This has been my Quarantine project for the past few months and, now that I’m going back to work full time, I probably won’t have much time to finish it soon. It’s getting close though so I thought I’d post it. Without further ado, my first frigate.

HMS BIRCH

EDIT: 1st Update

All of the deck can be removed to see the gun deck

And the helm works! I’m pretty proud of the rope system that I was able to implement that works just like the real steering systems of the time.

Clicking on the above picture will take you to the video of it working on my Flickr

UPDATE: The sails are on!

It also appears that the BIRCH has been captured by the British.

Thanks for viewing. There are more shots on my Flickr.

As always, constructive feedback is appreciated.

On April 18th, 1775 the British Redcoats attempted to cross North Bridge on the outskirts of Concord.  Using nothing but LEGO, the highly skilled A_Goodman has recreated the battle which marked the first day of the American Revolution.

Alert the minutemen and check this one out in the LEGO Piraes Forum!

I figured as the Revolutionary War took place during the Age of Sail this was a good forum for this build.Based on the painting the build was inspired by I like to think that the early Spring trees experienced an extra rough New England Winter that year.
