    It is a very difficult situation tbh :p Most examples (modelbuilding) show the gunports being covered and trapped by the rigging (as in, I really don't see how they are to be shut down/opened). The drawing of the Gotheborg I use as rigging plan, show the shrouds being arranged around the gunports (as you say). But I don't find a wooden model showing this. It should be possible in Lego (I guess), but I am not sure the result will be as satisfying as we hope. Those gunports are very space consuming pieces :p

    Excellent question :p My first plan was to keep them visible, but "trapped" behind the shrouds, as it is very hard to keep them playable (+ there is not really a gun behind it, so there is no surplus in opening the gunport).

    This is going to take a while :p

    The influence of MAESTRO was already for a longer time extending the Eslandolan borders. So when Corrington asked for adventurers exploring their jungle, the Trador Agency of Exploring & Culture (a branch of MAESTRO) decided to set up an office in Jameston. An office that also would be used as a MAESTRO commercial office. Lars Stefano was appointed to be in charge of the office. Lars really hoped the explorers would come back before the deadline with their findings. But as no-one ever mapped the jungle, it was possible that the explorers were somewhere completely lost in the jungle. It was a shame that Jan Zwartbaard was now somewhere in Tellvok. MAESTRO really could have used the experience of their master explorer.... ---- Hope you enjoy the build!

    Prelude: ... (Eslandola Colonial Council, January 25th 618 AE) ... A few days later, at dawn: A Battalion of MAESTRO soldiers marched into the harbour. Under command of General Whitedragon, they boarded the anchored Sea Rat vessels. The Eslandolan soldiers quickly disarmed the Sea Rats without any harm or causalties as the Sea Rats understood they had a disadvantage and the Eslandolans came in peace. Aboard the Misfortune's Wrath, General Whitedragon summoned a clerk.declaring the Sea Rats vessels to be detained. All Sea Rats are free men, free to roam the pubs in Fuerto Unido, but misbehaving would not be accepted. But they had to stay in Fuerto Unido for the upcoming period. Asking who was in charge of the Sea Rats fleet, a guy with white cloak and golden skull on his bicorn was appointed as the most important Sea Rat. Little did the Eslandolans know the Sea Rats dressed up a common sailor and appointed him to be in charge. They even called him Captain Whitemouse, to mock with the famous Eslandolan General Whitedragon. Back in his office, General Whitedragon sent the following letter: ------------------- A MRCA response. It is now up to the Sea Rats. The letter could be recognised as an adapted copy of a famous Corrington letter. The build itself was fun. I wanted to recreate the style some Sea Rats builders are building their vessels and Black Sails was an inspiration as well.

    These are 2 very well made gun boats! Great job on making them completely different! Difficult to say which one is nicer than the other one :)

    I really like how this yells "classic pirates" in a smooth edition (tiles etc on the docks). Great job!

    As always, very good story telling! The rockwork could use some finishing. Slopes, cheeseslopes, etc are always very usefull.

    Note to myself: if you drool, don't do this at work... Anyway, the drooling was completely worth it! Stunning!

    Hmm, looks like I have to protect my horse ranch better :p Barbars!! It is indeed one of your better MOC's Mesabi!
  15. Maxim I
    Hahaha clever!! The beetle is very spot on. The minifig MOC is hilarious and fits your characters perfectly

    The tan wood bricks work very good! Nice job on the vegetation surrounding the temple. The whole atmosphere feels right!

    I am going for a CAT A as well. But the chances to squeeze a B and/or C will be small

    Ahead of it's time and other factions? ... ... *swims further in his pool of money*

    MAESTRO has their own forces (I think around 360 soldiers so far) as well. Every Eslandolan Trade Company has their own troops. I think even ETWC has some troops (or at least monkeys)

    I am not sure what scene you mean? Is it a Legoland USA thingy? Do you have some pics of those vessels?
  22. Maxim I
    Absolutely fabolous vessel! The stern is amazingly beautifull! Its style reminds me of the Black Sails vessels. ---- About class and licencing. At first glance, it looks like it has 5 midsecs. It certainly is bigger than my class 6 Prince of Stedor and compared to a lot of licenced class 7 fregates, this one certainly belongs in the same class. Compared to Ayrlego's Alejandro, this ons is clearly bigger (an extra deck).

    My bad, looks like I forgot to remove the line :) feel free to go with this :)

    Americans... Always thinking the world turns around them :p Anyway, it is an interesting idea. You scaled the map so the scale match the scale of the map of the real world?
