I have been busy
Here's a look at the half scale (15mm minis) final prototype. I have been stretching the stern part to make it look more pleasing. The first test was too short.
The cabin will be removable so you have two ship options with that.
And then I started working on the full scale (28-30mm minis) prototype. For this size I have some parts split as they are longer than a page.
Here is the comparison of the half and full scale model.
I started to sketch the details on to get a better look. With the LEGO's I think you can imagine the scale better. Let's just say there will be enough deck space for mini action
A final test to see if the canons fit revealed: they don't
So I have to raise the sides by about 5mm. But when I looked at the minis, they looked to high because of the raised base. So actually the correction is just fine!
Now I need to work in all the corrections I found during the build and then I can start working on the cabin and texturing!
Happy building,
Chris
