what do I like with what I did with this MOC, I like that the hull has sheer.

why pirates? (recall what Sam Houston said about us)

Did the Texicans ever float a navy at all?
  
so what do you think?

I think it is spiffy! I love that you have two decks! And that you have tumblehome.

I was on the gun deck of the HMS Victory in Portsmouth and it is remarkable how little headroom there is (IIRC the floor to ceiling was 6 feet at best, wit a lot of beams lowering it to more like 4.5, but I could be misremembering), so the fact that you have little clearance is spot on.

Does the RCX stuff in the background mean you are planning to automate the cannonfire (recoil, draw back, reemerge, flash of light, repeat)? :-)

Spotlighted!

Xposted to boats but FUT left set to pirates. Thanks for sharing this nice work
