The disastrous consequences of tea-time

[Frank Brick Wright]

After a strenuous day of work on board of HMS Crash, the Admiral asked the time to one of his officers.

— 'Five o'clock, sir'.

— Very well, that means it is tea-time.

Tea-time! One of the few comforts on the high-sea, remembering us of the pleasures of civilization! The officers are invited to a small snack in the captain's cabin, and of course there is tea and croissants (croissants…)

But then, the ship's wheel is left alone and…

hum…

Buuuum!

HMS Crash crashes against a rock. Oh well…

A few time later:

But then the majority of those who escaped decide to leave the vessel, even without the Admiral's permission. Because HMS Crash is His Majesty's Property the old man decides to protect the ship until help comes. Bye deserters!

Some notes: first of all this was just something I put together rather quickly as I am waiting for my BL order to arrive in order to complete my frigate . Secondly I wanted to try both some rigging and minifig-customization before going to the real thing. The decal of the Admiral is Blackmoor's design Moreover the shrouds are glued — as in Perfectionist's ships. I think I am going to use black rope for my frigate as I prefer the overall look — I was undecided between rigging like in Nuestra Senora or NextGen but I think I prefer the latter.
