Elephant Knight Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I don't build boats often for the Governors, or Blue Coats if you prefer, but I do on occasion. I actually built this last year, but only just got around to taking photos. Midway Midway Midway Midway It may be one of my best builds yet, it certainly feels like it to me. I am annoyed at that fact, because it is a governor ship. They are easily the third, maybe the fourth favorite faction of mine. Imperials and Pirates being the top two (Not necessarily in that order) and the Governors and Armada vie for third place. Tell me what you think!

Cousarmy0001 Posted September 7, 2021 That's really nice! Nothing too complex, just a simple, elegant build. I think you made your best build for the bluecoats because deep down in your subconscious, you know they're the best faction :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about the Caribbean Island nations... or Asia... or even South Africa. Hmmm... on retrospect, I didn't think that comment through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feuer Zug Posted September 8, 2021 Nicely done. I like how you created the hull shaping by offsetting the hull design by a plate at a time. What's the significance of the wizard hat for the bowsprit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way hull is constructed gives the vessel some character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wellesley Posted September 13, 2021 I love this build. Very nostalgic. You really catched the spirit of the old Lego Pirate series and enhanced it. The ropes add much to the overall appearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PxChris Posted September 13, 2021 Anything Bluecoats related always gets my interest. This is a lovely ship with some great shaping and coloring! Interesting way to close up the ports on the hull pieces, I don't believe I've seen that done before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmynick Posted September 21, 2021 It looks fabulous — no idea how realistic it is but the colour scheme looks nice and fanciful. I especially like the integration of the blue and yellow in the structure and windows of the aftercastle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickander Brickumnus Posted October 29, 2021 Very Nice! I believe adding a second sail to the aft mast, will make the ship look even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
