I've now torn apart set 60014, and turned it into a futuristic "floating tank" rather than the generic search and rescue appearance it had before, Parts of matching color are turning into a scarcity, so here's what I could manage.
I'm not sure how this fits into BW because I've rarely ever seen "water" ships, I'd like to eventually make a proper starship but this will do for now. Here's the "Tiger Shark class Assault Ship" a fast, medium armored green water naval vessel used to support coastal operations and attack enemy shipping in contested waters. This ship requires a crew of 5, but can carry a significant number of troops or supplies. It's crew consists of a helmsman who drives the ship, a Gunner, who controls the ships primary weapon, a Commander, who coordinates the gunner and driver as well as operating secondary weapons and communications. and two auxillary crewmen whom maintain equipment across the ship, manage repairs, operate the tertiary weapon and repel would-be boarders.
The Ship's primary weapon is a high powered, extreme long range rail gun, controlled remotely by the gunner in the cabin below
It's secondary, mid range weapon is a series of homing missiles meant for ship to ship combat or artillery support, found on the stern of the ship and controlled by the commander
It's tertiary and short range weapon is a heavy machine gun mounted on the bow of the ship
Main Pic
Overhead Pic - I deliberately gave the stern of the ship a shark fin looks as so it had a predator-like appearance to it
Inside pic - showing storage space for supplies/troops, the control cabin and engine room
Closeup on engine room
Closeup on control cabin - Right now these "Naval" Officers are unmodified coast guard, but personally I think as they play such a miniscule role in the Elkan faction, that the color scheme is fine. The Army is White Black and Orange, the Navy is White Orange and Blue, with different uniforms.

My next project in this series of "transform stock shit" is probably going to be the 60074 Bulldozer, Although I have no idea what style, or whom to give it to.
