Capt Wolf Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) With the demise of the class 2WR sloop Lady of Madrice in Hurricane Stepho (or was it at the hands of L’Olius in combat? Reports differ), the MCTC called up her sister ship, the class 2A Lady’s Revenge, commanded by Captain John “Jack” Merker, to active duty. Sporting six cannon and two swivel guns, she is well armed for escort duty or privateering. Unlike her sister ship, Lady's Revenge sports two cannon on the fore deck. Here Captain Merker takes the helm while his crew work the guns in anticipation of future action. What action will Captain Merker and the Lady's Revenge find this month as they sail the Sea of Storms? Edited April 7, 2016 by Capt Wolf Quote
CelesAurivern Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 She was wrecked in an engagement with L'Olius while sailing through a hurricane! ... or so that's how the other rumours go... Quote
Franco Clarke Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 I really like this ship you've made, the bright colour scheme and details. However, I can't work out how you've lengthened the hull from the original 2 pieces, it is a very smooth transition though Quote
Capt Wolf Posted April 7, 2016 Author Posted April 7, 2016 I built a middle hull piece using inverse slopes.Two rows of inverse 45s and a plate. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Fine ship indeed - where is that black&green bow piece from? Quote
Capt Wolf Posted April 7, 2016 Author Posted April 7, 2016 The black and green bow piece is from the Cross Bone Clipper. It was never one of my favorite ships from that era of Lego Pirates, so it gladly gave its life for a new life as a BoBS sloop. Quote
Gideon Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Nice ship overall and great color scheme! Nice grating also, is it reversed headlight bricks...? Edited April 7, 2016 by Gideon Quote
Capt Wolf Posted April 7, 2016 Author Posted April 7, 2016 Nice ship overall and great color scheme! Nice grating also, is it reversed headlight bricks...? Not headlight bricks, but just plain 1x1 bricks. They're attached to a 4x4 plate, and the whole thing sits inverted on a couple of ledges a little below the level of the deck. It can be removed, and if I had done a better job of planing ahead, something resembling a lower deck could be modeled. This picture from the original ship shows the grating up and a minifig (without legs!) posed in the recess. Quote
Bregir Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Great reiteration of this vessel - I really like the way you have enlarged her - it works seamlessly, and the longer hull makes her even more harmonic than her slightly smaller sister. Well done! Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Nice armed vessel. Good way to change the style of your ship. I like the design of your cannons. Quote
