kaiju Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Grayther Drave pays many people to bring him exotic goods for his emporium in Bastion, but the Spiders may be his favourites. A team of expert treasure hunters, the Spiders take their name from the unusual little boat the sail around in; the Wight Spider. Some people claim the boat is not white enough for it's name. Drave tells them they misunderstand it. The Spiders - Talia, Gascoigne and Klaus - treat their vessel better than they treat anyone else, except, perhaps, Grayther Drave. The Wight Spider is a Class 1 Well Rounded vessel. Quote
blackdeathgr Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Nice one, unusual, Asian-looking ship! Quote
Bregir Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Nice example of a class 1 WR. I really like the spidery details, and the awning over the helmsman. As always, I would suggest fore-and aft rig for these small vessels, but apart from that, that rigging works well. Quote
kaiju Posted April 19, 2016 Author Posted April 19, 2016 Nice one, unusual, Asian-looking ship! Thanks. I'll be honest, it started off as "Can I turn the Raid Zeppelin into a boat?" and, like most of my recent builts, got a bit away from me, Nice example of a class 1 WR. I really like the spidery details, and the awning over the helmsman. As always, I would suggest fore-and aft rig for these small vessels, but apart from that, that rigging works well. Thank you. Regarding the rigging, I've yet to figure out how to do other set-ups using the technic panels, and didn't want to mess around too much trying out other methods, so I settled for this. Quote
Kwatchi Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Neat little build. You have managed to produce a nice little flotilla this month. Quote
Garmadon Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Very neat and interesting little boat, the sails do look great once again, and I like that covering on the back! Quote
kaiju Posted April 20, 2016 Author Posted April 20, 2016 Nice one! I like the look of the 8 limbs Thank you. The "legs" were a cool detail on the original design. I added another pair on a whim, and then realised I had a spider theme to work with. Neat little build. You have managed to produce a nice little flotilla this month. I may be overcompensating for the loss of the Crow. Very neat and interesting little boat, the sails do look great once again, and I like that covering on the back! Thank you. The sails on my recent ships seem to be a big hit. Quote
