Hey Y'all:

My NLSO was building the Armada ship when she realized that it was missing a
single yellow 1x2 modified tile with a single stud on top.  In addition to
the missing brick, she also discovered the following element left over:

No, that's not a floating brain or even an overcooked sea jelly -- it is
none other than a very badly formed spanish helmet.  It's a good thing that
we actually had the necessary helmets already or this would have been the
second problem with the set.

Some other comments she made had to do with the lack of modularity inherent
in the design of the ship hulls.  This was followed by some discussion about
how maybe the hulls should have been split in the middle allowing for wider
ships to be built.  And even though this was a small set, she wanted extra
minis (a custom spanish princess and pirate wench) and a monkey with a sabre
before she considered it finished.  I can be blamed for the last bit, having
previously told her of the recurrent "monkey with weapon" motif.
