| (...) Ack! My bad for using an uncertain referent. Overall length. (...) I'm not sure it would need to gain any, really. Maybe a bit of width at the tail (which would then be the midships), but again, only to keep the curvature. The maximum width (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)

| (...) Thanks! (...) Thanks for the suggestions... I've got some more grey plates. Some technical questions: - where should it get longer -overall, foredeck, afterdeck? - does it need extra width as well? (it would need to gain a bit to keep the (...)

| (...) Oooh! I *do* like the cut of that prow. It's very "escorty"- looking indeed. That forward mounting is quite excellent as well, and I like the raft platform aft. My only suggestion, if it's possible to do: Can you lengthen it about 50%-66%? I (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)

| 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)

|
| 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 (...)

| (...) 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 (...)

| | | | | 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)

I got a pretty good approximation of a ship screw (...) (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)

| (...) 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)
