Capt Wolf Posted February 23, 2018 Here's my latest effort at a ship using gray hull pieces, the Esmerelda: She's a small armed merchant, capable of fighting off small attackers, as this crewman is ready to do: The Esmerelda is small enough to navigate shallow waters, but as you can see by her rounded shape, can still carry a fair-sized cargo. With a small crew, Captain Enrique Marino handles the helm himself: But rumor has it that Capt. Marino and the crew of the Esmerelda have been tapped for a special mission. Stay tuned for more... --- More fun playing with gray hull pieces. I was going to name it something along the lines of Emerald Fog or some such to play off the green and gray color scheme, but Emerald morphed into Esmerelda and I liked that better. All C&C welcome.

LM71Blackbird Posted February 23, 2018 I'm liking your grey, green and black color schemed ships! They have a really nice look to them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roadmonkeytj Posted February 23, 2018 Quite striking deck there ... Im surely borrowing some of your design elements in the future I know Ive asked about your sails before ... But I thought of another the paper you use ... Lol I used some of my sketch book and like the stiffness on my last one but yours appears to be "aged" with a slight brown/yellow hue is that just a camera trick or?

Garmadon Posted February 23, 2018 Another very nice little ship, Capt Wolf, keep 'em coming! This colorscheme really works remarkably well, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you mean to do with her! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted February 23, 2018 This is a really neat little ship - like all yours, looks like it'd be a lot of fun to play with! Great job with the green and black diagonal on the stern! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry I didn't show off the deck very well in the photos. As for the sails, no camera tricks are involved; the paper is that color. 2 hours ago, Garmadon said: Another very nice little ship, Capt Wolf, keep 'em coming!

As for what's next, you'll find out soon. <cough> A-MRCA <cough> 2 hours ago, Kai NRG said: This is a really neat little ship - like all yours, looks like it'd be a lot of fun to play with! Great job with the green and black diagonal on the stern! Thanks. I like to make my smaller ships playable. That is the essence of LEGO, isn't it? And thanks for noticing that diagonal stripe. (I didn't realize I had featured it so prominently in the captain's close-up.) I think it is one of the things that makes these smaller ships look good, bringing the color stripe through the hull with a bit of a curve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I as well noticed the color but didn't realise the "curve" was intentional ... Just figured it didn't look right without a bit of color there lol ... And you should really get that cough checked out before heading out on any long arduous trips lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted February 24, 2018 A good looking ship boat cutter sloop? I like the black and green stripe, and I like the brass spyglasses used as swivel guns, nice job captain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
