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!

Hi Andrew,
Glad you liked my unnamed village! Check out the
original post... Whew! Dusty. Um.
As for airships, you should try seeing what damage you can do with these
boat bow bricks. I dunno if you dug
around in my brickshelf folder, but I used them in my merchant airship here:
If you just gotta have the hulls, there’s always bricklink.com, but then you’d
wanna round up all the pirate-specific parts, like mast bits and rigging bits,
and the wheel, and maybe an anchor, and maybe you should just start out with one
of the Jack Stone pirate sets that are supposed to be out sometime this
summer...
Most of my inspiration for
these
two came from a video
game called Skies of Arcadia. It’s got hot
winged
pirate
ship action.
But don’t let those steer you away from the Final Fantasy style airships!
In any case, good luck building and show us what you come up with!
Kevin
