 | | Port Block coming alive again...
|
|
Hi all, After having fallen on hard economic times (busy times in non-Lego life) Port Block is re-emerging. It seems to have been so long since I posted that a bit of an update seems in order... The new ship made possible by the February and June (...) (23 years ago, 1-Dec-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.pirates)

|

I was at my local TRU (Cary, NC) this morning and noticed that they have two of the Pirates re-releases. They have the 6921 ((URL) and 6290 ((URL) It is interesting to note that the set names on the boxes differ from the originals (and the LUGNET) (...)

Ok, I'm new to posting on Lugnet... I was with Steve Jackson when he did his pirate game at Archon. I want to play some more. I have been a Lego Maniac for years and have a fleet of 16 large ships, and 1 cutter. I am in the process of ordering parts (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Replying to my own posting... aaarrghh. After processing some orders and answering several 'better-info' inquiries I think I should make my 'stunt-offer' more clear to you all. I think Dutch, but write English. That's my problem, sorry. Oké, a clear (...) (23 years ago, 21-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)

|

Hi all, Hmm, seems like several of us are on a spree of building medieval warships. I recently (finally) got brown boat hull pieces, and want to make a medieval warship, you know the kind with a crenelated tower at the front and back. Can anyone (...)

This is probably a stupid question, but when did cannons come into use? Would a ship in the 'castle' era have cannons? (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle, 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)

Hello, I've bought new mast set from BSB, but the problems occured. One of the riggings seems to be too short. I've looked to BSB instruction scans and I've noticed the mainmast base and ends of its riggings are on the same level, while the altmast (...) (23 years ago, 10-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)
