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)

(...) 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)

Hi all, I'm in the process of building a dock-side town and am wondering how to go about it. You see, I guess one would normally like to have docks which are 3-4 bricks high, but does that mean the entire village must be elevated by this much. How (...)
