LCC - Outlaws, "The Discovery"
Posted: Sat Sep 14, 2013 2:58 am
Hey Guys,
This small vessel is something I threw together. I recently built a SpongeBob set "The flying Dutchman." I had built it as I was looking for some ideas on building really small vessels for my storyline in the LCC found in our Roleplay and gaming section of this wonderful forum. Anyway, I thought building that SpongeBob set would really help me see what I wanted in my small vessel.
After building it, I thought to myself, "I could really improve this neat little boat." so I made it a little deeper, just slightly longer, gave it a suitable staircase, and working cabin with workspace (and a sharp sword!). Whether or not I improved the ship is debatable. However one thing is certain this little vessel was a blast to create.
Keep in mind, for its purpose as a very light and quick vessel, it needs to be able to navigate in very shallow waters and even some swampy sections of a world. It is built with the ability to house no more than four people at any given time (one at the helm, one in the crows nest, one on the deck, one in the cabin (presumably resting)). These men rotate shifts in order to keep everyone fresh
Without further ado, here is my little boat, "The Discovery." C&C are very encouraged!

The only line of defense for this ship are the one in the crow's nest and the one on deck, both, presumably wielding a crossbow for longer distances. If the ship were to get close to land (or another smaller vessel) the mounted spear on the front (serving as more of a sign of colors) can be removed and used to strike for closer distances (or push off those pesky jellyfish!).
EDIT***
I have decided to go back and smooth out those studs on the steps with tiles.
I am thinking to replace the hinge bases with black instead of the light bley right now.
Also I think replacing the white clips on the sail with black ones would look good. I am looking for ways to cover the black hoses with brown, but nothing immediately comes to mind. I would rather not paint them if possible.
Other than that, I would appreciate any helpful critiques you have to offer
