  Re: HMLS Snottler
 
(...) Thanks, Geordan I've still got to get this new camera sorted out. I think I need to work on the lighting. (...) The Olbrook was built after a visit to Holbrook, NSW, and inland town named after a WWI submarine captain. They boast the complete (...)

  Re: HMLS Snottler
 
Hey cool! It's hard to see what's happening sometimes, the pics are a tad unclear, but it looks really good none the less! I love the deck guns, really neat. The hull looks really great as well, I was peekin' around in your Gallery a bit, your (...) (23 years ago, 14-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)
 
  HMLS Snottler
 
I've just uploaded pics of my first modern(ish) military vessel to Brickshelf. The HMLS Snottler has been described (by someone who knows more about such matters than me) as a Vietnam era river boat. It's got a medium sized gun on the foredeck, and (...) (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: Spanish Galleon
 
(...) S@H bulk bricks :) (23 years ago, 9-Oct-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)
 
  Re: Spanish Galleon
 
(...) yep its pretty cool you have enough brown bricks to do that. (23 years ago, 9-Oct-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)
 
  Re: Spanish Galleon
 
(...) Great design, Kai. To build a poat with bricks alone is no easy task... well done! BTW, isn't it Columbus' Day in America? :-P The only thing I *could* point out as *doubtful* are the colours (flags). I am unsure about this, but spanish' ship (...)

Ships made of bricks are cool. (: (23 years ago, 8-Oct-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)
 
  Spanish Galleon
 
Ok, This is my first lego ship I have ever built. I have done this purely for school. It is a 16th to mid 17th century Spanish Galleon. The galleon in real life has over 40 oridnaces on board, unfortunately due to costs I cut that to about 15 or 16. (...) (23 years ago, 8-Oct-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)  
 
  Re: I'm "Screw"ed!
 
(...) Of premade parts, Larry's solution (the windmill fan) will probably look best. But if you're feeling adventurous, you might try to make one from a clutch of 3x3 plates with one round corner. I got a pretty good approximation of a ship screw (...) (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: I'm "Screw"ed!
 
(...) The technic propeller (which I can't find in Partsref unfortunately, but is used on the tail of the 8412 Wasp) is 9 wide. You can mount two back to back on an axle so they are only 1 deep. Problems with this are that you can only have 4 blades (...) (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: I'm "Screw"ed!
 
(...) That'd be pretty cool-- I think the propellor would end up being something like 3 bricks tall/thick using that scheme? (I think each step/"blade" is what, 2 plates thick?) That might be just about right for such a large propeller... DaveE (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: I'm "Screw"ed!
 
(...) Outback Airstrip windmill blades? About the right shape except the blades aren't slanted but that's minor. (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: I'm "Screw"ed!
 
(...) Try one of the spiral staircases from the new HP sets. :) James (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)
 
  I'm "Screw"ed!
 
I need help on the Submarine's screw. Propeller for the un-navy terms. It needs to be about 8-10 wide, and have 5-8 blades. :) THanks In advance. Rick (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: Name That Apparatus
 
(...) Looks like a DOPPLAR Radar dome to me. Rick (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats)
 
  Re: Name That Apparatus
 
(...) I'm almost certain it is a protective cover for a radar dish. JohnG, GMLTC (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats)

There are several pictures on this page about a very cool demonstration of international cooperation: (URL) one of you boat-heads tell me what the big, nearly spherical object is in the right upper quadrant of this picture: (URL) Dave! (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats)
 
  Re: Narrow "Dutch" buildings.
 
(...) Yep! That’s the one! Excellent!!!! I would have replied earlier, but I am afraid that I was so inspired by it all, that I sat and built one of the buildings (until about 1:30 in the morning!). Previously, I had bought and sold Lego on Ebay; (...) (23 years ago, 29-Sep-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build)

Ok just email me and I'll email you the pics. They are set to 800x600 size (nice and convienient for desk top walpapers :) ) Derek (...) (23 years ago, 29-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.boats)
 
  Re: Cross setion of the SSN
 
(...) EEK! Yes!!!!! If you are willing to part with those pictures and/or scan them in to the computer I would much much appreciate it!!! I have yet to design the back quarter, with the gradual slope down to the screw!! Please!! THank you!!! much (...) (23 years ago, 29-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.boats)
