Hi all,

Since I haven't had any plastic sailing ships to buy for a while, I've put the money into buying plastic with which to make a sailing ship.

To be precise, I've been building a giant model of the sixth-rate frigate HMS Enterprize (1774) out of LEGO bricks! It is scaled to LEGO minifigures (1:38.4), so it measures about 5 feet from bowsprit to spanker boom. One thing I can say definitively is that I learned an awful lot about rigging this way!

Looks like I did manage to complete my deliverable before Ares

Little nervous putting it in front of people that know their ships, but I hope you like it!

Now that this is done, I'm ready for Ares to get the SGN ball rolling again!
