Captain Genaro

Well kid, I think it has something to do with my job...

My father fought Russia when Japan decided to invade. After he was reported killed, my mother decided to move to the United States because she did not like Japanese aggression. We changed our names in order to avoid some of the anti-Japanese feelings at the time. Anything else?

I never said where I am from (no one bothered to ask) but if you must know I come from Japan.

If I copy the note, won't it look like the note? But if you insist, I would need someone to get me one of your writing tools.

How come everyone who is cares about me ends up dead! Why when I catch the communist basterd I'll beat the.. uh, I'll stop there for the kids. Also, the captain told me two things, He said he was in the tunnels and that the killers are using them since they lead everywhere, Next, he said he thinks that someone in the government is na vigilante. He died right before he could say who it is. I would give a sample of my handwriting but I don't know how to write using your alphabet

I would like to follow the group to the roof and see if anything looks out of place. Also, what buidings touch the apartments?

That is a beautiful ship! All the details on the decks, the masts, and rigging; they all look so realistic! One question though, what kind of glue did you use on the rigging?

Without disturbing any of the evidence, I would like to run down to Dieter's, grab some cookies, and run back to the empty apartment.

You have a great start to your city! I like the way you opened up the airport. Two things I would do would to make a sidewalk with plates or SNOT, and to add some plants to the open areas. There was an article in the newspaper that said 6 people were hospitalized after snow fell off the roof of the Cowboys football stadium (where the Superbowl was played).

Prehaps the owner made a copy? I would just like to confirm that the footprints go straight to the window from the front door. Also, are there return footprints from the window to the door?

I thought that you guys thought that she had too much yellow. Oh well, I decided to make the starboard side with the black line and I think that I like it more. Now I have to buy some new pieces to rebuild the deck and some masts. I was planning to make it brickbuilt so I know that I need some 1x1 and 2x2 cylinders; arethere any important pieces I'm missing/forgetting?

I would like to enter the empty apartment and check the doors and windows to see if any of the locks are broken.

I agree, stick to the original plan and move from there. Besides, I would like to have a cookie.

I finally got the chance to lower the gunports and get rid of some of the yellow. I have only got the chance to fix the port side so far. What do you think?

I really don't like this new general! He has too much power over the whole town. Cookies! I know where we need to search!

That looks like a very good start. I have not seen alot of Lego galleys so I can't wait to see where this project goes . Do you plan to add any oars for your ship? I think you could use the big ones from the old viking theme.

Thank you for all the comments everyone! You're giving me tons of great ideas and improvements! I have not thought much about the rigging or masts yet. I guess now would be a good time. I like some of your ideas however I don't think that I'll go with the red gunports. I would like to try and keep the colors just black and yellow for most of the ship. This does bring me to two rigging/mast questions, 1) How sturdy is the rope rigging? Could I move minifigs in it to make a brickfilm without any damage? 2) How much more do brickbuilt masts cost? I think they look better but I have yet to find a pot of gold. I compleatly agree with you. Why would I want a ship if I'm not even happy with it ? Everyone who told me to lower the gunports, what part were you talking about? Red Distance from the gundeck to top of hull. Blue Current gunport to top of gundeck.

That does sound like a fun idea. I would try to join.

Thanks everyone for the comments. My head is swimming with all this nautical information. Ah, I see what you mean Admiral. I thought you wanted the railings to sloop inwards, towards each other. I will give your idea a try. Thank you for the kind words and advice. I think I understand what you are saying about the deck. You are saying that the deck should look like this from an aerial view, right? If so, may I ask how you got the railings to be in a straight line? They don't bend with the rest of the deck. I am sticking with a three mid-section ship due to money but I don't like the idea of a ship without a top deck. I guess that I'll bend the rules a bit and make it a brig with a deck . Based off of what I am seeing... To do list 1) Less yellow 2) Lower gunports Also, I rebuilt the ladder.

Thank you for the kind words. I think that I will take your advice for the ladder. I think that it would be nice to have more curve on the railing but since I used Perfectionist's idea for the deck, I don't see how I could do that. I am going to put in a Captains desk, chair, bed, and mabey a galley. Oh, and if we have room, a cannon or two. Thank you, I'm glad that you like her. I guess I'll make it a two-mast ship but I'm afraid that I have to agree with the admiral on the ship type. I looked over both ships and I like the sails on a brig more and it looks like schooners were used as merchant ships or blockade runners, not fighting ships. Just to confirm, she is a Redcoat ship.

I finally decided to give CGH's tutorial a try and so far, I'm glad I did. Unfortaintly, due to money, I could only make my ship with 3 mid-sections and I had to use the new bow and stern pieces instead of the old which resulted in some small design changes from the original tutorial. Also, I wanted my ship to have a lot of guns without buying more mid-sections so I decided to have 3 studs between guns instead of 4. Another idea I was thinking of was to make the deck removeable. I was not set on this idea untill I saw Perfectionists' ship; that is when I decided my ship had to have a removeable deck. Enough of my blabbering, here are some pictures of the HMS Monarch. You can't really tell but the windows on the side do angle out. Thank you to CGH and Perfectionist for the tutorial and the deck removal techniques. Questions: Where should the masts go and how many should there be? I am not basing this of any specific ship so I have no idea what to do for the masts. Any ideas for the stern? I think it's a little plain right now.

I would like to know if the house had any recent work done on it. I would also like to look for any signs of recent digging, or any rocks and trees that seem to be in an odd place.

Hmm, a flag that can only be seen from the roof. I would be willing to bet that this flag is some sort of signal or it holds a hidden message Oh, don't worry Captain, it would not be the first time the government imprisoned a large group of citizens! They follow laws only when it fits their agenda.

Whoa there! I think that the cash should be kept with the rest of the evidence! I think that we have another spy running arround here. I can't help but wondering, Mrs. Jefferson fell off of a roof, was the life guard about to suffer the same fate? She was targeted for a reason and I bet the tunnels have something to do with it! I would like to look behind the building to see if I can see a ladder or fire escape that has been recently used.

I would like a chance to play. I really am enjoying all the mafia action we're seeing recently.
