Well Richie, that’s certainly a ‘big’ ship there.
However, one sidenote: The name should be ‘Dodelijke Klompschoen’ (notice the
extra e) I am not exactly sure what the name is supposed to mean since
‘Klompschoen’ is not an existing dutch word. ‘dodelijke’ means ‘deadly’,
‘schoen’ means ‘shoe’ but ‘klomp’ has two different meanings: ‘Clog’ or
‘lump/slug’
So the tranlation should be: ‘Deadly Clogshoe’ which is quite silly or ‘Deadly
Lumpshoe’. That sounds just as bad in my opinion......
And completely off-topic:
In your Custom wide-hull thread you said that the use of more than 4 16-wide
center hullpieces makes a ship look too narrow. Well, I’ve build** quite alot
of pirate ships, including one with five centerpieces and it has quite the
lengthwith proportions of a real 18th century ship.
** Since I do not own a single real LEGO piece I build solely ‘virtual’ on the
computer using LDraw/LeoCAD
Unfortunately, I’m still missing the virtual parts for the mast middle piece and
the 27-long rigging. When these are available I will post some images of my
ships........

I did mean to include a note/apology to dutch speakers in my post, but forgot to add it in all the excitement of the moment. (...) No I did not!!! What I said was (...)
