017 Nice little ship Garmadon, I really like the flex tube over the stern! Great little interior too! Not a lot of room to turn around in though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Kwatchi - only problem is that I've no more of an idea about what's up with the Captain than anyone else 17 hours ago, Professor Thaum said: Yes, a lovely little one... with good stuff Thanks Prof! 12 hours ago, Kai NRG said: Nice little ship Garmadon, I really like the flex tube over the stern!

blackdeathgr Posted December 26, 2017 As always from you, a nice ship with fitting colors! Filed for future reference! Muhahaha! That mysterious guy is also intriguing and we would like you to elaborate at some time in the future if you find a good story or two Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted December 27, 2017 Very nice boat, Garmadon. Clever use of parts, the custom hull looks very convincing, the mast and rigging are very well done, it's not a big ship but it has a lot of great details, and I like how heavily armed she is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted December 27, 2017 I really like this ship! Quite the happy accident! Nice hull shape and sail plan. And the enigmatic stranger is shaping up to be a fun character. Looking forward to more about him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm planning on using him as my explorer for Challenge I here, so we should be seeing more of him pretty soon! On 12/27/2017 at 12:19 AM, Bodi said: Very nice boat, Garmadon.

I've been wanting a gun-heavy ship to licence for a while - now I just need someone to get into a feud with or something! This was my first go at almost entirely LEGO rigging (only the thinner string sewed onto the sails isn't LEGO), and the hull was definitely inspired by some of the other great designs on these seas (particularly some of Legostone's work).

As it happened I had just got a free ship space opened up, so this was pretty good timing! As to the captain - I hope to deliver! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 14, 2018 I have missed the Mist. Overall a fine ship with those custom sails etc. - and the bow section is nice. However, I am not so sure about the poop deck. It looks like you are transporting a safe... I understand that otherwise there is no space for a captain's cabin but is there "room" for a different solution?

I understand that otherwise there is no space for a captain's cabin but is there "room" for a different solution? Thanks Captain, glad you like it! Yep, I know - I really should have made the sides go up sooner to avoid that 'safe' sort of look (I think if I wanted a cabin that really would be the way to go)... but maybe doing a cabin on a ship this small is just always going to look a wee bit off There sure isn't a whole lot of room on this ship, anyways! But now that I think of it, a sort of open cabin in the back might have worked pretty well - hmm, I'll keep that in mind for next time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
