Barbatos Posted July 3 Hi pirates! Very recently I finished the project for another ship: the Scarlett Viper. This time we are talking about a cutter, a fast and stable ship used in the 1700s also by privateers for racing wars, as well as as smuggling boats or to communicate between fleets of larger ships. The cutter in question has a single mast, on which I will mount 2-3 jibs (triangular sails at the bow), 2 cages (square sails on the master) and a auric sail between boom and peak (the stern rods). She is armed with 8 light guns and 14 revolving muzzles. The deck is removable and inside there are 2 bunks for the crew and various containers. Not accessible (but visible) are the lieutenant's quarters and a couple of rooms used as a warehouse. Estimated size: Hull: Length 40cm x Width 12cm Cutter: Length 68cm x Width 25cm x Height 64cm 1400+ pieces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marooned Marin Posted July 3 As before, you have done great job on mast rigging with LEGO ropes. The ship looks great, and I'm curious to see what colour for sails you will choose. Do you have any particular in mind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No figurehead for this ship! I've never seen a cutter ship with it, so I go on with this rule! 😅 Unlike the other ships I've created, in this one I'd like to try to be true to reality. After all, this ship was born from a hull experiment I was doing. Initially I was creating a brig, which was supposed to be called Scarlett Lust because of his red curvy lady on the figurehead! 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supersick_ Posted July 31 (edited) Wow, I’m so excited to see realistic vessels from you. Keep it up! Also love the Lego rope shrouds - Very cool mate! Now… more!!! Edited July 31 by Supersick_ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what about the pirates? Errr... privateers? Have you got any ideas those? Or am I getting too far ahead of myself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barbatos Posted August 25 Yeah! I'm started building this cutter! Here's the building day 1. The bottom of the hull and some hammock for sailors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PxChris Posted August 25 That piece is absolutely perfect for a hammock! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Waagenaar Posted September 7 I have to admit, I just LOVE how much better it looks in bricks compared to digital! The colours are coming to their true right this way! And the added little details with the ropes etc! Looking forward to seeing her done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yperio_Bricks Posted October 5 The sails look so so good! So realistic. Love that kutter! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoertebricker Posted October 11 Wow, the Sails turn it into something realistic, could not imagine such a nice curve just from the renderings! I just think black rope would have fitted the black/red color scheme even better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
