Hello! (...) In my opinion the land should be higher leveled than the docks. A port usually is founded at a place like a bay where the land is high and getting flatter towards the sea. This means you need bricks to elevate the land. Hrm... when I (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)

Ahoy! I've always likes James Howse's idea of Russian hats made from old style tyres (see pics at (URL) note: the use of tyres as hats dates back to at least 1975.) Nice hats, but not really in my prefered era or region. Recently, though, I was (...) (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build.minifigs)

Hey I just got an idea, I might use it myself someday. I read all these results and they say use burps or buy lots of bulk tubs to get it up 6+ bricks high. This is my idea, get enough of the right color bricks for the visible parts, and then DUPLO (...) (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Ahoy, In Port Brique, the sea wall is 12-13 bricks high, with the dock located about half way up at 6 bricks high. The streets are created with 8x16 (or bigger) bricks located on top of the sea wall. The visible parts are red outlined in (...) (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)

Frank, that was a truly awesome MOC of yours, and I thought it was perhaps the best part of the entire town. It would be great to see pics up some tme, when you have modified it. cheers Magnus (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) A combination of raised baseplates and rock pieces (BURPs etc) works for me, though this makes it around 6 high. Michael Dallaston (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Well, to handle the docks problem, you could build the dock 3-4 bricks high, then put a retaining wall on the village side so the water won't flood. Then you can put ladders up to the dock. It works because you only need about a 2 brick high (...) (22 years ago, 21-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)
