Always wanted to build a model ship out of LEGO:
Click the picture or:

The ship features two decks below, one top side, 54 LEGO cannons, removable deck
plates to check out the inside. The entire models breaks into three sections to
help with transportation, construction and to better see some of the lower deck
details.
And for you castle folks out there, I came up with a nice design for a minifig
chair that would look great in any castle or middle ages inn. In this case, I’m
using it in the captain’s quarters.
Kind regards,
Ben Fleskes

| Impressive! Kind of makes me want to build the HMS Surprise, the ficticious frigate from the Patrick O'Brien novels, and more recently the movie. It's a little smaller than Old Ironsides. I'm going to bookmark that for inspiration. (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| (...) Hello Ben! that is quite a nice ship! i like the brick hull, it allows you to build bbigger ships than the lego ones do. BTW, how long did it take to get the correct hull shape? ah yes, i like the way you built up the masts, i may have to (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
