Hi,

I’ve been lurking for a very, very very long time (the pre Lugnet days of rtl&atl) although I have attended a MUGS meeting before (I brought the Formula 1 microscale model).

This is the first of 2 models for T.G.B.S.L.I.L.A.

The Freetrader Serpentine

It was made in two halves, part a while ago (hence the dust in some parts) And the rest I finished as of today. the sails are temp for the photos, as is the website.

Any clues on what type of ship this is would be a help. It was based on pictures in the Pirates manual (C-64 classic game)

Enjoy, and thanks everone for all the inspiration

PS. My second model will not be complete before any deadline (not to my standard of finished anyway), are mostly finished models ok?

(...) Ahoy and welcome! (...) Doubly cool. (...) A nice vessel indeed, I'd call it a brig, with or without a gaff sail - but I think a gaff sail would be a nice addition. As others have noted, the door is a great. You've done a great job in (...) (20 years ago, 27-May-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.pirates, FTX)
