|
| Hi all, Just a quick troll for comments: I have new pictures of my rowboat-based Steam Lanuch (circa 1890-1920)--let me know what you think. (Granted, it's not just for pirates, but at least they can stand in it without having the mast whap them in (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)

And yeah, I was thinking about just modeling the tops of the boilers...but I haven't settled on a solution yet. best LFB (25 years ago, 6-Feb-00, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.pirates)

Yeah, I figured they were way too small for a ship by themselves--my thought was to install a dozen or so (for a whopping 180 BHP)...but the problem with the three-deck model is that the ship isn't full-hull, it's waterline. I wish I could (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.pirates)

Oh, I would say they look _great_ as far as a small boiler goes...in fact, they look a lot like a boiler I may get the chance to help retube at school...but it supplies steam to a 15 BHP engine...so not all that much power...and our steam car (...)
