  Re: Continuation: HMS Queen
 
(...) wow. I wish I could make funnels like those! Great job Lindsay! *is still drooling* Now then, where did I put those lifeboats..... Erin -- (24 years ago, 27-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)
 
  Re: Curved Bow
 
(...) I'm still a fan of using the 1x4/2x2 brick hinge to simulate the bow--I'm experimenting with four-section variable curve bows, but I don't have the construction room to build it up as I'd like (I had a 48-wide ship that was doing OK). So I've (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jul-00, to lugnet.boats)
 
  Continuation: HMS Queen
 
Phase II Construction; all turrets in situ, all decks but bow complete, and both funnels erected. I'm now reaching the point where I don't have enough room in the apartment to take a good picture of the darn thing. The polemast is only there as a (...)

  Re: Pirate Gaming
 
(...) My apologies--I tanked them to make room for auction pics. I just have to figure out what my brickshelf password etc. are! best LFB PS: I'm leaving the East Coast on 9 August, so I probably won't make a PirateFest. (24 years ago, 21-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)
 
  Re: Pirate Gaming
 
(...) Hmm, we never did manage PirateFest '00 (though we had a good time at Brickfest 2000). Should we try for Piratefest '00 (can we manage it before Lindsay heads off?)? (24 years ago, 20-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)
