Nah, don't do that (but do bring it for the display, will you be able to bring
the Gloire?). I'll probably bring some stuff and we can slap some ships
together at the last minute if necessary. I've got some unopened 6280s (plus I
started into an attempted mod on one) and I've got tons of stuff to build
6268s.

My fleet which is in mostly useable right now includes:

4 6277 cutters
3 cutters on the same lines as 6277
1 4 wide cutter
3 6268
1 6250
1 Green Menace
1 class 2 using 6493 hull and bow detail
2 6280
3 6271
3 6274
1 6289
1 6285
1 Red Seas Barracuda (red/dk grey/white modified BSB)
1 6286

I've also got a 2nd 6285 which is sort of in shambles. I'll probably make a
few more cutters (they go together pretty quick once you've built a couple - I
don't even need to look at the instructions really any more).

  Although I have those three 6277/6 baseplates, I have no
  installations yet; should I bring the plates anyhow?  (I'm
  not averse to (shudder) taping my name underneath them.  I
  may also have my mother pin my mittens to my coat...er, not
  really.)  I was considering building some kind of island or
  small unfortified port-of-call, but because I've just moved
  I'm not entirely sure if I'll have the time.

  Given that I have a minimum of time, Frank, how would you
  like me to prioritise my construction?

If you find the time, and have the parts you might build a cutter or two, or
if you want to do something more major, play around with a port or island (it
would be nice to have a couple interesting islands also).

I'll probably bring a fair bit of my parts so I can build like mad on
Friday (if I get rolling pretty quick, I may make it up by 2:00 PM).

  I'm going to be there around 4 or 5pm, I hope.  I will have
  to leave for a short time on Saturday to go pick up my NLSO
  (who is coming in from Boston by air and will be museuming
  while I'm blowing people's ships to bits).

What time does she fly in? If it's near lunch, we can break for lunch then or
something.

  By the way, any Brickfesters have extra black ratlines (from
  5988) that I might obtain in trade there?  I'm desperate for
  some to replace those anemic threads on _Gloire_.

How many do you need? I could bring some.

(...) I just packed this morning for a local gathering and realized how much space its going to take to pack all these ships. I'd love to get a list of exactly what people hope to bring ship and island wise, so I can see what to leave out. I can (...)

(...) Okay. I'm still probably going to take the little ironclad apart--it has just too many useful pieces! :) I think I may rebuild it into a useful ship. I'll have to work out how to spend the space in my backseat to get everything there! (...) (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

Frank et al, My move is now complete, except for the "unpacking" phase, which I currently dread. As one might expect I am now in the "I own too much LEGO" phase as I nurse my aching back. However, _Gloire_ survived the move without even so much as (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.org.us.wamalug)
