Hi, I'm rather new to this AFOL. I came in on Feb 14 as a way to help me
quit smoking because my wife is pregnant (Lego costs about the same as
smoking and is just as addictive). I had been buying Lego out of my comic
book store for a few years and never did anything with them until now. I
have no idea why I like the Pirates so much but so what. This was my first
try (sort of) at a MOC:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=4386
I started off trying to mimic the USS Constellation but after a couple of
days I decided to go off the instructions. I have torn this sucker
completely apart and started over from scratch about 6 times. Every day I
would build for an hour or so after work and then tear it apart the next
morning rebuilding to the point I left off the day before. This went on for
several weeks but now I'm done save a few minor alterations. (new sails, rat
lines, etc) End to end it is about 150 studs, weighs close to 25lbs. 15
cannon a side. Now I have to build a port for it. Before that, I'm building
a zoo for all my animals. You can see my aquarium on my pages.
VIVA LA LUGNET!
Jim

| (...) HOLY COW JIM, I am lucky to make a row boat with a one piece boat and two oars. It just totally floors me when I see cool stuff like this. Hold on! I am inspired I could make a canoe out of, RATTS, they made one of those too. Bear (24 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| Wow, that thing is huge! Incredible details. I really like the stairway going from the rear deck down to the captain's cabin. I like the clever use of chains all over it too. Thanks for Sharing, Jason (...) (24 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) Jim, All I can say is WOW! What a truly amazing ship. Your attention to detail and all the little touches you added are GREAT! Like the chain-guide rails on the step ladder down, and finding a way to attach dingies(sp?) without looking stupid! (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.pirates)
