Avast you scurvy bilge rat!
Uh, I mean... I like the simplicity of the design, clean white stripe, simple
sail configuration. I’ve been planning to use the larger bow pieces for a
pirate ship myself, so it’s nice to see that it can work. Oh I also like the
use of the red gear as a wheel. ...Was that inspired by another person’s
design? This was the first I’ve noticed such a use - one I may well copy!
My only suggestion (and it’s a minor one meant mostly to appease any need you
might have to receive suggestions) is that the ship might look more finished
with a little rigging. It needn’t be the Lego® rigging elements. It could be
just some dark string for standing rigging, from hull to topmast, or some such.
Just an idea...
