Thanks for the kind words--but I gotta ask, "What Star

don't remember using any.

Umm, Lindsay?  Smokestacks?  7150? (http://www.lugnet.com/pirates/?n=729)

Either you're making one of those extra subtle jokes the like of which seem
to get me keel hauled, or you need some sleep man ;-)

Ah. They're not *exclusively* SW elements though, unlike the laser
cannon thingies & cockpit canopies.

I would love to see the companion vessel as well...the
integration of everything from classic windows to Pirates
to Star Wars elements is a testament to your creativity...

Shipbuilding can keep one awake, and take one a bit outside one's envelope,
this I know, but there is a point where one must simply say, 'If I don't go
to bed now, I will be too tired to build tomorrow'

Oh, and La Gloire?  Glorious.  Did I mention that?  I don't know, it all
runs together.  Let's see....it's 1.44am AESST.  You think maybe now is when
*I* say to *myself* 'If I don't go to............

Tony beat me to the explanation of the SW comment...I included the stacks
and the Qui-Gon head as SW elements,forgetting that other Castle and Ninja
theme sets use the 4x4 rounds as wheels...

Ah.  On the Qui-Gon head, you've got me.  But the other parts are also known from
many other sets--especially the big shuttle from several years ago, that had
*six* (!) of the half-cylinders and a bunch of 4x4 rounds.

Gadzooks, I'm swimming in dkgrey 4x4 rounds now.  It's kind of nice.  Now...on to
building something even BIGGER.  I've got to buy more brick tubs, and maybe some
baseplates.
