After something of a hiatus, marked by the construction of WWII vessels as
well as starships and other spacecraft, there is once again a bustle around
the slips at Port Block, as fitting out begins on new three centre section,
wide, brown-hulled ship. Having consulted the local ship's chandlers, it
seems we are well stocked in most of the requisites, but for windows.
Square and arched latice windows of the sort required for the heavy duty of
maritime service are not easily found.
Now I know they're ludicrously hard to come by, but serendipity demands that
I just check, and be sure that no-one has fallen unexpectedly into a large
holding of such windows, and is on the point of deciding what to do with them...

| (...) I might have one or two of them to trade with you. I own a Black Seas Barracuda which sits idol-like on my top shelf but my brother once got a governor ship which got destroyed when our dog attacked it *audience hushes in shock*. If I can (...)

| (...) I've been experimenting with the old 4x1x2 lattice fence pieces on end for use as ship's windows. I haven't yet come up with a solution which doesn't leave an ugly gap between the two panes, but the maths always works with LEGO eventually, so (...)
