This has been in my brickshelf gallery for quite a while now, but I'm pretty
sure I've never made an official lugnet announcement of it. I built the Drake
during my dark ages (I still built during my dark ages just didn't buy anything)
and have been constantly improving it over the last 6+ years. The pictures I'm
linking to are its most recent and final inception as seen at NWBrickCon '06. I
say final because I've already begun to dissasemble it since these were taken;
it's a great ship but it's high time its pieces were used elsewhere. Chances
are some of them will find their way into the Drake Mark II. :)

It was very impressive in person but it shows how sometimes things slip by. I
never noticed the great figurehead the whole weekend. I really have to learn to
take my time and look at the details!
Well done.

That’s a most impressive flagship. Very ornate, but also quite plausible, and
nicely shaped.
The gaff arms on the mizzen perhaps look a bit modern compared to the lateen
arms on the forward three (!) masts, but otherwise, most impressive indeed.
Spotlighted.

Xposted to .pirates too, for good measure.

I’ve always liked the medieval ship concept (even tried a small one myself) and
this is one of the best I’ve seen! I like the imposing bow, overall form, and
even the slightly excessive heraldry of the colour scheme. Great work. The black
knights deserve a massive presence in every military arena ; )
Thanks for sharing and God bless,
Nathan

Then maybe you should call it your gray ages... :-)
