A month back or so, I was challanged to build a minifig-scale tall-ship. And after a month that was very rough, I am finally finished.
Sitting at 122 studs long, and assuming 1 stud = 1 foot, then this ship is in pefect minifigscale, or as perfect as I could get.
Source material I used came mostly from here.

Nice job!
Some folk we never forget

Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live

Stunning detail, the thumbnail makes it look like a picture from real life! Keep up the good work!

Re: The Lynx
This is a wonderful MOC. I love all the rigging work you have done.

Re: The Lynx
Awesome ship, EK. Exceptional!
My favorite bits are the rigging and the angle of the masts. That and the fact that it is minifig scale.
Well played,
Josh

Re: The Lynx
Good work, EK. The rigging also stood out to me, especially. Looks a lot better than my first attempt at a ship.
*Edit* I just read the interview on TBB. For some reason I missed the other ship's you've built. Good lord, son.

Re: The Lynx
Really nice work, those masts are awesome. I hope we will get to see this in person at the next meeting.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Re: The Lynx
Thanks for all the positive feedback!
I am quite proud of the rigging. It took a little while to do it (And even longer to get around to it), but I am happy with the result.
Wlister: I guarante I will bring this to the next meeting.'
Josh: Thanks again for putting this on TBB!
