  Re: My Goal for Before I Leave
 
Well, HMS Floater is still on the blocks, as I was lacking in inspiration, and some good pictures of frigate rigging. That's been solved after a visit to the Grand Turk while she was at Liverpool, but now I just lack the time & space to get (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  My Goal for Before I Leave
 
Ahem: Forlorn goals for the next two or three weeks: -Sell all of my boxed overstock and parted matter (watch .auction and .b-s-t) <-bald-faced self-important flog -Build a 4-segment brown-hulled Pirate ship -Build a 180-stud battleship -World (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Crooked mast extension bases...?
 
(...) Another, possibly better, possibility: Mount the base on a 2x2 or 4x4 turntable. This will add height, but if you can compensate for the ratline height it should solve the problem. best LFB (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Crooked mast extension bases...?
 
(...) *** SACRILEGE ALERT *** SACRILEGE ALERT *** Have you considered taking a file or something to the mast base, to put in notches in the correct places? I have, but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Anyone tried this yet? How did it work? (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Crooked mast extension bases...?
 
(...) I have examples of both types, but naively assumed it was deliberate. Possibly related (but probably not) is the existence of two slightly different versions of the tall rigging part. IIRC they differ in height by about half the width of one (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Crooked mast extension bases...?
 
(...) I wish. Like I said, it's not that big of a deal, just an oddity to report. And seeing that I'm not the only one helps. They don't cause that much of a problem, just the ratlines don't seat as securely as they should. I'll live, but I might (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Crooked mast extension bases...?
 
Mmmmm. I have two BSBs, one with the twist in both masts, one not. Neither of my forbidden island bits are twisted. My solution was simply to rearrange the height of the masts (as part of the Port Block refit) so that the ratlines tend to hold the (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Map of the Worlde
 
(...) Look on lugnet.cad.dat.parts, they have all been posted there at one time or another. (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.cad)
