(...) Hi Shiri, There may not be any one piece midsections for a TC ship hull, but as you know, you can always create your own. I created a page that shows the results of doing just that. Check it out: (URL) think the results are pretty nice! And it (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jun-00, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Don't we all, Corrine. It's too bad the the Armada subtheme didn't have more legs. A 16-wide Blue and white ship would have given the Armada a little weight, as would a nice coastal seaport, or a fort of some kind. Of the Armada sets that did (...)

(...) Hi, Me and my friend made a brick ship when we were 10 (5 years ago). It is so easy! For the base, all you have to do is start with a 2 stud wide keel, however long you want it. Then, on top of that, add a 4 stud wide layer and make it 2 studs (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.pirates)
