[WIP] Bluecoat sloop WIP

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'd like to show you my latest WIP. As a vessel for my bluecoat faction and being of comparable size (two masts, single deck) I consider it to be an hommage to the Caribbean Clipper. It is a snow (because of the third mast directly behind the main mast for the spanker) and in military classification it would be considered as a sloop. The hull is custom build and I tried to incorporate al the typical curvatures in all three dimensions of a ship.
As usual, i haven't found the time yet to create custom sails (definitely not a task I am comfortable with): I am also not sure, if the spars are wide enough for the square sails, also I am considering to add studding sails to the main- and the topsail. The interior, accesable through a hatch to lift up the rear part of the continous single deck, is still WIP as well. For armorment I'm considering carronades, I already tried to come up with a small fitting build.
I used the HMS Onterio as a historical reference.

This is awesome! Nice historical reference of HMS Ontario - I love the hull solutions, the stern tapering works very well. She looks very accurate and I also really like the beakhead.

Great MOC, I can't wait to see it progress.

Agreed - the stern tapering is amazing.
