Hello hello! My name is Benjamin Harris and I'm a new poster here. I've been lurking for several years now, but I finally decided to work up the courage to share a couple of my creations with the folks here at Lugnet. Anyway, since both creations (...)

(...) Nice work.The colour scheme is great, and the extended oars really look the part. To be pedantic, triangular foresails are not particularly castle-ish. Also, you can avoid fabric sails fraying if you glue along the cutting line (PVA glue is (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jul-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Hello! (...) Welcome, this courage is always appreciated! And I don't know if much courage is needed to poste here. Nobody will rip off your head if he doesn't like your creations. And nobody has to be ashamed still playing with LEGO: We all do that (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jul-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Actually, I debated for some time whether or not to retain the foresail. In end I opted to do so simply because it gave the ship a bit of length and added a bit of 'structure' to the front the the vessel without me needing to expand the front (...)

(...) Lol, well, I've been active on many online communities in my time with most of them being oh so much less friendly than Lugnet. However, posting on Lugnet was the first time I ever consented to give my full legal name away online. I know that (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jul-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Actually, I've been really frustrated with black. It's nearly impossible to photograph just like you said. Still, it looks very good in person and so I'll probably continue to use it in creations. (...) Thank you. Actually, my reasoning for (...)

Hello Ben, as a fellow lurker I say welcome! I really like your stuff. There was a thread a little while back about why pirate doesn't get built as often, I think everyone said it was that pirate needed a higher quality than the other themes. I say (...)

Greetings Ben! (...) Glad to have you -- like everybody's said, it does us good to have more and more variety in the contributions we see! (...) That's just plain cryptic.

(...) Thank you. I had originally planned to make this a sailing ship for the 'Bulls' theme, but as time went on I realized the colors didn't fit too well with the Bulls.
