Hello hello!
My name is Benjamin Harris and I’m a new poster here. I’ve been lurking for
several years now, but I finally decided to work up the courage to share a
couple of my creations with the folks here at Lugnet.
Anyway, since both creations I’m posting today could fit nicely into either
.pirate or .castle (oddly enough), I decided posting in both newsgroups should
suffice.
First off I have a red medieval warship I built over a year ago and have barely
taken photographs of.
Here is 3/4 veiw of the front:

And here is a view of the interior with the ships catapult visible on the upper
‘castle’:

Last but not least here is the entire gallery folder (which has already,
conveniently enough, been moderated :-) ):

Finally, I have a Pirate’s fortress (or castle if you like). I suppose that the
fort could be some sort of abandoned Spanish fortification that was taken over
by Captain Red FacialHair ;) and his band of cutthroats.
Here’s the front of the fotress with 6268 in front of it for a sense of scale:

Here’s a view of some of them scurvee dawgs patrolling the roof:

And finally, here’s a picture of the bane of pirates in the Carribean, the Shark
That Can Swim Very Close To Land:

Oh yes, here is the full gallery folder for the fort/castle (and yes, it has
been moderated):

Anyway, thank you for your time and PLMKWYT. I’ll be trying to keep things much
more historically accurate from now on.

| (...) Nice work.The colour scheme is great, and the extended oars really look the part. To be pedantic, triangular foresails are not particularly castle-ish.

| Hello Ben, as a fellow lurker I say welcome! I really like your stuff. There was a thread a little while back about why pirate doesn't get built as often, I think everyone said it was that pirate needed a higher quality than the other themes. I say (...)
