dr_spock Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 What's a Sea Rat without her ship? Susieh Cheng has the White Skull, a class 2A armed sloop. The White Skull by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Her cabin boy in the crow's nest has spotted something in the water. Is it more prey? The ship sailed towards the object in the water. They found a soldier adrift on a raft. "Please help me. I have been at seas for days without food or water. By the way, what happened to your eye?" The ship sailed on without rescuing the soldier. The soldier thought, "Hmpf, what just happened? Did I say something wrong?" This is my first attempt at making sails and rigging. I hope they are ok. Tying those tiny knots was hard without reading glasses. More pictures on the Brickshelf. Quote
Captain Dee Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 That's a nice sloop you've built. I love those white hulls and while fairly simple, this is still an attractive design. Well, all but that big skull on the stern but that's a different matter. The accent colors are nice and the rigging is great - nothing complicated, but very good and far better than the standard shroud pieces will ever be. I'm really starting to like these smaller, more realistically-scaled prefab vessels. Good work, and I'll keep a weather eye out fer a seafarin' Blue wit' a li'l raff! Quote
Maxim I Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Funny story and excellent photographing!!! I love the ship. The rigging looks good (I have to start rigging my ship this evening, lord help me pls...) :D Quote
Kai NRG Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Very nice ship, looks really clean and smooth! Great work with the sails! Quote
Tomsche Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 A very pretty ship, I hope I won`t sail into her :-) Quote
Bart Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Looking good, I'd put the gun port covers with the hinge side up side next time. you are a tough one on that blue soldier though! Quote
Gideon Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Very nice rigging, especially the climbing nets I'm starting to think that I really should get some of those white hull pieces for an Oleander ship sometime in the future Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 You're of to a good start here! The rigging could be a bit more elaborate and I think the ship is a bit bulky at the rear. Keep it up! Quote
dr_spock Posted January 6, 2016 Author Posted January 6, 2016 Very nice rigging! Thank you. That's a nice sloop you've built. I love those white hulls and while fairly simple, this is still an attractive design. Well, all but that big skull on the stern but that's a different matter.

I'm really starting to like these smaller, more realistically-scaled prefab vessels. Good work, and I'll keep a weather eye out fer a seafarin' Blue wit' a li'l raff! Thank you. Those pre-fab seems to make a good starting base to build upon. Nice ship! Thanks. Funny story and excellent photographing!!! I love the ship. The rigging looks good (I have to start rigging my ship this evening, lord help me pls...) :D Thank you. Good luck with your rigging. Very nice ship, looks really clean and smooth! Great work with the sails! Thank you. A very pretty ship, I hope I won`t sail into her :-) Thanks. The Sea Rats don't mind you sailing into her. It's really no problem at all. Looking good, I'd put the gun port covers with the hinge side up side next time. you are a tough one on that blue soldier though! Thanks. Originally I had it with gun port doors hinged up but the modified plate was causing problems for gun elevation. I'll have to make the railing at least 1 plate higher on the next ship. Build and learn. She doesn't like questions about her eye. Very nice rigging, especially the climbing nets I'm starting to think that I really should get some of those white hull pieces for an Oleander ship sometime in the future Thank you. The white hull pieces came from the Friends Dolphin Cruiser set. It was fun walking up to the cashier with a big Friends box and smile. You're of to a good start here! The rigging could be a bit more elaborate and I think the ship is a bit bulky at the rear. Keep it up! Thank you. It's a start to still much learning in ship building. The bulky rear is all the better to hold more booty. Quote
