HMS Sea Hawk
This MOC has filled four purposes:
The first, a ship utilizing the coral and dark bluish grey hulls together. Coral only had the top section in one Friends set, and the DBG only came in the avengers Helicarrier.
The second, to build a ship in a more later age sail style, more straight and less curvy.
Third, to honor my older brothers MOC from 17 years ago or so. He built a ship, called it the Sea Hawk. Combined with the 2009 Pirate line being announced, was what really kicked off my enduring love for Pirate Lego.
And fourth, to build a highly detailed (for me) ship with Power Functions. Not only are there lights, but the ship is moterized!
About the MOC itself, I'm not happy with my stern. When I first started building ships, I found the stern the easy part. Build a box with windows. Boom, your done. I was partially hampered by having to have the Power Function receiver hidden there. The bow, on the other hand, is kinda the reverse. I used to struggle with it (A couple of my older MOCs have HORRENDOUS bows) but nowadays I find them easier. I wasn't originally planning to use the prefab part, but it worked pretty well, and the aesthetic of the part is similar to the 1x4x2 bar fence, which were parts prominently used my my brothers old MOC. Which he probably still has partially assembled somewhere.
