[SR] (LDD) Rodsh is back on the Sea of Storms (response to the King's Harbour Ball)

[Bart]

After a long journey beyond the known world, Rodsh and Cathy find themselves in the Sea of Storms. 

Their ship made a quick stop in * to visit Rodsh his cousin Jacob who is still in charge of the Derr Merchants Warehouse, the trade business is doing good. They picked up some newspapers at the stop over. Apparently there is a Ball hosted in King’s Harbour. 

Rodsh finds that is an excellent event to find out what all this buzz about newly discovered islands and adventures to the east is all about. 

But first they’ll have to visit Bastion, Jacob didn’t have any new boats in store, and the ship is in desperate need of some new ones. in Bastion there should be some available. and the crew needs a day or two off anyway and what is not a better place to have fun then in Bastion. 

*(I can’t find out where I ‘placed it’ on an Eslandonian island it should be according to the topic.)

Excellent build @Bart! The Captain's Cabin is incredibly well done, and pleasantly detailed. Your story is great as well, and I can't wait to see where things take you.

What Mesabi said, excellent build and story!

The ship seems to be in stormy seas? I hope the cannon right behind Rodsh is secured well...

 

Good to see another Sea Rat back in action.

Thank you! The course is set to Bastion, and the story might hint to another MOC there.

Thank you too. 
Yes they have some bad weather in the Sea of Storms. (A bit urgh that the splasing water against the windows turned out to be hardly visible in the render) 
And you can pull off a lot with LDD, but making a lashing with rope around a cannon. nope. I'm already happy that my skills are here, a kitten playing with a coin, a fallen over bucket. the things that are so easy with real bricks, are the most work in LDD. on the other hand. you don't have gravity or the need for bricks to be really connected.

Very well MOCed little ship scene. I think you might have used tiles on top of the deck, but that's about it. Great to have you active again!

I never even thought about tiling the weather deck. all my attention was on the inside.

I really like the way you showed the rough seas ... Seems the decks are rather short but over all its a solid build welcome back 

[Bart]

@Roadmonkeytj What do you mean by short? 

it's 20 studs wide. and I imagine it's a cut off of a Frigate. just behind the division between the gun deck and the cabin.

I believe they meant the ceiling is a bit low. 

[Bart]

Ah! the low height is more or less intentional. For me that makes it having a ship feeling. and as far as my knowledge and experience goes, ships of the age of sail didn't have to much head space.
