Hi guys I was inspired by this flying island: (URL) ...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. (...)

Joel, All of your work is fantastic and impressive. I'd like to hear more about how you built the maxifigs. Is it all trial-and-error freehand? I'd love to have one of those Spidermans. :) Corey www.brickitgood.com (20 years ago, 4-Jul-04, to lugnet.town, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.pirates)

These look nice. The first looks a bit square from above. I like the use of the wall panels on the 2nd one. That looks like it would be a good basis for a class 1 ship for the pirate game. Frank (20 years ago, 30-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates)
