Here are the links to the eight pictures I have so far of my 200 stud ship,
the HMS Jolly Roger.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6512

The ship has several features. The top deck comes off completely, and there
is a moveable panel located at the stern as well, that lifts up to reveal
the 3-story captain's quarters. The blue roof located towards the bow of the
ship hinges open to reveal the brig, with 3 prison cells holding imperial
officers as well as the winches for the twin anchors. At the very front of
the ship is mounted a huge seige cannon which I built from a strange
amalgamation of lego pieces interlocked in bizzare ways. I happy with the
result, however, and I think it is a suitably intimidating weapon. The
tallest mast rises about 3.5 feet, and the entire model is about 5.5 feet
long. There are six life boats that hang from the sides of the deck, and
space for 22 cannons (though I only have 11, enough to fill one side). I
have been steadily working on this model for months, though it is still not
complete (I plan to eventually create detailed crew quarters in the hollow
section of the main hull). Anyway, please take a look, and post any comments
you have.

(...) and one part Pirate ship. I have a few questions: -Can we get any closer pictures of the bow and stern? -For a ship this size, you've done an admirable job of incorporating the patterned hull pieces; but have you considered rebuilding the hull (...)
