Pirate Sloop

[Sebeus I]

[pid][/pid] 146B

My smallest prefab hull based ship, a square rigged sloop.

It's a bit minimalistic I admit. The technique I used for my polacca didn't work out on a ship this small so I build it the old way.

I used all of my red cannon hatches, 6 of them but there's only room for (small) cannons at 4 of them, the two in the back are "fakes".

The way I attached the rigging, sails and masts is... sloppy to say the least, yep definitely not my best point on ship-building .

More pictures in my Brickshelf folder (once public).

I was thinking of entering this ship in the Mocathalon (at mocpages) in the category 'Does it float ?', thing is, does it float ?

Anyway, there are some other mocs on the way as well.

Coming up in a few days.

Nice! I've never seen rigging done like that and the sails are quite nice

Nice little sloop! I agree, the masts are a tad, "sloppy", but nonetheless, the ship, overall, looks great. I also like your rigging technique.

Nice !But ship bottom wasn't pleasant to me .The mast looks shaky .

I've always like your rigging style, actually--it's very classic, which fits your ships' designs. Anyway, nice little sloop (though a tad chubby), and I'm looking forward to the upcoming bigger ship.

Thanks.

You mean the printed flag on the stern?

As usual, great work on the (very difficult to me) little ships!

[BrickPerfection]

A nice simplistic ship! The sails match quite well. Still I believe it is rather outdated concerning the building techniques used.
