You're right. Those pieces are good if used for their purpose, but not
anywhere else. Somehow I meant that but it just didn't come across that way.
Pirate ship hulls are the worst pieces IMHO. They look really good on ships
like the BSB or SES, but when trying to build a large-scaled ship, they are
useless thanks in part to the fact that they cannot be expanded to the sides
and that they are brown! If there were more brown pieces available, even when
building a large-scaled ship, the hulls would blend in with the rest of the
model and wouldn't be so noticable. Just take a look at Reinhard Beneke's
ship to see how beautiful a large-scaled ship can be made without using any of
the original hulls:

Definitely one of my favorite creations on the web.
