Thanks for the input! Your comments are exactly what I'm looking for. I added rounded slopes to the cabin top and I think I have it looking a bit better. In terms of the double spars, I want a degree of playability in the model. I'm not sure how I would store the extensions above the spars and maintain an easy way to extend the studdin' sails. That was my thinking, anyway. The bow is the part of the ship I am least happy with. I don't want it to be too overly dependent on hinges, but that might be the way to go. Thanks again!

[pid][/pid] 146C Hey! This is my first post on the forums here, but I've been a long time lurker. I'm a huge fan of you guys and I finally have some free time to share my projects. I wanted to share a Bermuda Sloop I've been working on. It is minifig scale and largely based on the below link. http://www.modelship...Sloop_1_eng.htm While it is currently just LDD images, I am ordering the requisite parts from BrickLink. I've made plenty of ships in the past, but this is the first one I've tried to make somewhat historically accurate. There will be custom rigging and sails. Anyway, here are some shots! The black extensions on the mast are retractable The hatches are currently uncovered, but will be filled with some techniques I've picked up from this forum. It was hard to get correct in LDD and eventually I gave up! There is an anchor as well but chains are pretty impossible to do correctly in LDD. The gun crew! Feedback is much appreciated. Things are a lot easier to change in LDD than bricks. Next project is a brig!
