ACPin Posted September 28, 2013 SHIPtember entry at 125 studs length Built from the Yokosuka naval shipyard in the early part of the the 19th century and successor to the Katsuragi-class corvette, the Ashigaru was a combined wind & steam propelled warship whose bronze-steel hull protected its undersides and was manned by a small platoon of experienced battle-hardened samurai. The ship was designed for fast rapid deployment, reconnaisance, raid missions and was equipped with ten medium range cannons for main firepower. During bombing raids it used two depth charge ramps near the bow on both sides of the ship that can deliver explosive barrel charges as well as rock battery at the stern that can inflict severe damage to anything that's underneath it. Wing flyers are deployed for short recon around the ship and at random times to watch for enemies that might try a sneak attack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DraikNova Posted September 28, 2013 This is great. The SW Planets make great mini-airship capsules. Plus, you've managed to blend classical Ninja, Ninjago, Pharaoh's Quest and Steampunk perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACPin Posted October 22, 2013 Did not win any awards but was Honourable Mention in two categories. AC Best Design zachmoe's Octan Transporter. So many SHIPs had really fantastic designs, but Zach's was just damn brilliant! Honourable mention: AC Pin's Steam Punk Ashigaru1 Dover's Lost in Space bubble fighter2 Disco86's FB 21 - Freighter Class Botany Jason Corlett's Sucellus Legohaulic's AF-80 Cheyenne legodrome Long range patrol ship Most Unconvention SHIP Mark of Falworth's Doomsday. This was a late addition to our Awards - and it seems appropriate the only trophy not to be built by Si-MOCs. We felt that there were so really interesting SHIP shapes that people did, and it deserved it's own award, with no one as Unconventional as Mark's SHIP. Honourable Mentions: Jason Corlett's Sucellus Steve the Squid's HMS Xatrnam Legohaulic's AF-80 Cheyenne AC Pin's Steam Punk Ashigaru1 Dover's Lost in Space bubble fighter2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
