Mark brought in his utterly cool Lego replica of the Hotspur to show the Pirates class a couple of weeks ago. The Hotspur is the 20 gun sloop captained by Horatio Hornblower in some of his earlier adventures, written by C.S. Forester. Mark designed the model himself, using the ship from the television version of the Hornblower stories for his references. He said he started the project at the end of Christmas vacation and finished it on February 12.
You can see lots of details -- like into the gun deck, (because the main deck lifts off!) and close ups of the characters at brickshelf.com.
