Which is a pity... there have been a few, though.
The big issue is hulls - the LEGO hulls are not wide enough to render a ship
of the line easily. Lots of people have considered cutting them though...
and I recall a claim that it had been done (but no pics were forthcoming).
Ships of the line have less play value than the smaller ships. Frigates, in
particular, get to go to interesting places and do interesting things.

That's a nice little brig you have there! More modern looking than the BSB...
