I promise this will be the last "make-up" MOC post I do. tongue.gif

So back in the summer I wanted to break free of my vignette "rut" for a little while and try something new. What resulted was a ship inspired by the tourist vessels in Golden Sun and The Curse of Monkey Island, and I named her The Attraction.

The ship is propelled by oars rather than sails in order to enhance its sight-seeing capabilities. This also keeps the crew out of the way of the tourists.

There's something on these tours for everyone, whether it's the ocean or the handsome tourguide/captain. Yes, it's very possible that you could have your own little fan club in this business, if you do it right.

There's plenty of deck space to walk around in, and some passengers even play games on board (the ball can be seen in this pic. Pardon the photography error!).

Here's the gallery:

Whoa! Very beautiful looking. Its 'attractive'. biggrin.gif I love the place where the oars come out. (Whatever its called...) Very sweet looking.

I have one of those boat frames, yet haven't done much with it.

You've inspired me! smile.gif

Nice! But I think one mast makes it look too bare, the best would be three masts)
The ship is good, excellent design. I like the head-figure idea =))
