Okay, so, it's the only fleet at the moment - I figure this will get Frank
building ships rather than collecting parts!  :-)

I'm only counting ships I have actually built, though they may currently be
in shambles.

   Put prisoners on 'em.  The Incredible [Prison] Hulk!

80 blue coats were left off the troop listing.

I have a digital camera, I suppose I should get around to documenting Da
Grund Fleet (looking at current wreckage and shuddering).

   Did I miss the actual inventory?  I can't seem to find it.
   Really, we need to get these fleets into an actual room
   (or convention hall) together.  ;)

Hmm, I'll need to list out what I've got built. I think I actually have
about 70-75 classes actually built right now (or at least mostly built).
I will have to try and find some time to build, I think I will blow by
Bruce's 104 classes pretty handily (heck, If I build all the cutters I
have parts for, I could probably come pretty close).

   I have no doubt.  Hey, do rowboats or rafts count?  Half
   a class, maybe?

Of course I may have to rent a 15 passenger van to go to Brickfest if I
can get my fleet built...

   At least, if not more.  I'm amazed at how compact you got
   your collection for the last BrickFest!

   That's going to be one crowded room if all goes according
   to plan.  It'll look like Navarino Bay in September 1827!
   (You don't want October.  It involves open flame.)

   When I get back to NJ, I plan to start building in earnest--
   I've never actually fielded a *real* 16-wide pirate ship
   (the bomb ketches don't count), and I now have enough hull
   bits to put together at least 40 or 50 classes of 'common'
   pirate ship, plus lots of cutters.

I'm REALLY hoping to display two new cutters at the Lugola meeting
Saturday.

   Would one of these be...green?  Hope beyond hope!

   best (and cursing at having to do work and not going to
   SCLF as a result)

(...) Yes and no. The two I had planned on were the two Wolfpack ships. I did do a third one in yellow and green. I will be needing to work up some different cutter designs though, the 6277 cutter has some parts which are difficult to get in a good (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)
