Ahoy all,

A little advanced technology from the shipwrights of Port Brique, the Guerre de Roue:



More pics here, post moderation.

The Guerre de Roue was built out of parts on hand, and you can probably tell a few areas where I was scraping the bottom of the parts barrel... I find narrow hulls a bit of challenge to build well with, but a mid 19th century sidewheeeler can use the narrowness of the hulls well.

As always, comments and criticisms welcome.

Cheers

Richie Dulin

I’m not sure how suitable this really is for pirates... so please consider FUT if replying.

This is a very elegant looking dual-powered vessel. Is the thin smokestack accurate to the era? I find the bley an excellent choice for the metal.

I hope your recent spate of posting is a promise of more of your excellent sea-going vessels.

Tim

Very nice! One of my faviourite ships for ages... I like the menacing narrow silhouette and even the red colour scheme works surprisingly well.

Great work and God Bless,

Nathan

As soon as I looked at this creation I thought of the Disney 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Maybe the colour scheme, I don’t know but I expect the paddlewheels to be powered by a small nuclear reactor.
