CapOnBOBS Posted November 28, 2020 War between Corrington and Oleon has driven the Beauchamp Ship Yard to capacity. To meet the demands of the Crown, additional shifts are being added to keep construction underway around the clock. This has introduced a new capacity problem, a lack of skilled carpenters. Undaunted, Admiral Beauchamp had a solution in mind. The newly opened Carpenter's School in Eltina (Large Educational License) provides the skillset needed to fill in the ship yard's additional manpower requirements. Once again, the Admiral has called on one of his veteran's, Captain Marcel "The Little Warrior" Renoir. Beyond his short stature, the name comes from his firey temper. Just the man to oversee a program taking in sailors with dubious backgrounds (certainly not meant to imply piracy) and whip them into professional craftsmen. The curriculum begins with basic woodworking skills, either to be validated or taught depending on the student's aptitude. From their, students move upstairs for the classroom portion, to learn the technical art of ship design. Work crew chiefs from the ship yard rotate through instructor positions to keep their skills sharp and for a break from the stress of the pace in Breshaun. After a few weeks in the classroom, the students move downstairs for practical application. The war ship cross section is clearly the focal point of the facility and a great aid for teaching the lines of a good ship. As a final exam, students demonstrate their personal skills and ability to work on a team in constructing a launch. With success comes a position as a carpenter in the Beauchamp Ship Yard.

I was struggling with how to make this stand out as clearly a carpenter's school and not just a big building. In another forum somebody had posted an amazing cross section of a ship of the line, much taller,wider, and deeper (maybe a quarter of a ship complete with a story unfolding) but I'd thought the visual of the cross section was super cool.

NOD Posted November 30, 2020 Well done. You had a lot of good ideas about the interior details. I like the stories of the Beauchamp Family. I especially like the connection to some previous buildings. Everything fits together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LM71Blackbird Posted December 3, 2020 Very well done! From the classrooms, the workshop, and courtyard. So many cool details to look, just like the rest of your builds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khorne Posted December 5, 2020 Very nice digital build! I love the details all round, such as the book cases and the winding staircase leading to the first floor. The cross-section is a nice addition to mark this as a shipbuilding school. I also like that you've added all aspects of shipbuilding in this school, ranging from practical woodworking to learning the technical know-how of how a ship is built.
