Following Kurt Baty’s comments on
Reprendre, my ship rigged twenty gun
corvette has returned to Port Brique’s shipyards for a partial rebuild.
I began by cutting it back to the top of the hull section and the forechains (I
resisted the urge to step the formast further for’ard), and experimenting with
different ideas to properly capture the curve.
The solution I decided on was to use SNOT for the hull, and return to studs-up
for the deck. The curve is achieved using low slopes (3x3x1), standard slopes
(3x2x1) and steep slopes (3x2x3).
The rail will probably be rebuilt to better show off the SNOT curve of the hull,
but it does the job in the meantime.
This rebuild has given Reprendre significantly more room for’ard of the
foremast... space for a couple of chasers. ;-)
Here’s some more pics since the rebuild.
The Reprendre is now docked beside the
Misérable ... the old Mis
is looking old indeed.
Cheers

just saw the other thread the other day. i really like how you have changed the
bow, it looks sleek. another ship to look out for ;-).

Thank you!

I do! I have a long list of improvements that were needed... and the matching
solutions list is just about complete. There’ll be some innovative bits and
pieces.
I have a couple of other vessels to take pics of first, though. (Complete, but
as yet unphotographed).

Richie, It looks very nice overall. And I like your SNOT bow. How did you
transition from SOT to SNOT, which bricks did you use?

Thanks. The transition is accomplished using four headlight bricks far for’ard.
The SNOT section is not structural (internal supports hold the deck), so a 2
stud contact for each side was all that was needed.
