I was fooling around last night and I think I hit upon a pretty awesome
idea. First, take the hands off of the 'fig of your choice. Thread the
hand peg through the top of the end stud of a dark gray 17 stud long chain.
The hands won't reattach all the way, but they should hold on ok as long as
they aren't jostled too much.
As a variation, I have two pirates rowing two dinghys for bluecoats and I
have them chained to the boat this way:
1. Gather together a 1x1 gray brick w/four sidestuds, one 1x1 round gray
brick, two nozzles/faucet pieces in gray, and one 1x4 gray tile.
2. Place the 1x1 gray brick on top of the 1x1 round brick.
3. Attach the nozzle pieces on opposing sides so that the narrow ends point
down.
4. Center this creation in the middle of four studs with the chain from
your prisoner looping under and around the base making sure the chain is in
between the narrow ends of the nozzles and the base of the 1x1 brick.
5. Take the outer edge of the loop of chain and throw it over the top of
the 1x1 brick.
6. Put the 1x4 tile on top of the 1x1 brick to secure the prisoner!
This looks great and it doesn't take up much space! Have fun!

Cool. My attempts at this had always failed miserably. Expect to see these
methods showing up at Port Block. I have almost enough convict figs to make
a work detail ;-)

Still baldly going...
Check out Port Block at http://www.hinet.net.au/~rparsons/port/
Note the change in URL - Port Block is moving (to new and larger
accommodations)
Do adjust your set.

This would also look great for castle dungeons. You could have a really old man,
with no headwear on (bald, you see), a wizzards beard and a sutable torso etc.

Yeah! That is a good idea. I've got an 'old shipwrecked pirate' that's got
the beard on over the red ragged-shirt torso, and it looks pretty good. (It
even covers up the knife completely, so you don't need to worry about an armed
prisoner in your dungeon...)

And now for something completely different.....
Monty Python's The Lego Grail.....
A figure outfitted in black and blue armor, crested w/a black hawk, shouts
insults and taunts from high atop his Yellow Castle wall, waving his arms in
obscene gestures....
"I CRAPP and BURP in your general direction you silly Junior Kaaaaa-nigggettts"
A giant Technic trebuchet snaps forth launching one of Dave E's super
chickens and a cow over the bright yellow wall, crushing timmy, jar jar, and
Basil the Batlord
<THUMP>
King Leo yells "Flee, runaway!" and is followed by his paige aniken clicking
a naboo seashell.....
Later that day.....
"we are no longer the Knights who say kneeee....We shall hence forth be
known as the Knights who say MOOOO....mooooo...moo...."
(This movie preview is NOT brought you by Castle World which is a self
governing autonomous collective.....Thank you)

Thanks, John, for the best laugh I've had all week!
That was very creative writing, shall we push on to the castle Anthrax?

Unfortunaltely, I don't have a chain, so I can't use the shackals, but the
idea is really cool!
