Hey all,
I'd just thought I'd post my latest achievement in ship building. (Not many pics now, but I am going to wait a while to take more pics)
The HMS Brunswick
This ship has broken many records in my ship building carrier:
Using reference pics. Before this, I just built whatever I felt like.
Longest ship. At 124 studs, this makes it longer than even any of my spaceships!
Tallest ship. This one measures about 2.5 feet at least, cause it is a bit less then half my heights, and I am 55'6"
Most string used. I don't know how much I used, but the bowsprit alone uses more than what usually have.
Most sails. At 17 separate sails, this cleanly takes first place, with having almost twice as much as the previous contender. Not to mention most of these sails are just BIGGER than the previous contender as well.
Most decks. First one two have 2 cannon decks, though one isn't accessible
Did I mention biggest?
Enough stats for now, please feel free to comment!

Re: HMS Brunswick
Very nice captain. Now that you've set yourself some records, you need to break them.

Re: HMS Brunswick
Woah...great job, E Knight! This ship is fantasic. The color scheme is nice, the rigging is very complex, and the whole thing has a nice look to it. Well done!Yes, using ship reference pics really helps me, too.

Pretty sure that's a typo, little bro--you're not six foot, four inches tall. However, that doesn't mean your ship CAN'T be 2 feet, 6 inches, and just under half your height.
Excellent job--the rigging is particularly impressive.

Re: HMS Brunswick
Thanks for the comments!
Typo fixed. I have no idea what I was thinking when I typed that. Problem solved.

Re: HMS Brunswick
I'm glad to see you're not exaggerating now. 
What are the sails made out of? Paper or cloth?

Re: HMS Brunswick
WOW beautiful ship! I think my favorite part is the white sails. The white looks nice!

Re: HMS Brunswick
Wow, the new angles at the...stern are great !
I can just say, that I love the sails.
The best angle to look at this ship is from the back do I think.
There we can see every detail !
