(...) Ahoy Sean! If you're just bridging the two baseplates with a bridge, then the best idea would be to *not* try and join them. Keep them seperate (it makes moving the MOC much easier), and just place the bridge between them when they're joined. (...) (22 years ago, 29-Sep-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.build)

(...) How long is the bridge? If the bridge is long, there will be problems with the joints staying together without enough reinforcement. Use long plates and join them on the top and bottom with plates lengthwise...the longer the parts, the better. (...) (22 years ago, 29-Sep-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.build)

Wassssup Everyone, I recently tried to make and MOC by combining a Eldorado Fortress and an Imperial Trading Post.

Eeep! I've been off the board too long -- I come back and the Hussars have arrived -- in fine looking fashion no less! Well, nothing like quite like cavalry to tip the scales in a boarding action... Huh? Well, a good disincentive for a landing (...) (22 years ago, 28-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build.minifigs)

Hi everyone, Thanks all for offering so many useful suggestions. I have been very much influenced by places like Port Block and Port Brique. I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I can. Just a little background, I'm an Astronomer with great (...) (22 years ago, 27-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)

Hey Stephen, I haven't built a lot of docks, only one off the back of a castle. I used the 1x1 round pieces for the pilings and then a plate for the dock, so it was one and one third bricks high. I have a gangplank going up onto the ship. Hope this (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Duplos would be a purer solution, and I always find them at garage sales and flea markets (unlike Legos, which are rare indeed). Hmm, good use for them when the 14 month old outgrows them. George (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Mmmmmm. Sea walls and docks and raising town baseplates are all good uses for decently proportioned clones (ie MB). They're cheap, essentially unseen, and available in adequate colours for these purposes in truckload quantities. Port Block's (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)
