CelesAurivern Posted April 6, 2016 Oy, nice starter ship there! It would look a tad better if you stuck some sails on her :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy MacFuzz Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Welcome to the Brick Seas Berninhr! This all looks fine to me. The use of the sheet for the sea is effective, especially in the last picture. Nice close up shots of this small but perfectly formed addition to Corrington's mighty fleet. Don't forget to licence her if you want. Onward to glory!

kaiju Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) That looks like a very well built little ship. You probably want to go post it in the monthly freebuild thread. Looks like you already did. Edited April 6, 2016 by kaiju Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SilentWolf Posted April 6, 2016 Very nice little ship. Welcome to BOBS! I look forward to seeing more of your builds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickOn Posted April 6, 2016 Looks great to me, especially the colour scheme :-) I agree about the sail, but then she wouldn't look so clean a build, so either way. I'm never that sure about licensing, Bregir would probably have a better idea than me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostone Posted April 6, 2016 Nice small boat - besides the sail and a steering lever (a wheel wouldn't be fitting on a boat this small) it looks very complete! I think it should be able to qualify as a class 1WR. As well as that, welcome to BOBS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bregir Posted April 9, 2016 I too like this little vessel, and the colourscheme is great, and especially fitting for Corrington! Both fore- and aft-castle has just the right height to give her a gentle curvature of the hull, and details like the lanterns, the railings and the brick built gun are really nice. The use of that blue-ish sheet and those white bricks is actually very effective! As to class, I too would say class 1WR, or possibly 1F if she is mainly meant for patrols and light supplies. I would also suggest you give rigging a try, and for this one, I would suggest a cutter rig. See for instance here. Personally, I have been using simple paper sails, but some of the more advanced builders here have all sorts of fancy techniques such as coffee-coloured cloth stiffened with glue, and similar. In any case - Nice vessel and once more, welcome to BoBS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
