Greetings Ben!
| |
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.

Glad to have you -- like everybody’s said, it does us good to have more and more
variety in the contributions we see!
That’s just plain cryptic. I can picture it coming out of the mist... : ) Very
nice use of the grey Time Cruiser hull -- the way you’ve got the colors set out,

much more historically accurate from now on.

Great stuff! And don’t trouble yourself about the ‘accuracy’ if you don’t want
too. Build as you please -- I’m pretty sure if it’s got some brand of cannon, a
bit of swash buckling, and maybe some sails, .pirates will accept it quite
happily.
Cheers,

| (...) Thank you. I had originally planned to make this a sailing ship for the 'Bulls' theme, but as time went on I realized the colors didn't fit too well with the Bulls. I'm pleased with how it turned out, but I'm still unsure of which lego castle (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jul-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)
