[pid][/pid] 160A Ahoy! I'd like to present to you my new frigate which has been inspired by the work of our friend Sebeus I. The ship is called "The Blue Mermaid" Here's the little story to go along: Captain Jones was getting uneasy. For three hours he had been standing still to get his watercolour picture finished. Most of his crew had disappeared to sleep under deck. The few guys remaining and waiting for the painter to finish were the navigator, the first lieutenant and two strange guys. One was obviously gone crazy as he kept feeding his strange "Norwegian Blue" parrot. The other one was even stranger. He had boarded the ship with the aim to find the "Temple of the Monkey God" (wherever that would be). Surrounded by these guys, captain Jones felt a bit uneasy... but at least the painter was almost done, sailing beside the "Blue Mermaid" in his small sloop. End of story. As those who have seen some of my ships can tell, I have been following both inspiration from Sebeus I and the tutorial of fellow captain Green Hair. However, I made a few modifications which made the overall build more complex for me in the end. I have used custom-made cotton sails this time. And custom-made cannons. I really find that the CGH-Tutorial approach gives all these ships nice shapes but lacks stability. And you can never really access the lower decks which reduces playability. So, I might return to my old slope-based approach and present you some more of my reshaped old ships (if you give me some time ) Your feedback is welcome!

167A Ahoy, I am happy to present a brigg [sorry: it seems to be "brig" in English] with custom sails - the India (because of the galion): I have tried custom sails before but without the custom rigging. This time I am quite happy about the result. Then I found that the pictures look much better with a decent blue background: The crew is famous, as usual I hope you enjoy this (small) brigg and I am looking forward to comments that tell me that the "rear sail" is incorret . So, we sail into the sunset: ... wishing everyone a nice weekend! (P.S.: Don't try to search for "Lego Brig". Some clever algorithm is sure that you meant "Lego brick". I hate programs that try to be intelligent...)
