Well Richie, that’s certainly a ‘big’ ship there.
However, one sidenote: The name should be ‘Dodelijke Klompschoen’ (notice
the extra e) I am not exactly sure what the name is supposed to mean since
‘Klompschoen’ is not an existing dutch word. ‘dodelijke’ means ‘deadly’,
‘schoen’ means ‘shoe’ but ‘klomp’ has two different meanings: ‘Clog’ or
‘lump/slug’
So the tranlation should be: ‘Deadly Clogshoe’ which is quite silly or
‘Deadly Lumpshoe’. That sounds just as bad in my opinion......

I used an online translator. The idea was ‘Deadly Clog’ (which is quite
silly). I did mean to include a note/apology to dutch speakers in my post, but
forgot to add it in all the excitement of the moment.

And completely off-topic:
In your Custom wide-hull thread you said that the use of more than 4 16-wide
center hullpieces makes a ship look too narrow.

No I did not!!! What I said was “While I still maintain my
view that six hull sections isn’t
necessarily canoelike, what spurred me to do this cutting was the desire for
more deck space.”. Click on the link to see my views on ‘too narrowness’.

Well, I’ve build** quite alot of pirate ships, including one with five
centerpieces and it has quite the lengthwith proportions of a real 18th
century ship.
|
Absolutely!

** Since I do not own a single real LEGO piece I build solely ‘virtual’ on
the computer using LDraw/LeoCAD
Unfortunately, I’m still missing the virtual parts for the mast middle piece
and the 27-long rigging. When these are available I will post some images
of my ships........
|
Cool.
Cheers
