| | | Hi, Recently I built a pirate canon after having seen some pirate stuff while surfing on Brickshelf. Here is the result: (URL) 1) You can visit my Brickshelf galery for more pictures: (URL) 2) I also wrote an article on the Freelug (French LUG) site (...)

| | | | | A most impressive cannon. If scale is correct, it would be a 32 pounder. I like the use of the hand for a wick, perhaps a tan hand would five the same effect, but not stand out so much. All in all an impressive piece, nicely done. Christopher (...) (18 years ago, 6-Feb-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| | | | | | | (...) Welcome Christopher, That's a nice gunboat! The belville rowboats work well stern to stern, and give a decent size for a gunboat. The cannon seems to sit a little high... would it be possible to get it down further into the hull? I'm not sure (...) (18 years ago, 6-Feb-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| | | | | | | Nice work! I especially like the simple rammer and Mr Determination. I wonder if the Coxswain shouldn't be standing though? It looks a little awkward having him sit at the tiller. I think standing is more correct so he can actually see where he is (...) (18 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| | | | | | | | | Folks, I have modified my gunboat by taking your suggestions and expanding her a little bit. I placed a larger gun on her bow, raised the Coxswain up so he is a little taller than the oarsmen and I added a lantern off of the mast like one I saw in a (...)

Each time through, I am struck by how good POB really is. Would love to see the beloved Surprise in (...) (18 years ago, 9-Feb-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
