| | As alluded to above, the whaleboats are cut down rowboats, in the manner pioneered by Richard Parsons of Port Block fame. I made a jig out of expendable (old grey) bricks secured 3 studs forward of the stern, and carefully cut through with a fine toothed saw. On the first couple I needed to use a craft knife & sandpaper to trim and tidy, but the last two – by which time I’d figured out it was better to cut from the bottom up rather than the top down – a light sand was all that was needed to get them ready for joining. I could have made the whaleboats a little longer, but I was going for the look of a whaleboat, rather than length particularly.

This ship really looks awesome. I also appreciate the very nice detailing
both in the model and its fine descriptions, while preserving the minifig
scale simplicity..
If only you wouldn’t spoil the game by cutting an authentic lego piece into
two... It could win a contest or two...

That must be what makes it “Egregious.” :)

LOL!

Seriously, nice [brig] with a great write-up, and some awesome building tips
too! Arrrrgh!

Thanks!
