Lego pirate ship MOC : Making of La Grenouille

Hello everyone, This is a bluecoat French three-masted, 20 guns frigate. This ship inspired by HMS Surprise from the movie master and commander and the famous French frigate Hermione.
Actually, This is my first truly serious moc before the making of Silent Mary. This project was started when I made an upgrade of combining 2 Brick bounty and there were some enough parts left to build another ship and I realize that Lets make a good guy ship. At very first, she is a sloop like dying gull from pirate of the Caribbean. With 4 cannon ports. Later I bought another 1 set of brick bounty to be combined, and I got some more parts to play with this ship, especially ship hulls, so I started expanding the ship longer. And I also buy separately parts from bricklink. You can see she has reddish brown ship hulls at first. but I don’t like the brown color go with dark blue and grey. So I throw brown ship hulls away and change to the white color which is match to the blue coat color scheme. And it become to this ship right in front of you.
For the masthead, I use a battle goddess from collectable Minifigures series 12.
For those Technic pieces, I designed them for some play feature or just display. It is like pulley for cargo loading. and there are two of them.
To access to the lower deck, for human. Just lift the floor panels off. There are four of them. But at the back, its need to remove those fences off then lift up the floor panels.
Inside, I really love these side wall lanterns. I use clear and transparent yellow stud pieces.
The cannon, there are 20 guns ports for this ship, and some comment ask me why I don’t use the original lego spring load cannon. It can be use, just stick some modify plate under there. But The reason is its too big, the gun barrel is too big. And when it’s on the ship from the outside, it’s just look like a fat guy inside air duct. So the smaller one look more realistic.
And the storage room to open and close, you have to clear all cannons away the door moving path, before open and close. You can keep cargo like food, rum barrels or gun power inside.
The rudder can be moved but cannot be controlled like in Skull eye schooner and Old Imperial flagship.
For String, I don’t know what kind it is but its look like a Japanese string. I’m not sure.
