SMALL/minor update

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Hi guys, we know we already shared the Thunderer with you, but we also wanted to show you how the privateer works and such. We have pieces to start building some of our new ship, (bluecoat) USS Revere. We are also getting some new hull parts soon. We will also show you the crew of this ship. It has only 1 actual blue coat. But we have things to improvise. We don't have pics yet but we will put 'em up in about an hour. We'll try to get more high quality pics. We'll be listening to your comments in about an hour!!!

Hey guys here's the pictures. I tried to get interior shots but the lighting wouldn't let me. Let's start off with the red coats

The crew below decks

I know, 3 privateer captains. They talk about heir next attack on the bluecoats.

The lieutenants. 1 steers 1 looks after the bow and another is on the crow's nest.

The imperial guards. They're veterans and guard the admirals.

The main crew. They lead the boardings.

The newbies/recruits.

Time for their beligrants, the blue coats for the USS Revere (WIP, will be done in couple of months). I know, I need to get more cannons and make some smaller.

The admiral and his privateer friend.

The guards/veterans.

The lieutenant.

The people who patrol the decks and lead boardings.

The crew who work below decks with cannons.

Even more. The green one looks SO happy!!!

The picked up deserter from the red coats, he works at the very bottom of our ship (wip

The strange admiral's daughter.

Everything!

Thanks for reading, we'll start building the ship as soon as we can.

does this mean the two ships will be built simultaneously?

Nice crew! If you want to make your own, custom, piratey/bluecoaty crew, take a look HERE

P.S. Here's an example of what you can do:

All 52 of the crew members are custom...

Well let's be honest: I don't think it's a good idea to start a WIP thread when you have no pics of the ship, but only a few minifigs.

When you later add pics people will possibly not recognize them and ignore the topic.

To the crew: they look decent but much like the official Lego minifigs. Try to vary faces a bit more and seriously consider using customs like the_green_avenger proposed.

Personally I detest stickers, so I don't customize, but that is only a matter of taste.

If you do it properly, the results can be really nice.

Sorry Green Avenger for the misunderstanding. The USS Revere is being started asap. But the HMS Thunderer is already built. (It's the modded BBB) Please (unless you want to) don't comment on it for it will be a bump. Sorry, but thanks for the comment.

-the Admiral

I am so sorry, I didn't realize that. But I will definitely change some faces but probably not use custom torsos because I don't like stickers and they look marvelous already. Sorry for the inconvenience.
