I intend to try to get some pictures, but I have the world's worst digital
camera -- most close-up photos are too blurry to use. I might end up doing
35mm (since I've got a near-full roll to D&P anyway).
As for the Islanders? Well, what can I say? You were there; you stood by
while these innocent people were sold off like cattle in a market. None of
you MUGS gave any thought to their future in the pirate-ridden shores of
Queensland. None of you said "No, Sue Ann, don't do it! Can you really trust
Kerry not to build a pirate ship to prey upon these islanders?"
If you really want to help them, then I'm sure they'd be grateful for a
replacement monkey and parrot. If you want to keep those pirates from coming
back, perhaps you could send a few castles, purely for defensive purposes
you understand.
On second thoughts, I suppose I could give them Chewbacca; there'd be a lot
more meat on him than the monkey.

Hi!
I've xposted this to .pirates because, well, we in .pirates
love pirates and we love you (awwww) but a few of the .pirates
folks don't (gasp) check .loc.au...

I'm looking forward to it! It's definitely and indubitably
true that a decent Pirate ship can be made without Piratey
bits.

I'll see if I can find any zappy things when I get home.

Yes, but monkeys don't smell like Wookiee. Perhaps a bit of
seafood (genus Jarjar, species Binkus) would be better...after
all, you've got the designer of the Patented Magnificent Jar
Jar Spit [tm] right there in your own backyard. Well, not
literally, unless Peter's had a bit of trouble with the rent.
[.pirates folks, read back in the thread for the ship descrip...]

Well, I did have some piratey bits, but I generally agree with you that it
should be possible. However, what about the ratlines? I ended up with a
non-Lego solution there. Do you have a better Lego-based solution?

I managed to get 2 just-usable digital pictures (and a lot of un-usable
ones -- my macro mode is useless!). See them at:

Looks good, even though you said you don't have much pirate Lego, you have
managed to make a pretty convincing pirate ship.
Looking forward to some more pictures from your real camera.

Good work, Kerry, it certainly looks like a pirate ship should.
Those sails worked out OK, you might have to corner the market on that
material.

thank you! I am out of words at the moment... It is so good to see a that
a pirate ship can be made from semi available parts. I want to do a
Fabuland one and have been stimied from lack of parts and just plain not
knowing how to begin. Your pictures and blow by blow of construction
details will be most helpful. I could crew it with Renagade Rabbits.
