Wellesley Posted March 24, 2019 What could it be, that keeps the Sea Rats so diligently rowing? Seems like a huge swimming platforms. What could be its purpose? Well, it surely is a crane. Are they going to search for sunken treasures? Looks like they found their destination, now going to support the construction with its four anchors. Another ship approaches. Well, now it is pretty clear. They came all the way out here to do some trading. Without regulations or restrictions, you know how in some harbours more delicate "stuff" or weaponry is rather undesired by the authorities. An Eslandolan fisherman looks by, selling some of his catch. The whole day cargo is traded, loaded and unloaded. Later some natives come around. The chief seems to be quite interested in some of the new firearms. __________ The crane was inspired by @Fraunces Native market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fraunces Posted March 25, 2019 You made an excellent version of your own! The Crane looks very realistic. The entire idea suits our great faction very well!! Very piratey and innovative Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wellesley Posted March 25, 2019 Thanks! I'm sure, instead of using this brick one could get a better design with different towball parts. Right now it is a little bit chunky, that is why I built the middle log (which is okay anyways). @Roadmonkeytj Here you go: I've never watched Waterworld, but now searched for some images and yes, there is a huge resemblance.
