My only complaints, besides that the pictures are huge, are: 1. It's too black, so everything seems to meld together on camera. 2. The hull lacks definition. Otherwise it's not bad!

Yeah, I saw that. The problem is I can't seem to find a good hard number on the angles.

Yeah, same thing to us land lubbers I guess!

Anyone have good dimensions for them? I can;t seem to find a good plan to make them from, and I would like to be as accurate as possible!

Well yeah, this is my first expirimentation with three sails on one mast, so I totally agree.

Couple new photos this morning: An overall view of the ship, the black square on the quarterdeck is the future site of the mizzenmast. Another view from a different angle. The crows nest, which is still in progress. The helm, looking pretty chunky but cool I think. Again, black box is the future site of the mizzen mast. And at the request of Mister Phes, the figurehead.

I'll post an image of the figurehead, the aft cabin and the quarter deck in about 10 hours, after I wake up and eat my apple jacks and such. Thinking of a name for the ship, and i'm always bad at these things. Thus far it's 'The Black Wind'. I've got the masts mocked up, and three seems like too many to me, and for the sails I'm thinking black duck cloth. See you all in the morning.

The original had one track system for each side, the arrows were so I didn't put them in backwards. This is no longer the case, but i was just being nostalgic I guess! In the final model they will be replaced with blanks.

Started the aft of the ship, placed guns on the gun deck and began thinking about deck arrangement. She will probably be a two mast ship, but maybe a three, what do you all think?

Acme, of course.

Holy crap! Makes a pirate want to stay home.

He got food poisoning from undercooking Island Boy. I thought everyone knew that!

Oh, never said I designed them myself I don't think. I've thoroughly scoured the custom cannon thread and piratically stolen all of your designs. No reason to reinvent the wheel. The longcoat would probably look better with a collar of some sort, but otherwise it's good. Anyway, working on the bow as we speak, and it's a bit influenced by the BSB which is one of my favorite ships. The aft may also be based on it, but only time will tell. When i finish the bow I'll post an image. (EDIT) Speak o' the devil. And the figurehead:

Cannons to be used, and may change in the future: Basic cannon on a turret track for the gun deck. The ones with palm trees on the ends will be swivel guns filled with grapeshot. The tiny one will be sub-cannons on the main deck, and haven't been finished yet. And the big ones will be one on each side, though they started as carronades, they became too large so now they are just big guns! Also not built yet are a long nine or two as stern chasers, and maybe a large mortar for the front, just to be different. (EDIT) Thar be the Cap'n arrr. (complete with poorly made longcoat!)

Worked a bit on the walls and the gun deck as well as the tracks, but haven't started on much else.
