Wonderful work on the ship, but the name is just plain lazy this time. Come on, you can do better!

[General Roos]

Beautiful!  Thanks for sharing!!!

[Captain Blood]

Lovely. They look so much better with sails and rigging than bare masts, but I just can't be bothered to fit mine out...

The Good Whore???  (well, IF you say it fonetically it sounds like that in French  )

It's not anything in Spanish, the closest thing would be "the well Hours" or "Good hours". the play is based on English word "Lesbian" and the English word "whores". (will probably get banned from posting these words in text) It's part of the story, no more.

Indeed, the fitting out is quite nicely done.  Really like the way you set up the sails.

Gives the model real character!

Lovely

Beutiful ship, as one have come to expect from you, hehe. But the name... oh dear :S

In French, the easiest translation would be "Les bonnes heures" or "Les bonnes putes" (for the second one). To get in "bien" (which is "good" as a name, as opposed to "bon", which is good as an adjective) you could use "Les heures du bien".

And the ship looks nice. That she does.

Lovely ship, congratulations 

... With such a name... Is it an all female crew ? As in the old french song "Les Filles de La Rochelle": "a crew of 15 years old girls" 

An old version of this song, for children 


...and as you can guess there are also some VERY dirty versions of this song but I would be banned too.
