Just in time for the March trade convoy, I present the launching of the 5T Light Terraman La Contessa de Victoria.
The Contessa is a stern mistress, as the figurehead suggests.
The crew is busy on deck, although one deckhand takes a moment to gaze at the horizon from the foc's'l.
A chest still needs to be stowed away.
Sails are set and men are in the rigging.
La Contessa is ready to sail for a new port.
Some additional pictures from above:
----------------------
This was my first time using the string with handholds for rigging. I still have some kinks to work out with it, but I'm happy with this first attempt. I also focused on improving the gallery design I initially used on the Heart of Eslandia / Prince Fernando. Also, the decking is much better internally on this effort. Eventually I'll build one with an accessible and detailed captain's quarters.
As always, all C&C welcome.
