Ahoy!
The Seatop is a 12 gun brig operating in the waters around Port Brique. She is
of an older design, but is an exceptionally seaworthy craft and handy sailor.
Built on a three centre section hull, the Seatop uses a double row of inverted
slopes to achieve sufficient hull width, and she uses SNOT slopes at the bow and
angled bricks (in place of tall slopes) at the stern quarters to allow for a
less boxy look.
Sails are parchment paper, with the pennants coming from the Durmstrang galleon.
(I think that the pennants are just about the best pieces in that set!)
The colour scheme carries over from the old HMLS Intractible, which was the
major donor vessel for the Seatop. The hull is perhaps one brick too tall -
though the taller than usual masts help minimise the impact of this.

| (...) That is a really nice looking ship. I like the slanted cabin in the back, it was an effect I had tried to do on my ship originally but lacked the pieces (or at least the patience to find the pieces) for it. The colors flow well also, I haven't (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
