Hello everyone,

(if someone cares about greenhorn here  )

I've re-discovered LEGO after several years :) I have all sets from Western series, some Star Wars, but my biggest childish dream was to own the Skulls-eye-schooner. So I started searching on the internet to buy some...the price was outrageous. But I am playfull person - I started searching the alternatives. I've found this adult LEGO world and I am really amazed, that I am not alone  My girlfriend laughs to me, basicly my whole family

But to the point. Earlier than I've found this website - I made myself some sails. I bought a twill, textille collors and made sails for Black seas Barracuda. The result is great...but not perfect. The Imperial armada, Imperial flagship have difficult logos...and this is a problem...I can a draw the logos, but it is not the right way..and finally I found this page..the sails library, great tutorials - printing on artistic canvas - how simple!!! Super!!

Is here someone so kind and willing to send me a pictures of Imperial armada and Flagship sails?

I don't have any sklil with CAD, even with photoshop..so I'd be greatfull for your help.

Thanks you for your reply.

Tom, Brno, Czech rep.

 

 

I mean the accurate sizes 1:1, no fotos or real scans - I know they are in library here..

Hello Tom and welcome to Eurobricks!

I would not care too much about what people say. Lego is an amazing and rich hobby. Not much different to model trains or kits, which strangely seem to have more social acceptance. And it certainly beats drinking or smoking!

Maybe you show your folks some pictures of MOCs or larger displays other adults have made. Can't hurt to point out that you aren't the only one.

@Sails: I think Robin_IV has got your sorted out well

I agree. Lego is a great hobby and nothing to feel ashamed about. There are plenty of adults who collect model cars, trains, dolls, jigsaw puzzles etc but nobody bats an eyelid about that. You could argue that these are all adults collecting kids toys as well so I don't see why lego should be looked on any differently.
