(...) Thanks It was meant for the Isle of mist. Most of the other people were going a more futuristic route with their airships so I thought I'd try for a more traditional sailing ship look. Its my fist attempt at a big ship of any kind. I think it (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)

I came across the following cool little ship by Cale Leiphart: (URL) It's got little propellers, so it's probably meant for the Isle of Mist over in .castle.org.cw, but take off the props and it's a very cool little pirate ship in its own right. Go (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Hey Bruce, go for it, I dare you! See how many minifig rowers can be crammed into the hold of a ship, stacked in three levels so tight they barely have room to move the oars! Oh, wait, that makes it easy. The real challenge is that they be able to (...) (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)
