 | | The return of floating boats!
|
| When I was a kid I never got any of the LEGO town sets that had floating boats, but now LEGO has new ones! (URL) third one has been out for a while, but it's not quite the same thing) (18 years ago, 23-May-07, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.town, lugnet.announce)

| Very nice! One of my faviourite ships for ages... I like the menacing narrow silhouette and even the red colour scheme works surprisingly well. Great work and God Bless, Nathan (URL) (18 years ago, 14-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, FTX)

| (...) This is a very elegant looking dual-powered vessel. Is the thin smokestack accurate to the era? I find the bley an excellent choice for the metal. I hope your recent spate of posting is a promise of more of your excellent sea-going vessels. (...) (18 years ago, 14-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, FTX)
| | | | | Armed Sidewheeler - Guerre de Roue
|
| Ahoy all, A little advanced technology from the shipwrights of Port Brique, the Guerre de Roue: (URL) More pics (URL) here>, post moderation. The Guerre de Roue was built out of parts on hand, and you can probably tell a few areas where I was (...) (18 years ago, 14-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!

| Ahoy! Another vessel from the current shipbuilding frenzy at Port Brique shipyards, the lateen rigged Adroit Main: (URL) (More pics (URL) here> post moderation). The Adroit Main is an experiment in using the ten-wide bow pieces, an exotic rig on a (...) (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !
| | | | | Re: HMS Inevitable
|
| (...) Yeah, I've been out of the loop, but I do get the impression that my old lugnet haunts get a lot less traffic these days, now that theme-focused forums are on other sites too. (I personally still like it here; maybe it's a generation gap (...) (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, FTX)
| | | | | Re: HMS Inevitable
|
| (...) Holy moley--five months without a comment?!? Outrageous! I'm always impressed by Pirate-era MOCs, in large part because I have close to zero skill when it comes to building boats. The Inevitable is a fine looking vessel with a lot of (...) (18 years ago, 7-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)
| | | | | Red Drake Black Knight Flagship
|
| (URL) This has been in my brickshelf gallery for quite a while now, but I'm pretty sure I've never made an official lugnet announcement of it. I built the Drake during my dark ages (I still built during my dark ages just didn't buy anything) and (...) (18 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.boats, lugnet.announce.moc) !!
| | | | | The Whaling Brig 'Egregious'

| Ahoy! The newest arrival in the waters around Port Brique is the whaling brig Egregious. Whalers have tended to operate further south, but Port Brique was a resupply stop for Captain Warning in his hunt for a peculiarly coloured great whale. (URL) (...)

| | | | | HMS Inevitable
|
| Well hello fellow lego people. For my 21st birthday i was blessed with a lego Black Seas Baracuda. Inevitably it ended up being modified somewhat and now well. It became the HMS Inevitable, A nice ole Escort frigate.... She is more the adequately (...) (18 years ago, 24-Nov-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)
| | | | | Re: Le Castor
|
| (...) Thanks! Individuality is something I always go for. A MOC which has even the smallest bit of story about it, is often a lot nicer to look at and keeping to do that. (...) I'm not such an authority about the real thing, and this particular ship (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)
| | | | | Re: Le Castor
|
| (...) I'm glad I got mixed up over that email cos I don't normally frequent .pirates and I would have missed a nice ship. I always think it must be hard to a do a ship differently working on the same bases but you (and Richie) show that there are (...) (18 years ago, 11-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)
| | | | | Re: Le Castor
|
| Hi Tim, Thanks! I was going to add that newsgroup but couldn't find it very quick, and thought it not very important. Well I learned it the hard way then. Thanks as well for your nice understandable directions as how to post like a man should. (...) (18 years ago, 9-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, lugnet.announce.moc)
| | | | | Re: Le Castor
|
| (...) Hi Jakob, Neither .pirates nor .boats are terribly well frequented (I saw this because I am nosy). When announcing an MOC add lugnet.announce.moc to your newsgroups and set followups to the other places eg. here you would post to (...) (18 years ago, 9-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Le Castor
|
| Hi people, I'm sorry to respond to my own post. However, I wondered, is it normal that noone responds to my topic for a week? In my eyes topics about MOCs are the most valuable, and I'm really curious. Thanks if anyone (anyone!) answers, Jakob P.S. (...) (18 years ago, 9-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)

|
| A vessel confiscated by the Galleaux navy in a time of war, with a four-cannon broadside and three masts. A studdless ship with origins in the pirates theme. This is my first (online) sailing ship, and with that, my first Lugnet post. Thank you, (...) (18 years ago, 2-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats) !!
