[WIP] "The Parrot" a small mercantile Vessel

[CaptainPolluxofOrion]

So after a long time i wanted to show some of the improvements (i hope) i made to the Parrot last couple of days.

The overall Vessel is still in Wip stage. The only real modification i have made is the Galion.

 

I think it definitly looks a bit more advanced and i made a custom Figurehead. I'm still not really satisfied. Maybe you can give some input.

The custom Figurehead looks good, I don't think it can be made any better. Maybe the following can help with building the ship bow:

I stumbled upon the Golden Hind in a article on the "Adler von Lübeck"

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adler_von_Lübeck

 

There was some measurements on the Golden Hind. It was 5,50 m wide (Its the measurement the 16 stud Prefabhulls have if they were real) So the moc you have send me is actually in good scale.)

 

If someone wants a link to the Adler von Lübeck Article i will post it here. Its a pdf. But in german.

 

Its also one of the ships i love to see a moc of. I think in digital form it will not be a problem. (It will take quiet a bit of time) In reality it will be year long jorney to get the parts...

Perhaps a 50746 on the head?

It's a pretty good brick built figurehead.  They're tricky, especially at this size.  The only other suggestion I would have is see if it looks any better with 49668, 4275, or 43723 and 43722 for wings.

Thank you, much appreciated    And thanks for the suggestion with the parts.

You put the wings on in the opposite direction that I was thinking, and I think it works out better that way :-D

You could be right. But I will try the other way i think, only to know how it looks.
