Tezclatipoca Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) They knew about the Golden Fleet, but nothing about the escort... The Eslandian authorities, well aware of the leak of their intel concerning the Golden Fleet, had decided to keep more or less the same route, as it was considered the fastest and probably the safest (if we were not counting the numerous pirates that would try to plunder the fleet). So, they decided to recruit some new vessels to create a good escort. This is where the brand new vessel of Felipe de la Manzana had been sent for her maiden trip... Captain Log, end of September 616 : The Galleon we are in charge is peacefully setting sail to our next stop where we will resupply with fresh water, but I am not sure we will not see another pirate flag before. It was exhausting for my crew to protect this Golden Fleet... Every corner of every rock or sand bank from Nellisa to Terelli is welcoming a vessel ready to attack us. Bl...dy officials who are not capable of keeping this fleet a secret. I just left this log away a few minutes and we are already seeing a black sail... It has become a routine now, my sailors are well trained and my artillery crew has became more accurate. Finally, this escort will be a good training for them... Well, I am back to my log, just to report that we effectively intercepted a pirate ship trying to plunder the fleet. The Galleon had been touched but suffered no real damage. My crew managed to cut the road of the pirates apparently quite surprised to discover a heavy armed frigate to stop them. Apparently they knew about the Golden Fleet, but nothing about the escort. This is the official log Felipe de la Manzana left at the Terelli port officer when he arrived safely. After that run, he returned with his brand new Frigate to Elisabethtown to join Basil. He did not knew he would receive urgent orders from the crown just at his arrival... But this is another story... This is, finally, my challenge 4B entry. I hope you will like it ! I really wanted to try some micro ships based on LEGO canot hull. Garmadon made already one and it was so amazing that I couldn't pass on that technique. This challenge was the best opportunity for me to try several ship designs. Your comments and criticisms are very welcome ! Edited October 2, 2016 by Faladrin Quote
Legostone Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Mini-ships, great! After seeing these I imitatively had to think of Garmadons little ship based on said hull too, and yours are great too! But why are your flags flying in different directions? Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Really good mini ships! Excellent! Quote
TitusV Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Two very nice microships and great action-scenes! Quote
blackdeathgr Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Lovely miniships! I like what you did at the side of them so as to actually see canons. Which reminds me to build one for my work office (ofc i keep saying that since Garmadon posted his miniships way back) Quote
Capt Wolf Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Great job with the mini-ships. I'm going to have to study that scale a bit more. The flaming, sinking ship is well done. Glad to see we had a proper escort on this run! Quote
Garmadon Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Very nice micro-ships, Faladrin, I really like seeing some micros in this scale (and the fact is, I actually didn't realize that they were on rowboat hulls until the fourth picture or so! ) Clever way to get the firing cannons (I especially like how you did it on the first, light green, ship), and the pirate looks quite nice as well! Neat job! Quote
