Ahoy again mates. My second go around at a ship, I was able to throw some ideas I had after I finished the Corinthian into this. I think it looks better not being as tall and being longer, but I'd be interested in hearing everyone else's opinion as (...)

(...) As far as the rigging goes, what you have on the foremast looks great. Unfortunately, there's not an easy way to turn groups of stays into ratlines... and if you use Lego ratlines further aloft, the lower rigging will look oddly thin. I've (...) (18 years ago, 28-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates)

Well after my frigate being dismasted and wrecked by the twin storms Joshua and Riley (my two boys) my ship is once again nearing completion. Still working on the rigging and the captain's cabin. What do you think? any suggestions for the rigging? (18 years ago, 27-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Thanks, Sean. Once twelve cannons are squeezed into the main deck, there's not much space left for detail (though there is some for recoil!). And the after part of the Seatop is mostly filled with supports for the deck and the angled (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) 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)

(...) Nice MOC, Richie! I especially like that you made your own hull instead of just using the prefab ones that lego makes. Do you have any plans to make a 36 or 44 gun heavy frigate version sometime? Now that would be vool! The more cannons, the (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

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.

I plan on removing the top most deck and then adding details to the lower ones, and also extending the ship slightly so (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.general, FTX)

If not, that might be an interesting feature for your next ship. I like the use of the katana. (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.general, FTX)
