Well green windows might be hard to find, but perhaps I could use black 1x4
arch to simpulate them, just no glass (or shutters). Good Idea. This is my

Actually I made this ship in the first place for Evil Stevie's pirate game, so
since this was a the size of a lev6 ship, I needed(wanted) 6 cannons. Space
constraints made it easier to just to bolt those ones to the deck (so to
speak). Inside the cabin I felt it would be difficult to be moving the cannons
around so I didn't bother. I was right too, putting just that one guy in the
back was kinda a chore.
