hello, all.
some of you may know me from .Castle as the kid who is currently working on
CastleQuest.
well, now im also a pirateer. only, not pirate.
my interest in this comes from the battles of the british, french and spanish.
i dont really care about pirates because their one eyed one handed one legged
image is not totally true.
Instead, i have my only pirate ship, now a british ship, trying to stop the
Spanish from creating a navy of large galleys capable of ramming and quickly
destroying convoys etc, without getting hurt.
well, the point of this post is that i have run into a problem:
I have no idea how to make a ships hull realisticly out of plain old blocks.
the one hull i have is being used for the goldfinch, and its too small anyway.
does anyone have any ideas on making a medium sized hull out of regular blocks?
Thanks a ton for the help
Captain Horatio Hornblock.
