I really, really like this! It is so complete looking and has a beautiful presence and balance all of its own. Absolutely amazing work! A beautiful MOC! Thanks for sharing and God Bless, Nathan (URL) (17 years ago, 30-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)

Very nice, I like how the bottom of the hull is not flat, gives is a believable purpose. Very spelljammers feel to it. Now you need a steam punk foating dock to more it to. Aaron (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)

It became apparent very early on that I would send myself to the madhouse if I insisted on using a single color only - and that assumes that I even had the pieces I needed in the right color.

Thanks for the comments and feedback Ted. (...) I think that's a fair criticism. If I lived in a steampunk economy I'd definitely invest in dials, gauges and levers.

That is great. As soon as I saw the pic I thought the bow looked familiar. You have really captured the PT boat look with that bow construction. Some cool details as well such as the Little Armoury (I think) halberds as boarding pikes. I also liked (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
