(...) "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." This kind of boat plays a central part in Apocalypse Now. Nice work! George (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: HMLS Snottler
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: HMLS Snottler
 
(...) 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 (...)

  Re: HMLS Snottler
 
(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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 (...)
