Vincwat Posted January 5 #1 Posted January 5 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 ! vincwat Baker, chris watton, Old Collingwood and 8 others 11 Quote

Mercator Posted January 5 #4 Posted January 5 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. mtaylor, JeffT, Keith Black and 1 other 4 Quote

ccoyle Posted January 5 #6 Posted January 5 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.

Vincwat Posted January 6 Author #11 Posted January 6 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 😉 mtaylor, Old Collingwood, ccoyle and 4 others 4 3 Quote
