Attempts? You are entirely too modest. Lovely lines on these ships – very
smart looking ships, and nice broadsides to boot.

That's a pretty wide design window you've set for yourself, with some
significant changes in design character through it. Is there any particular
period of ship you've settled on?

Aha, those sames sorts of concerns steered me clear of both sorts back in
the days when they were available, so now I'm on to the 1:1 building... not
that I don't enjoy it! In any case, the blue can work as both French and
British if you want to turn your future building efforts to the Union
Jack... : )

Good to have you! Always good to have more shipbuilders around. At some
point (ah, those fatal last words) I'd really like to get a list going of
all the builders on .pirates and maybe their specialty, so we can keep track
as the body of builders expands.
Anyway, splendid ships, glad to have them on the LEGO sea lanes! Certainly
can't wait for the next generation!
