Hey Soren
Pardon me for waiting so long to post, I just had to see the thing in person
before I gave my opinion about it. This is a great addition to your pirate
theme, very sleek and well-turned. I really like the hull angling on the
bottom end, and am trying hard not to give away the big secret as to how it’s
held together.
|
Thank you.

As for putting in grappling hooks like
Mr. Rignault’s
Mosquito, I would just throw one in to the fore and aft each, and only put
in broadside-mounted hooks if you’re feeling especially adventurous.
|
I may just do that. I don’t know, I may save them for my current project.
| |
Grappling hooks in space would give me a headache, what with all the vectors
and the tension load of the cable and so on and so forth...
|
Or you could go the Outlaw Star route, and use minimissiles with cables. Saves
grappling hook parts too, but it doesn’t have the visual impact.
| |
The stability is
what one might expect, not too fragile (but just fragile enough). I like the
dark red in the colour scheme, it maybe hints at the, shall we say, diverse
origins of the pirate-themed ships, heh heh. You should really get pics of it
with the flags on.
|
I should. I need to get a group shot too.
| |
And mebbe some better underside shots, that’s tasty
detailing that everyone’s missing out on.
|
If you’ll hold it up, I’ll get better shots.
| |
I’ll be waiting for you to build a
nice big pirate carrier!
|
Don’t hold your breath. Although, I did find a new source of used parts...

PS- You so got me hooked on Gunslinger Girl, you fiend!
|
Just wait till you get to the really depressing part.
