The 'Pursuit'
9 years ago this June, I started working on a Redcoat ship built on a red hull with two middle pieces. The structure went through several iterations before masts were even added, and the hunt through my boxes for enough black slopes lasted at least three years.
This is the culmination of the building style I developed over childhood, before the influence of Flickr and TFOL military stuff. Most of the work was done while I was in middle school. I've only just finished my second year of college.
It was never intended to be a historical build -- I hadn't even run into the likes of Luke Watkins Hutchins, E J, Captain Green Hair, or other dedicated historical ship modelers -- but rather a high-quality part of the fun classic 80's and 90's Lego Pirates line. (Why I was okay with getting away without side rigging for the masts :P )
Been waiting my whole career on Flickr to have this finished and uploaded. Several more pics to come!
