Hello, it's me again.
This time I would like to present to you a ship that I've built some time back: The Prince Ian-Lucas.
At that point in time I was building ships without knowledge of the existence of Captain Greenhairs Tutorial. So, my approach was to use slopes to make the ship look right.
Its a modular build, so I can take off the top elements and allow access to the lower decks.
This is the Dutch crew: (in red: Cornelius Drebbel)
As you can see I have attempted to make every part of the ship accessible to the crew.
This is why I had to spend an extra door here at the rear (and staircases somewhere else, etc.):
(that was an earlier picture before the ship was actually finished - pls note the monkey )
Some more views:
Overall, the ship turned out to be quite stable, easy to transport and store away. My later attempts have not always had these three qualities.
Would I change it now, having advanced in a few areas? Yes, of course My MOCs are never done...
One question remains for the experts: What type of ship is that? Is it a galleon? A monster of a sloop? A too small ship of the line?
