Hi guys
I was inspired by this flying island:
http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=25111 ...to make one of my own.
I havent built it yet due to space constraints, but I do have a few ideas
floating around. ;-)
Then I got to thinking I might want to try an airship to go along with it. I
dont have any of the prefab ship hulls--for that matter, I dont have any ship
sets--so I was wondering where I could get a few for cheap. Or, in your
experience, wheres the best place to get them? Or maybe I should look to get
a complete set? I mean, having never purchased, let alone build, a boat/ship
before, I may just want to do this to get all the right bits?
And while Im on this train of thought (I hope you piratical dudes dont get
especially cross with me), what are a few pointers for a beginning boat builder?
Ive been looking at some of the featured ships in the sidebar for ideas, but
Im sure there are secrets hidden in those hulls! Thanks much for any and all
replies!
Yo-ho-ho! A pirates life for me!
Andrew

| (...) Hi Andrew, I think it's neat that you're going to be building pirate ships! I'm not sure if they will be the "flying" type or the ordinary, "water" types, though :) If you're building the "flying" type, I wouldn't bother building hulls out of (...)
