Lord Buckethead Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) After several weeks at sea, the Jawed's Fortune finally docked in Arlinsport on her first voyage to the New World. She had been purchased by Lord Augustus Fernsby in Tazelft as a way to earn doubloons to fund his fledgling society. The crew hurriedly unloaded her cargo in an effort to make her seaworthy for next month. ___________________________________________________________ Thank you for viewing my first BOBS ship build. Sadly i can't really take any of the credit for it as it's from a YouTube video I found by 'MOC YOUR BRICKs'. I of course made some personal tweaks to her but nothing too major. She will be a class 7 trade ship starting in Arlinsport. I would like to eventually make sails for her, but at the moment I'm clueless as to how to make them.

LM71Blackbird Posted June 30, 2018 A good looking ship LB! Great work! I think I've seen that video and you've done a wonderful job on it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted July 1, 2018 Nice junk, I haven't seen the video but I guess you combined two Destiny Bountys together? For the sails, some of the ancient Chinese junks had sails made from bamboo mats, they looked quite rigid, so I think you may try to use plates to build sails.

Bregir Posted July 1, 2018 Great work on combining the "Bounties" LB. I like the different tiers of decks, and the life you have given the ship. For sails, I personally find baking paper somewhat fitting for Chinese sails, particularly if you add the characteristic "ribs" of a junk's sails. May she bring you great fortunes and good luck in the coming MRCA's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted July 1, 2018 A fine ship with a flavor! And don't worry, a man has to start somewhere as far as building ships is concerned. Practice does wonders as well as observation of the numerous MOCs of great builders both here in our community and outside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted July 1, 2018 Great looking vessel LB. I like how you have included all the little details on the deck such as the greenery. Those roller doors as shade clothes are a real stand out. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
