Forlorn goals for the next two or three weeks:

-Sell all of my boxed overstock and parted matter (watch .auction and
.b-s-t) <-bald-faced self-important flog
-Build a 4-segment brown-hulled Pirate ship
-Build a 180-stud battleship
-World peace, transcendence, etc etc (secondary to the above)
-Change careers and become a toy speculator^H^H^H^H^H^Hwhoa, that was
close.  I almost bought a Beanie Baby!

Anyways, this is the lead-in to my question:  How long does it take for
people to build really amazing pirate ships / regular ships?  I know how
long it took me to build _Gloire_ (20 hours), but I'm wondering if
anyone has any long-term projects, etc.

I'm afraid I don't build really amazing pirate ships.  Since they are primarily
for gaming, they tend to be kept on a scale reasonably even with the stock
ships.  I clean up designs, change color schemes, stretch the odd ship into a
bigger one, but the amazing designs of other people I simply marvel at rather
than duplicate.  If it can't be done in an evening or afternoon, it isn't going
to get done.  The only ships I truly do from scratch are the little Imperial
Trading Post inspired "cutters", and they fit into the afternoon/evening
format.

A pirate town is the more likely long-term project.
