Phase II Construction; all turrets in situ, all decks but bow complete, and both funnels erected. I'm now reaching the point where I don't have enough room in the apartment to take a good picture of the darn thing. The polemast is only there as a (...)

Does anyone know why they stopped making firing cannons and began making these ones where it takes five miniutes just to get the cannonball out? NICK #:^\ (24 years ago, 26-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates)

The #6289 Red Beard Runner's hull would make a perfect hull for a Red Wing airship, as it is red with a grey trim. Has anyone tried this? (...)
