    Yet more piratical space paraphenalia... —Richard Parsons
   Evening all, Last especially cross piratical space dudes page for a bit now - I have reached the limit of what I expect to be able to transport to Victoria for BrikWars at the June fest :-) There are more shots of the shuttles at (URL) some of the (...)

     (...) Hey Richard....all if fine with love and clone bricks when your budget dictates. It's better to have some clone bricks thrown into the mix than no bricks at all, don't you agree? :^) Very nice Saucy Slayer and Bill & Ted drop ships. Although, (...)

         Re: Yet more piratical space paraphenalia... —Richard Parsons
     (...) Absolutely ;-) (...) About the only things about Bill and Ted that are Lego are actually the engines, thrusters, and cockpit, all purloined from the Imperial Shuttle. For me, these are among the 'big stuff' :-) Richard Still baldly going... (23 years ago, 18-Apr-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.gaming, lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Yet more piratical space paraphenalia... —John Robert-Blaze Kanehl
   (...) Cool models! Fun + Functional ...They have a heavy duty, reinforced hull look that conveys their purpose well...namely deployment of troops during combat. I like the color scheme too...the standard gray is broken up nicely. How many troops can (...) (23 years ago, 17-Apr-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.gaming, lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Yet more piratical space paraphenalia... —Richard Parsons
   (...) Six fully armed troopers, plus three Black Guards, plus some equipment. I could probably sling in a bit more, but fully trained troopers are a bit hard to come by (as are matching minifigs :-). (...) Yup, seen it. Didn't mind it actually - had (...)

     (...) Well...if there's another 3052 around for $20 I'd be interested :) [perhaps arriving by pirate-post with the welshishish contingent in June.] Also, I'd be interested in the odd Johny thunder [or however many seem to be around] along with baron (...)

     (...) Since I've got two, I'll keep it aside for you. (...) IIRC, I owe you some anyway. But I have a small pile ready to supply the enemy (Hey am I allowed to do that?) Conversely If you have any xtreme team figs... James (who is up past his (...) (23 years ago, 18-Apr-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

      (...) What? OI! Those caught providing shelter and/or provisions to the enemy shall be, um, shall be..... shall have something REALLY nasty done to them. ;-) I'll see what I've got in the way of xtreme, but I'm not all that hopeful - not my (...)

       (...) Hi Richard, Strange but true: I find myself in need of waaaay too many pith helmets. What do you need in the way of headgear (or other materials, or cash consideration)? Cheers Richie Dulin (23 years ago, 19-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.au)
      
           Re: Yet more piratical space paraphenalia... —Richard Parsons
        (...) Cool. White helmets with black visors, red helmets with black visors, and shogun armour. Oh oh, and black hands :-) Do I see you on 25 April? Richard Still baldly musing on just how many ecpsdudes I can put in the field... (23 years ago, 19-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.au)
      
           Re: Yet more piratical space paraphenalia... —Dave Low
       (...) Hey Richie -- you _really_ need pith helmets? 'Cos I've got a <expletive indicating the presence of imperialist running dog scum deleted>-load of them that you're most welcome to pillage. Bring trades on Anzac Day. --DaveL (23 years ago, 19-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.au)

            Re: Colonial Wars (was Re: Yet more piratical space paraphenalia...) —Richie Dulin
        (...) Hmmm, I may have a slight technological advantage over you. Repeating rifles, the odd machine gun, and at least one steam powered gunboat. How do you do the bayonets? My experiments to date haven't been wildly successful. (...) I hope to see (...) (23 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)
