Very interesting thread and ideas indeed!
I'd love to be able to get a ship where you can add extra sections to build a true "ship of the line".  :captain:

That would be the dutch ship "Vasa."


If built to original spec it would have fared alright in the water, but the king wanted an additional gundeck.  The engineers were too scared to insult the king to protest and simply did what he asked even though they knew it would mean their doom.  As soon as it set sail it capsized.

All correct, except the "Vasa" was not Dutch but a Swedish vessel.
It sank in 1628 in the harbour of Stockholm (Swedish capital), and the very well preserved wreck was salvaged in 1961. It is been kept on display in a museum since then.

oops sorry i accidentally said it was dutch because of the dutch-style stern and then the fact that the "flying dutchman" from the pirates movie was based off it.   thanks for the correction :)

Hmmm… Now that you mention Stockholm, I do remember something about my mystery ship being associated with that city…
¿Was VASA profiled in national Geographic or Smithsonian magazines?

So don’t add on sections and decks. Problem solved.;)

I understand your love for scale, but playmobil is toy ::) ... I think your project is very cool, but geobra would never produce it the way it is. To think it viable to produce it, it should be at leas a little smaller ...

But it's an awesome project! :yup:

¡Make her as small or as big as you want her! ¡That’s the beauty of it! Make her a bow and stern long and one deck (bare minimums), or 25 feet long, 3½ feet wide, and 2 feet deep and actually use her as a kayake… Well, maybe not THAT far out…

a modular design would also be conducive to some playmobil aircraft carriers.  btw, is it part of playmobil's philosophy to NOT make warcraft at all?  Sorry for being ignorant, but I just now realized there are no playmobil tanks, fighter jets, or military crafts that I can recognize, save for old tallships armed with cannons..
