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 (...) (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)

(...) Great design, Kai. To build a poat with bricks alone is no easy task... well done!

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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

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)
