hello .pirates! i am new to lugnet, and this is my first ever post, but i
have designated myself a .pirate. i have been a lurker for awhile :-( but
finally got involved. :-) i have been keeping tabs on the ship building
going on recently, and have some of my own i will put on as soon as i get
some good pics, but until then, i have some pics of my first attempts at
pirate ships.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=28098
these vessels have no names, as i did not mean to keep them around long,
they were just the precursors of things to come. i attempted to do research
into the fighting sail between the 1600s and 1840s, and i think these were
pretty good for my first try. the designs do need refinement though. the red
ship is built of 2 BSB's, and the blue ones are from 4 and 5 CC's
respectively. i wanted to go for a french VS english thing at first, but
decided that the cost to build more french ships was too much (as CC's are
more expensive per what you get as compared to BSB's). in any case, please
give me some feedback, thoughts, questions, anything, and it's great to
finally be a member!
thanks
steve
