Ladies and gentlemen, cover your ears, the ship's whistle is about to sound....

This is too big to even comment on effectively. I could spend hours pouring ove the details of the deck and the functionality of the midship compartments alone (and probably will). Not to mention the historical detail...right down to the (...) (21 years ago, 21-Feb-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.boats)

Richie- Thanks for the comments.

Mattias- Thanks so much for the feedback--I think selective compression plus the minifig scale meant that some details (for example, using triple TT instead of the real ship's quads) were in fact sacrificed.
