(...) Wow! that's an impressive army. I've never seen so many pith helmets in one place. ...and thanks for bringing Space: 1889 to my attention. I love anything like that - Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Flash Gordon, etc. (17 years ago, 2-Jul-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)

Very nice, I like how the bottom of the hull is not flat, gives is a believable purpose. Very spelljammers feel to it. Now you need a steam punk foating dock to more it to. Aaron (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)

That is great. As soon as I saw the pic I thought the bow looked familiar. You have really captured the PT boat look with that bow construction. Some cool details as well such as the Little Armoury (I think) halberds as boarding pikes. I also liked (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
