Craig, your minifig ideas (as usual) sound great. I've been hankering after
the pirate with the white shirt and tan vest for this very use, in order to
build the final scene from "The Highwayman"; but he's rather rare, only from
6277 and 6286. There's a curly-mustached head that would go well on him too,
don't know where it's from. Must try the adventurer's hat, that sounds just
the thing.
Cheers, Heather

| I am rushing home to build my swashbuckler. Black adventurer hat with white plume like Scaramouche/Cyrano, black cape, cutlass, dagger and maybe a pirate pistol (flintlock) I'll use the smirking smug adventurer head. Thanks for the tips Craig. Last (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

A great poem (and song), but a little...er...*dark* for LEGO 'figs, no? Especially that final scene? (...) If (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
