[MOC] L'Aurelié, 44-gun heavy frigate.
I would like to present my first ship, out of what will hopefully end up as a fleet of many more!
Her name is L'Aurelié, she's a 44-gun heavy frigate. On her lower-deck she carries 28x 24 pounder long guns. On her upper deck she carries 16x 18 pounder long guns, interchangable for carronades! (Not yet designed).
Of these cannons, 2 of them are in bow chase and another 2 in aft chase configuration.
Overall she is about 110 centimeters long with bowsprit included. On the waterline she is about 80 centimeters long. At her tallest point she is 72 centimeters tall.
Thematically I went with the flags and ensign of the Russian navy in the 18th century, as I just thought these flags looked cool and fit the colours of the ship quite well!
The printed flags on top of the masts I got from Brickprint in the Netherlands, the large flag at the rear is just a small table flag I took apart with only the flag part remaining.
Sadly, she has no sails and will not get them either, as due to the place she is displayed is right below my AC-unit, meaning that whenever it's blowing air it would essentially mess
up or even rip off the sails in the worst case scenario... As such, I have decided to not do sails on her. (Which fits my "agenda" anyways as I don't have proper sewing capabilities to make
actually nice looking sails anyways)
I hope you guys enjoy her! She'll be sailing around the Brick Seas too over at the BoBS page, for her story, please click this link!

For some more pictures, please see the album below, if anyone wants more close-ups or anything, let me know and I'll happily take some more!
I'm aware some pictures are quite dark, the lighting is sadly never really good here in my apartment... :( It's either full sun so the glare is way too extreme, or too little sun, resulting in some darker images...
