 | | Good string for rigging
|
| Ahoy Pirate Mateys! I've found a string that works well as Pirate ship rigging. It's called Speed-Cro-Sheen. It's thicker than thread, thinner than yarn, and of a fairly dense wrap. AND it comes in black (as well as a lot of other colors). It's just (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) Sorry old man, not really an interiors kind of guy me. I had four different goes at paddle gear and wasn't happy with any of them, before I realised that none of my efforts could be seen through the fairing and grille around the wheel. Now, (...)

One example I can think of might be Britain versus Zanzibar, 1880--pretty much a war against illicit trade and outright piracy given haven by the (...)

Do you have any closer pictures of the paddle gear, and has the steam engine been detailed? (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.pirates)

| | | | | New Capital Ship: HMS Queen
|
| Hi all, In anticipation of my being Lego-less in the upcoming year, I decided to make use of these designs I've been scratching out for the last six months and build a new capital ship. It's not _Gloire_ or any modification thereof, but rather a (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jul-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, lugnet.general) !
