   Hello Pirate Folk!

I usually lurk in the .town group and do mainly town building, but I have been interested in pirates lately. A friend of mine dropped off a bucket of misc. pieces, many of which were pirate elements. Ever since I’ve been tinkering and I’ve gotten myself hooked. Here’s a look at my first small ship:

I dont have any hulls so I used the 6-wide black boat hulls from town boats. I also dont have any sails so neither does my ship. I hope to start accumulating some of these elements and start assembling a fleet. Let me know what you think! I hope to be around semi-often posting ships soon!

You’ve really captured a nice profile there. The curve of the stern castle is really quite graceful.

Have you considered using inverse slopes to widen it a bit? More width would really help.

I’d also recommend trying your hand at making some sails... even paper ones can fill out a ship nicely.

I’ll look forward to seeing more!

Cheers
