[MOC] - Pirates of the Children seas - a sloop

[Max_Lego]

I was not satisfied with my younger brother's 31109 Pirate ship, believing it to be unrealistic. I thought that the best option for a pirate ship, built out of 31109 parts, would be a sloop. The Eurobricks Alt-Build Contest motivated me to rebuild the set and submit the result as an entry. Now I reworked my MOC with parts, not included in the set, to make it look more believable. This included adding paper sails and small cannons, and, of course, a Pirate crew!

I decided to call them "Pirates of the Children seas" because of how childish they look. Nevertheless, I like the finished result - after all, they are the only Pirates I can afford now.

What do you think about these guys?

Well its a neat little sloop I give you that. However it aint a Bermuda sloop, Bermuda sloops had instinctive raked mast that was slanted to give it that rogueish type look.

Thanks! I am sorry for the confusion. I should've continued calling it "pseudo Bermuda sloop"...

No worries mate, Im just pedantic sometimes when it comes to terminology of things 
Doesnt help that Im passionate about Pirate History and age of sail. Great channel for that I highly recommend

Thanks! I watched the video, and it is indeed very comprehensive.

I now think I should call it just a sloop...
