This has been in my brickshelf gallery for quite a while now, but I'm pretty
sure I've never made an official lugnet announcement of it.  I built the Drake
during my dark ages (I still built during my dark ages just didn't buy anything)
and have been constantly improving it over the last 6+ years.  The pictures I'm
linking to are its most recent and final inception as seen at NWBrickCon '06.  I
say final because I've already begun to dissasemble it since these were taken;
it's a great ship but it's high time its pieces were used elsewhere.  Chances
are some of them will find their way into the Drake Mark II. :)

I've always liked the medieval ship concept (even tried a small one myself) and this is one of the best I've seen! I like the imposing bow, overall form, and even the slightly excessive heraldry of the colour scheme. Great work. The black knights (...) (18 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
