Also, at 7 sections she doesn’t look at all canoe-like. Hmmm....

I entirely agree. Kurt has done a few things that I would have discounted
out of hand if I was building a ship myself (the hull length, the size of the
tops, the double width hull extension from below, the 2x1 slopes from the top
rather than 3x1).

I tried many things with leocad, trying to get a “look” both in profile
(cross-section) and abeam.

But the outcome is just stupendous. There are times when one sees at a model
(very few times in a life, more’s the pity) and it quietly and
comprehensively explains itself, what it is and what it does. One forgets
about the fact that its a model and finds oneself drawn to thinking about the
real object, its dimensions and its elements. This is one of those times.
Nice work Kurt.

WOW! what can I say... thanks.

Leaves my best models bobbing about in the turbulence of her wake :-).

I looked at yours too!!

Other posts have picked out some of the dimensions of this, and I more or
less agree all round.
I’d just add that she’s beautiful. Its enough to make a minifig sailor’s eye
well up with tears of joy.
|
MORE WOW! it’s just a lego ship.

I have crews at Port Block already signing up for
passage to where ever it is that she berths, in hope of finding a way to
serve aboard her.

The captain yells “Prepare to repel boarders!!”
thanks again for the high praise.
