BH's Boat Set

Bullethead's Boat Set


Set currently includes a superyacht (head-of-state version) and a separate Zodiac inflatable outboard. There are also 2 Zodiacs that are part of the main superyacht. I might add more boats in the future if I ever feel like going through this ordeal again.

The above pic is a slightly earlier version but it had the best backdrop. The pics below show the current version. They differ only in a few details, mostly the ground tackle (anchors and such).


The superyacht is equipped for a head-of-state so has a twin 30mm point automated defense system and chaff launchers to defend against missiles, and also a fire control radar to use the gun for offensive action if need be (repelling boarders, etc.). It also has more extensive communications than are normally needed for civilians. To convert this to a civilian boat, remove the guns, chaff, and fire control radar, and perhaps turn the roof of the aft deckhouse into a helipad.




This version also has CODAG (COmbined Diesel And Gas) propulsion, cruising on diesels but with gas turbines that can be clutched in for much higher speed. To convert to just diesel for civilian use, remove the upper air intakes just below the stack.


There is a VIP suite on 2 decks right aft with personal servant quarters below. This has its own galley, head, and conference / situation room as needed by a head-of-state. There are 6 luxury double cabins for guests / press below the fo'c'le with crew quarters on the lower deck.





The electronics outfit for head-of-state. To convert to civvie, remove the fire control radar and perhaps the 2 big satellite communications balls.

Anyway, some more detail shots:

"Arxelia" means "Magnificent" in the Nicotinan language (Planco).

2 Zodiac inflatable motorboats for general use and as lifeboats. These can be repositioned easily to lower the Zodiacs, as shown below.

Anchor dropped, davits swung outboard, and boat lowered. All simple edits to the model.

Night view. Navigation lights on the mast and from the portholes. The bridge and VIP suite windows are too tinted to give off light.

The separate version of the Zodiac. The wooden column on the left is what makes it a building. Hide this somewhere or use it as a mooring post (connect it to the boat with a rope).

Bullethead, talk about detail...holy cow. Great work again! :)

Aw shucks [redface] . You're so great at scenery things, I'm quite flattered.

Just noticed that sculpture in the background of that first picture.... Can I see more of that? :)

Wow, thanks for noticing my humble attempt to emulate your sculptural virtuosity! [big grin] That's the Memorial to the Malarial Lepers in the Maringouin Swamp area of my Quarantine Island park. The episode dealing that that monstrosity is here:

I made a little 2-masted schooner and added it to my boat set (I also threw in a couple of buoys for lagniappe).

This schooner is styled to the late 1800s to early 1900s, just a typical small merchant. As such, it's more for beach resorts than pirate theming. It would fit right into the Caribbean and could even be used as a rum running from Prohibition days.

Schooner 01


Details of the deck:




Note she has a tiller instead of a wheel. This was mostly due to constraints of the available parts, but it's OK. Ships this side frequently had tillers instead of wheels anyway.




Details of the rigging. The topmast shrouds were the hardest things to rig.




Lighting provided by signs embedded in the windows, cabin skylights on the quarterdeck, and a few lanterns.



I was inspired to make this by Xenay, who has made a whole fleet of incredible Nelsonian warships which I highly recommend.

More Bullet Boats!!! This one is absolutely beautiful. Nice work.
Maybe I should float your boat in my swamp?
 
Uh. The Schooner comes really handy for me. Just had to use the ship in game as a ride decoration and didn't wanted to use it twice.
Really well done.

Thank you very much. But please don't break the Start Wars theme with this :)

Thanks muchos! I'm glad you think it can be in the same park as the stock galleon without looking bad in comparison ;)
 
All the ships look amazingly fantastic, but the Schooner is absolutely breathtaking... it looks so accurate as if it would be an ingame one scenery object! Just perfection!:]
