Justsomebrix Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 As piracy in the New World threatens both our shipping and settlements, Edward Scarver and Killian Goodwill has formed a squadron of privateers. The small squadron will be sent out to hunt Black Flaged vessels and any remnants of the Lotii that still dear roam our seas. The urge to take the helm, go back to sea and lead this squadron against the enemies of Corrington almost overtook Scarver. But he knew his duties as Mayor demanded his presence in Queenston. After all the young settlement has yet to complete it's Fortress. And if something were to happen to the settlement while he was away cruising the brick seas hunting pirates... well... let's just say his career as Mayor would be cut short... Instead he promoted his loyal friend and quartermaster, Sinbad, to captain of the Ranger. Sinbad was born in the Mokolei Empire as the son of a Corrie farmer. His father had worked as a sailor on a merchant ship that would regularly sail between the two Empires. One day he fell in love with the daughter of one of their Mokolei clients and they ran away together. They settled down in a small farm deep in Mokolei country, where they worked for years. Until they eventually had amassed enough money to buy their own fields and start their own little farm. Shortly after they had their first son, Sinbad. However, as he grew up it was clear the life of a modest farmer wouldn't be enough for the young Sinbad, and at 16 he left for the sea. After working on merchant ships and a few mokolei corsairs, he heard rumours of an up and coming Corrie privateer who was looking for new recruits to fill the ranks of his newly captured ship, The Muharib. Sinbad got the job and with his cunning charisma, he quickly grew popular with both the crew and his captain, Edward Scarver. He was eventually voted Quartmaster by the crew and has stayed loyal to his captain and his brothers in arms ever since. Even when Edward Scarver was made Mayor of the newly founded frontier settlement of Queenston, Sinbad stayed and helped out in the settlement, both by gathering supplies and building new structures. But also by keeping crime off the streets before the first troops were stationed. Here you can see Sinbad arriving with the rest of his crew. Here the Ranger's Quartermaster is seen waiting on deck. The Boatswain takes a last hit of his pipe before setting sail. The ship has been prepared and lays docked in the harbour, together with the rest of the squadron, the Andromache, The Parvus and the Delphinus Orca. And with that, the fleet is ready for a hunt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well with about 35 minutes to spare I managed to finish and post the last ship for @lmcpicture and I's squadron of Queenston Privateers! I am sorry about the bad pictures, I didn't manage to find a good setup for a scene this big. However I intend to take some new photos one day with rigging and unfurled sails. This will be both of us first time trying out the Tmrca, so let's hope we get some first timers luck this turn She will be licenced as a class 3 sloop Quote
NOD Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 A great story and a beautiful ship and rowing boat. I hope you catch the Gentleman Privateer's notorious Corrington pirate flotilla. Quote
Justsomebrix Posted August 1, 2023 Author Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) @NOD I wouldn't bet on it, I hear the Gentlemen Privateer is quite the charmer Edited August 1, 2023 by Justsomebrix Quote
Yperio_Bricks Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 Wonderful ship and story! Looking forward to see the ship under full sails! Quote
Wellesley Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 Very clean build! I like the furled sails. Quote

Looking forward to see the ship under full sails! Thank you! Still unsure if I will take the opportunity to rebuild her as a new ship, with different colours while upgrading the things I'm less happy about, or if I simply add the sails and rigging. Either way I'll have to make some bricklink orders as the mast is way too fragile for my liking. @Fraunces @Wellesley @Captain Braunsfeld Thank you for the kind words! Quote
Kai NRG Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 Lovely pair of craft. That touch of gold at the prow of the sloop is perfect. Quote
