Hi Guys,
Nice Discussion! I agree with most of what’s been said. I think that ship
building requires that you adhere to certain accepted standards or people
won’t accept it as a ship! In space you can pretty much build anything and
claim it to be a space ship. But we don’t really have the same freedom in
building pirate ships.
|
That’s a large part of why I like building .pirate’s stuff. It is a challenge,
but it’s rewarding. I was pleased when Kenneth Tam commented that the Eponine
II “seems to have the smooth lines typical of a French frigate” or when
challenged about the wheel location on the Misérable I could explain that not
only was it correct, but why it was located thus on the real thing.

I too have noticed that pirate stuff sells extremely
well on ebay, but you don’t see that much stuff being built. I think it may
be that people (like me) don’t find the time to post their creations. Maybe
it’s the pirate mentality that makes us more secretive in our work! haha I
wish I could offer a solution to seeing more pirate MOCs, but I don’t have
one. I really enjoy lurking and seeing what does get posted. I will try to
help by posting more stuff in the future!
|
I’ll look forward to it.

Keep up the good work and the
interesting discussions! Pirates Rule!!

I have to disagree here: Pirates rule?
Surely you mean the
properly-constituted-navies-of-civilised-nations-and-particularly-the-French
rule!! :-)

| (...) snip (...) HaHa... I expected a retort along that line from you! But in my lego world, the pirates have the edge! Civilized nations of any nationality live in fear of them. Be warned... :-P Cheers to you too! Tom (21 years ago, 10-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| In lugnet.pirates, Richie Dulin wrote good stuff. Drawing on a particular thread, I found that one arrived at a point where there were few dimensions left to extend.
