(...) Ben, we have _got_ to hear the story of this! I used to make paddle "steamers", using Electical tape and Lego (the tape seals the Lego up quite well...except across the bottom...)

(...) Well, no actually. My next water project will be a ferry (Kinda like the ferries that are located in Estonia). When I built Seaborn Brick, I was hooked on the "real life scale" Type of model. I can never go back to the "six wide building" Lego (...) (25 years ago, 2-May-00, to lugnet.boats)

(...) Do you mean at minifig scale or not? I mean: Shall the boat accomodate minifigs or not? I would agree with you that building a small model to have basically the same features would be an interesting challenge. Sure, building large models is a (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.boats)
