    [OL - CH2A] An Innovative Carriage

    The Sarge replied to The Sarge's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Thank you! This was my inspiration for the gun carriage. Extra wadding is used to keep the ball in the cannon, and the carriage stays pretty much in place as the gun recoil up the slot. Thanks, I was worried I'd built the background for naught, since it was so unfocused. I think next time I'll work on setting up the shot so it's all in focus.

    [OL - CH2B] Storming the Fort

    The Sarge replied to The Sarge's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Thank you! It's natural sunlight, but there weren't any clouds out to cut the harshness down, which I think made it a little bright.

    [OL - MarFB2] Catamaran "Swift" Class 1F

    Thank you everyone!

    Thanks Phred!

    I was having trouble with my touch screen and Swift's form got submitted as a Class 4 something. It should be a 1F, could someone fix that in the ship registry? Thanks.

    [OL - CH2B] Storming the Fort

    The Sarge replied to The Sarge's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Thanks! I had the opportunity to use some natural sunshine in a clear sky today for photos - very rare in March here! I'm glad it worked out ok, I was a little worried about the shadows. I'll see what I can do about an overview during my next photo session. Thanks! I had fun setting up the poses - the bowman with the nocked arrow has a little piece of flex tube inside his hand, slit along the face to grab the feathers. That took me a good 20 minutes to manipulate into place. And of course we didn't start it! Don't believe that other propaganda, we're not savages.

    [OL - MarFB2] Catamaran "Swift" Class 1F

    The Sarge replied to The Sarge's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Thank you both! I wanted to match the colors to KB's big merchant ships, as if they were all owned by the same company.

    A fitting fort for the Île de Zeus! The whole thing is great, but little spikes atop each cone are the best detail I think. Great photo setup too.

    Returning with profit - March MRCA result

    The Sarge replied to blackdeathgr's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    That's a sharp reminder of reality there! His next ship ought to be named the "Honeydew"... honey do this, honey do that...

    [OL - CH2B] The Diary of Derelin Magini

    The Sarge replied to Kolonialbeamter's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    I love it! The story is great, although that captain was very irresponsible - leaving then with only three days of freshwater before they'd found a place to replenish! The crows nest above the house reminds me of that old "Gunsmoke" episode - absolutely wonderful.

    Welcome aboard Sir Admiral Duke!
  13. The Sarge
    Very nice! With the amount of rock in that hole, he's going to need a pick soon - and hopefully a smelter not long after that!
  14. The Sarge
    Very nice! That's a mighty escort for sure. The only problem might be paying the upkeep!

    Very nice! Twins are always better... Just one question - what's in the lanterns!?

    Thank you! @Captain Genaro, those are Brickarms U-clips. You can see them in use on the mast as well.

    [OL - MarFB1] The Outrigger "Dove"

    The Sarge replied to The Sarge's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Thanks! Why are you worried? Ponytails were the standard haircut of soldiers and naval sailors at the time, and fairly common among the general populace for men as well!

    [OL - CH2A] Shields and Daggers

    The Sarge replied to Kolonialbeamter's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    That's an excellent application for that technique in the water! I've always seen it used for sandbags oe circular walls. Everything else is very nice as well.

    Absolutely beautiful! The tree stumps are a nice touch.

    The Sarge replied to The Sarge's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Thank you everyone! @Kolonialbeamter and @Bregir - I'll keep that in mind for my corvette. Do you think a coffee-stained cloth sail would look better?

    We have built a powder mill with an undershirt wheel to produce gunpowder here. Making it here will save a goodly amount on shipment costs, and hopefully will allow us to more easily protect the colonies that we have been blessed with. Honoré Sarrazin I wanted to try out Gideon's wall technique. I think I did ok, although I'm not altogether happy with it.
