Well after many, many, many problems I was finally able to get a few pictures of my models and I scanned them...as well as some of the models. And you can look at them here: (URL) did have a lot of close up shots but apparently my camera doesn't (...) (24 years ago, 9-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)

Cool model. I love building large ships. You're kind of cheating with the pirate hulls though. :-) Just out of curiosty how much does it weigh. It can't weigh too much if you managed to keep it modular. I know that from experience. What is its (...) (24 years ago, 9-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)

Yah, it's pretty light, but the bottom is incredibly solid. In the past I used to try building large ships like the ones you did but whenever I tried to pick them up...BOOM...pieces everywhere. That's a good challenge though trying to build one (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)

Well that's why you try to make it better. :) Mine is actually a modified CFV, the nose is a lot different (bottom of it needs work though), and I tried to be more consistent in going from smaller to larger, but now looking at my overhead I see (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) I'm with Scott (and others) on this one. After discovering the CFV just a few months ago (it appeared at the start of my Dark Ages), I totally lucked into trading for one -- for which I'm still incredibly grateful -- and it's a fantastic set. (...) (24 years ago, 11-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)
