It is finished!

After many late nights I have put the final external touches on my 28 Gun
Frigate, Misérable.

Misérable is a worthy successor to my Light Frigate, Eponine II, but has
moved the shipbuilding efforts of Port Brique to a higher level.

Innovations on the Misérable include double hull widening, six centre
sections, taller masts, grated gun deck and custom sails.

If you have a moment, check out the Misérable page at
http://www.lugnet.com/loc/au/~1285/rd/miserable .

A simple preview is available at
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/rdulin/mis/0miserable.jpg, which should
give you a taste for this remarkable vessel.

Build on! Sail on!

Good lord. Warning to all British ships: stay out of the South Pacific unless well protected... : ) Excellent work, really. A standard set for us all, I should think. Her lines very much remind me of a French frigate -- very smooth indeed. (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-03, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) THAT IS ONE FREAKIN BIG SHIP!!! I have a new project now........hehehe. On a serious note, thats a great ship. How many ship bases did it take to make it? Im really against taking apart my SES or BSB to make one, but if a RBR hull would look (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-03, to lugnet.pirates)

One of the better representations of a small frigate that I have seen. The sails have been exceptionally well-done - the proportions of squeezing in five set with the royals and sky-sails is most impressive. Another touch I like is the boat mounted (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-03, to lugnet.pirates)

Wow! Dude! DuuUUuddDDdEEee! That is one impressive ship. If you take the smaller guns into account, that's 40 guns! I love the details, such as the stacked and hanging boats. She really is a beauty. I only have one gripe: the very back. Where's the (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-03, to lugnet.pirates)

Richie, WOW, That is one awesome vessel! I really liked the masts and the sails, very detailed. This is really impressive, how much does it weigh? Congratulations on an awesome accomplishment. Jon (22 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.pirates)
