Hello from Waterloo (Belgium)

[Vincwat]

Hello everyone,

 

I am a new member. I have been scrolling through the forum pages a lot lately and I decided to join your community.

As a child i enjoyed playing with Lego pirate ships and I was fascinated by model ships made by one of my parent’s friends.

I am 40 years old now and I am back at building Legos.

I intend to build a model ship replica using Legos, but I will need all the information i can find to make it accurate and give it a proper rigging.

 

Happy new year to all of you !

Welcome to MSW, glad to have you aboard.

Welcome to the site, originally from Uccle, Bruxelles. I have a good friend who reside in Braine l'Alleud who is also a modeler. Great site with people with a lots of experience, depending of the type of ships the rigging can vary . There are books tracing on the subject, some are out of print but easily available on line from use book dealers.

Welcome! New myself, from Norway. A Lego sailing ship model; sounds like it could be an interesting project!

Welcome! We've actually had at least one model displayed here that was built from Legos. Some Lego ships are quite impressive. I think it'd be quite the challenge to find just the right combinations of bricks to create a ship's many and varied structures.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

I am gonna start a log once my project takes shape.

Indeed, Waterloo is a very interesting place. Visited by people from everywhere around the world but very little frenchies. I wonder why 😉

Welcome to MSW!  I'd love to see a lego build like you describe.  I hope you will do a build log here when you start your project.
