|
| Lindsay, Oh my gosh! (Thud!) What an awesome job. It reminds me of when I was on the U.S.S. Missouri when Lynn and I went to Hawaii. I thought it was really weird to have a wooden deck on such a large battleship until I found out the reason. I will (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jul-00, to lugnet.boats)
| | | | | New Capital Ship: HMS Queen
|
| Hi all, In anticipation of my being Lego-less in the upcoming year, I decided to make use of these designs I've been scratching out for the last six months and build a new capital ship. It's not _Gloire_ or any modification thereof, but rather a (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jul-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, lugnet.general) !

| (...) I'm still a fan of using the 1x4/2x2 brick hinge to simulate the bow--I'm experimenting with four-section variable curve bows, but I don't have the construction room to build it up as I'd like (I had a 48-wide ship that was doing OK). So I've (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jul-00, to lugnet.boats)

| Phase II Construction; all turrets in situ, all decks but bow complete, and both funnels erected. I'm now reaching the point where I don't have enough room in the apartment to take a good picture of the darn thing. The polemast is only there as a (...)

| | | | | Curved Bow
|
| I've found a good way to make curved bows, like on the Titanic. Take a heck of a lot of 1x2 bircks, build two walls of the same length, attach them at a 90 degree angle, then bend the wall to attach to two other walls, to make the curved walls. (I (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jul-00, to lugnet.boats)
