Hey Richie, that is a really impressive warship you have there. It's easily one of the finest Lego surface combatants that I've seen (right up there with Richard Parson's Escort Carrier and Mattias Martensson's Fletcher) and it's even more (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks! You can't beat SNOT building for flowing hull profiles, although it doesn't seem as good for wide ships as it does for narrow. By stepping the plate offsets (ie 1 stud, then 2, then 3, then 4 or 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4 etc) you can simulate a (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)

Well it's official, SNOT building can do just about anything! Snottler III is great -- the bow flare is especially well handled, I think. She really has the feel of a modern warship, and she's of a good relative size for one too. Brilliant work (as (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)
