| Soooo, anybody have any good recommendations? A decent read is Wilbur Smith's "Bird of Prey", or something like that. IIRC, it's set along the African Coast. My favorite is, by far, Tim Powers' "On Stranger Tides". I *love* this book, consider it (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jun-02, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) I would rank them this way: (1) 6286, (2) 6285 (3) 6289. The 6289 was my first large ship to purchase. I can understand why you might prefer it at the moment. Wait until you build your first 6286 or 6285! Those are great models to put (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.pirates)
