ended.

I am nearly finished with the second part of Lord Vladivus' visit to the Nestlands Embassy. Hopefully what I have in store will provide some story options.

That set doesn't look quite finished, as it is using the older style book piece. Plenty of interest there, if I can afford it.

Oh, hopefully this Pierre Deborge is one of the captains that has suffered the indignity of receiving one of Captain Daffyd "Splattersquawk" Prows' "special shots." Pity the Dark Narwhal won't be near Arlinsport any time soon. The Corrington "Political Officer" Byron Messuir has related some interesting things about Lord Tucker, and Captain Prows would like to meet the man.

Paul Hogan?!? That would be worth even bricklink post series prices.

A seal already exists as well, and is appropriately sized as a seal cub to the minifig. I think it would be colored white, though.

Thanks guys. The ship herself came together quite quickly, though her large guns took four separate rigs to get the parts aligned that way. The water took three passes before I figured out the look. Once decided on the look, I had to fill it in, which took three hours by itself. All that work to make it so subtle. Yeah, there is a lot of polishing that gets done on the Dark Narwhal. Especially near feast days. The large sterncastle is about weight balance that she needs when unloaded. That brass bowsprit is solid and heavy. Thank you very much. Yes, I am glad that she fits within the free license. I went ahead and filled out the form, however I probably won't bother doing anything in the EGS. She's there, though, if the game masters need a little deus ex machina for story purposes (just ask).

Carnival

As promised; the Dark Narwhal in Anchored in a Dead Calm.

Captain Daffyd "Splattersquawk" Prows had wanted to be in Stedor for Burns Night, but the sea had other ideas. With no wind, and precious little wave, he ordered the crew of the Dark Narwhal to drop anchor and furl the sails. With the ship buttoned down, the crew went below decks to prepare for the Burns Night feast at sea. There were plenty of provisions, as Captain Prows had planned for this possibility. Even the Corrington officer, often such a dour man, joined in the preparations. Dearji spent much of the time with Cook, helping him to get the spice mix in the haggis just right. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Details of the Dark Narwhal: I did my best to create a quarter scale (to the minifigure) ship. At this scale in LDD rigging would have been highly difficult, so I simply left it off. The sterncastle is as close as I could get to the existing design found here. The feature that gives the Dark Narwhal her name is the huge brass bowsprit. It is sturdy enough for ramming. The smaller guns are slightly out of scale (LDD issues), and the bow guns are more like bombards. That is how Captain Prows was able to fire the whole rotten goose carcass that earned him the moniker "Splattersquawk". As can be seen here, the sterncastle has two floors above the main deck and stairs to the top. I was even able to represent the wooden Eslandola 'flag' and the letter of marque plaque. ------------------------------------ More detail shots (click to see them larger) -------------------------------- Here's the hull out of the water. I'm not sure about the scale of the anchor, though. -------------------------------------- I'm not sure if the Dark Narwhal falls into either the Class 1 or Class 2. If she doesn't, I won't bother to license her. CCC

The Dark Narwhal is done. She's about 1/4 scale done in LDD. I'll edit and upload the pics tomorrow.

I wonder, does your fiance appreciate her namesake being "widened"?
