[Alt-Build Contest] - 31109 Pirate ship

[Max_Lego]

31109 Pirate ship alternative build (category: large, RRP: $119.99). It's a sloop from the 18th century. Sadly, I didn't use all parts of the original. I wanted to see if I could build a sloop from the 31109 set, and I am not sure if I succeeded; nevertheless, I apply it to the contest, despite it being a very simlar concept to the original set and therefore losing Originality points. After all, I built a ship MOC out of a ship set 

The sloop has a rudder, that can be controlled by a minifigure on the deck:

It also has a small cargo hold:

Here's a bottom view of the ship to prove that it was built only out of 31109 parts:

I hope you like it

It mightn't be a different theme, but it's a good looking sloop! I especially like the texture on the hull.

Thanks! I tried my best

Looks very nice! One thing that might help you in originality is that while it's the same general concept, the pirate ship in the official set is very cartoony, while yours goes more for realism.

Thank you very much! Yes, that's exactly the idea - I wanted the ship to look more realistic
