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 haven’t 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 don’t have any of the prefab ship hulls--for that matter, I don’t have any ship sets--so I was wondering where I could get a few for cheap. Or, in your experience, where’s 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 I’m on this train of thought (I hope you piratical dudes don’t get especially cross with me), what are a few pointers for a beginning boat builder? I’ve been looking at some of the featured ships in the sidebar for ideas, but I’m sure there are secrets hidden in those hulls! Thanks much for any and all replies!

Yo-ho-ho! A pirate’s 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 (...)
