| | | Hi! WOW!! That's gotta be the best Lego ship I've ever seen! There must be loads of room on board! I'm working on a present day battleship (the HMS Vergara) and so far I'm using a massive Technic frame (which isn't working too well). Can you please (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.pirates)

| | | | | (...) I'm not sure how Felix constructed his, but for modern ships it's always a pain trying to get the flared bows (a reason I stay with ships from 1918 or earlier). I think I still have detailed pictures of one solution on the mini-homepage for (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.pirates)

What scale, approximately, is your HMS Queen? And how big was the real one? (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.pirates)

The ship I built is first and foremost 'minifig scale.' All else is just designed (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.pirates)
