Builder 05 Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone! New member here! This is my first ship MOC and I am quite happy with the way it turned out. It's one-masted french sloop that can carry 10 cannons and 4 swivel guns. Lemme know what you think. Edited August 21, 2018 by Builder 05 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Becker Posted August 21, 2018 This is a great looking vessel, especially that cannon desing is very clever! For your first ship, this is looking like a promising start of a great looking fleet. Sincely yours: Captain Charles J. Becker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darnok Posted August 22, 2018 Nice ship, with some very good ideas! I needed a moment to understand what parts were used, but that cannon design is very clever! The overall shape of the sloop is well done, as is the custom rigging. I just bookmarked this thread for later study - I am sure I will copy some of your ideas.

Tezclatipoca Posted August 25, 2018 That's a nice vessel for a first one ! Plus it's a french one ! Good hull technique using the hinges (Myself, used it and like it ); the ship can have a good sleek aspect which is quite well done at this scale. And you've made a good rigging too ! Congrats ! Just a little remark : Try to make your pictures using a background; we just see too much your plank floor, which distracts the view on the subject. But otherwise, it's a really very good first ship ! Keep up the good job ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cousarmy0001 Posted August 26, 2018 I like it! Small, and decently detailed. I think Kurigan would be proud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roadmonkeytj Posted September 10, 2018 @Builder 05 I like this one. The colors are pleasing the shape is nice and the rigging looks right. The deck clutter and the "uniformed" sailors is a nice detail as well. How is that click joint on the spanker holding up to the stress of rigging? 10 hours ago, kurigan said: Indeed...

There is a lot of great details on this ship. The rigging is well done. What material did you use to make the sails? I recommend having the main mast 1 stud diameter instead of 2. Thank you for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
