171C
It's a MOC that's been years in the making! ...years in storage that is.
I had almost completed her right before placing it in storage a few years ago.
It's not quite complete. I really wanted to have the original BSB sails on it. For now, its got paper sails.
The intent for this MOC is the keep the look of the BSB, but give it some upgrades.
The Armada has been getting weary of their merchant vessels getting taken by pirates and privateers. They've hired the Evil Captain Phred to take on any vessels and supplied him with a merchant vessel that has been refitted and crewed to take on any pirate vessel.
Here's the figurehead and bow. No silliness was involved in the creation of this MOC.
Here's the stern. The captain's gig is now pulled out of the water.
Here's the gun deck. It features four 9-pounders, which are some pretty big guns to be placed on such a small vessel. Especially four of them.
Here's the crows nests. Some Caribbean locals have brought along their journalist along.
Here's a wonderful view of the Evil Captain Phred.
And the navigator. Who seems to love drinking rum on the job.
Here's the captain's cabin. It's currently occupied by a regional governor.
Here's another view of the captain's cabin. As you can plainly see, he's on his laptop again for some reason.
Here's the entire crew. I was told that one of them is a Red Coats spy, but I am not sure which crew member that would be.

Access below deck is similar to the original BSB, which means it's not used.
Both anchors are fully functional.
*
Access to the captain's cabin is similar to the original BSB too. The helm and rudder are fully funtional.

Enjoy! Comments and criticism welcome.
