Precursors of things to come. Wow.

4 and 5? Does that mean you have 9, or that the two ships are two
incarnations of the same parts?
Awe, envy, awe.

I'm very impressed (and will ponder the pics at length in due course). One
comment on the rigs - where you have seperate mainmasts and topmasts, the
topmast should be in front of the mainmast.
As far as the cost of CC's vs BSB's goes.... how much of a purist are you?
If you're prepared to make your own sails you can use RBR and other parts
(rigs if not hulls), to go a bit bigger.
Fantastic work on all the ships...
I can't wait for pics of the next generation!
Cheers

| (...) thank you very much! (...) actually, the cmaller one was reincarnated into the larger one. at the height, i had 6 CC's. i actually sold the large blue one on ebay to continue to fund my building of red ones, and i sold the unused CC also. (...) (22 years ago, 10-May-03, to lugnet.pirates)
