| (...) I'm not a real big Pirate-head but SAILS, from what I have seen (unless you are including them in the masts) you need the sails.

| (...) Any parts that are free are important. Free is good. Cheap is good too, fut free is far fuperior. Of course, make sure you have enough midsections (or the bits to make your own), some lattice windows (arched or 1x4x3 shutter-frames), cannon, a (...) (24 years ago, 15-Apr-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) I've already got about 20 mini-figs, and they are already in my castle's town, but I think I can aquire more. It sounds like most of the sails are destroyed, and that has been bothering me. I have to think of a way to make sails! Rob (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) I have to agree with the free part, I'm already getting baseplates and parts from others who are not interested in the hobby. I will make sure to get all the accessories, and not any Paradisa peoples, unless they are free. Rob (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) I think masts and rigging are harder to get, but then I'm not a purist, and I'd be willing to cut up muslin for sails. I even used the Weapons Wagon cover for a sail on my daughter's boat. George (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) What's this about using bricks to extend the hull? I'm new to Pirate and ship building (actually using the boats for castle). How do you do this, I haven't even see a boat-hull in recently, and the only time I did, I was about seven. How do (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.pirates)
