Barbatos Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited February 15, 2023 by Marooned Marin Blogged on the Classic-Pirates.com Quote
Marooned Marin Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 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? Quote

But what about a figurehead? 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! 😁 Quote
Supersick_ Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 (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, 2022 by Supersick_ Quote

Or am I getting too far ahead of myself? Quote

Barbatos Posted August 25, 2022 Author Posted August 25, 2022 Yeah! I'm started building this cutter! Here's the building day 1. The bottom of the hull and some hammock for sailors. Quote
PxChris Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 That piece is absolutely perfect for a hammock! Quote
Thomas Waagenaar Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 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! Quote

Yperio_Bricks Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 The sails look so so good! So realistic. Love that kutter! Quote
Stoertebricker Posted October 11, 2022 Posted October 11, 2022 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! Quote
